Food for thought on "Operation Wetback" looking ba
Food for thought "Operation Wetback" and the already tried Amnesty program results:
Seems there is nothing that has not been tried before from amnesty to a militarized "Mexican Repatriation act" called operation wetback... both failed. I think it is very important to look back so that past mistakes are not made again.
1. Amnesty only created a bigger problem.
2. A military repatriation action was deemed a "police action" was stopped and also failed.

Since 1954 the Federal government has been stymied as to what to do next so they have done nothing. The answer has been staring the Feds and the country in the face the whole time...
Go to the Constitution and the laws already on the books!
The ground work this time must be laid carefully. This problem took over a 100 years to create. I am proud of my State of Arizona for being first to take the correct steps to lay down a legal and constitutionally defined frame work for this problem. The new laws will basically destroy the illegal magnets which will slow or stop new illegals from coming to AZ while pushing the IA already here back across the boarder. It will also allow legal lawful deportations.
The "new" laws in Arizona are not really new. They have been here...but not enforced. I think that the pioneering efforts of Local Arizona Sheriff Joe Aparo should be thanked for pioneering the enforcement of the law and the immense legal and social pressures he is still under.
It will take some time for these laws to go into effect here and more time to fully see the effects/results but they are working already and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I see many For Rent signs in the Latino areas and there are not nearly as many on the streets or in the stores here.
Hopefully...even if the Feds devise a plan for amnesty or work permits for those already in the country...they will not work here under the new Arizona laws.
Anyone regardless of race will have to show valid legal entry documentation to apply for any kind of license or service or permits or visas or passports or for schools or work or anything...and to do that it will have to start with them returning to their home lands...where ever that may be.
I guess we are the test case for the Nation...stay tuned...because I think a lot of States will follow suit... But no matter how you slice it...this is going to be a long and painful battle for the Nation.
