Deport illegals

America, what did Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower have in common? Here is something that should be of great interest to you. Back during the Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported more than 2 million illegal aliens after World War II to create jobs for returning veterans. And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican nationals. The program was intended to make it so that American World War II and Korean War veterans had a better chance of finding jobs. It took two years, but they deported them.

Now, if they could deport the illegals back then, they sure can do it today. If the 535 gutless politicians that want to control 300 million Americans were worth a dime, they would so something to benefit the American people instead of special interest groups with hands full of money to stuff their greedy pockets.

Wake up, America, and don't forget to pay your taxes; 18 million illegal aliens are depending on you!
