DONALD TRUMP HAS ELABORATED A LITTLE MORE ON HIS IMMIGRATION
POLICY, AND AS YOU KNOW HE DOES NOT TAKE KINDLY TO UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
AS A RESULT DURING THE DEBATES
HE DECIDED TO PAY HOMAGE TO A PRESIDENT WHO HAD A VERY
CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION POLICY, DWIGHT EISENHOWER.
TAKE A LOOK.
LET ME TELL YOU, DWIGHT EISENHOWER, GOOD PRESIDENT,
GREAT PRESIDENT, PEOPLE LIKED HIM, I LIKE IKE.
RIGHT?
THE
EXPRESSION, I LIKE IKE.
HE MOVED 1.5 MILLION ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, MOVED THEM JUST BEYOND THE
BORDER, THEY CAME BACK.
MOVED THEM AGAIN BEYOND THE BORDER,
THEY CAME BACK.
DIDN'T LIKE IT.
MOVED THEM WAY SOUTH, THEY NEVER
CAME BACK.
DWIGHT EISENHOWER, YOU DON'T GET NICER, FRIENDLIER, HE
MOVED ONE 1.5 MILLION OUT.
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
THE POLICY HE WAS REFERRING TO WAS REFERRED TO AS OPERATION
WETBACK.
I LIKE IKE, PEOPLE LIKE IKE.
NOBODY NICER, NOBODY FRIENDLIER.
OKAY, YOU HAVE
PROVEN YOUR POINT.
YOU CAN PURSUE RACIST POLICIES AND STILL BE CONSIDERED A
NICE GUY, TO OTHER WHITE PEOPLE I SUPPOSE.
I WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT
EISENHOWER DID, AND THE MISCONCEPTION OF HIM DEPORTING
1.5 MILLION PEOPLE OUT OF THE UNITED STATES, THAT NUMBER IS
INFLATED, I WILL GIVE YOU THE REAL NUMBER IN A SECOND.
BEFORE
WE GET TO THAT, DONALD TRUMP WENT ON MORNING JOE AND
ELABORATED ON WHAT HE PLANS ON DOING.
HE PLANS ON CREATING A
SO-CALLED DEPORTATION FORCE THAT IS MORE HUMANE.
TELL ME HOW?
ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A MASSIVE DEPORTATION FORCE?
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A DEPORTATION FORCE, AND YOU
WILL DO IT HUMANELY.
HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR THIS?
IT IS VERY INEXPENSIVE.
THEY ARE GOING BACK WHERE THEY CAME.
IF THEY CAME FROM A CERTAIN COUNTRY THEY WILL BE
BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNTRY.
THAT IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
JUST DRIVE BUSES TO CHINA, EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA --
DRIVE BUSES ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WHY WOULD THE GOVERNMENT STOP US FROM DOING THAT?
I DON'T SEE WHY.
AND THE DEPORTATION FORCE WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT.
THAT IS NICE OF THEM, I WOULD SAY.
I KNOW WE HAVE A MUCH MORE,
BUT REALLY FAST, BECAUSE WE PLAYED THAT OTHER VIDEO -- I MISS SARAH
PALIN.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS AS STUPID AS A POLITICIAN COULD
GET, HE IS STUPIDER.
EVERYTHING IN THAT -- I LIKE IKE, IT IS AN
EXPRESSION.
IT WAS A CAMPAIGN SLOGAN OF THE EISENHOWER
ADMINISTRATION.
AND JUST IN CASE IN THE FUTURE I DO ANYTHING --
LIKE IF I LIE ON THE AIR OR I DO SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T LIKE, I
LIKE PIE.
THAT IS AN EXPRESSION NOW, I JUST SAID IT.
IN THE
FUTURE, THAT IS THE EXPRESSION.
YEAH, I KICKED THAT PUPPY, BUT I
LIKE PIE.
WHAT IS HE EVEN SAYING?
HE'S SAYING NOTHING.
AND THE THING IS, OKAY --
ONE OTHER THING -- AND THEY NEVER CAME BACK.
AND THAT'S WHY
WE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AGAIN?
NO,
YOU IDIOT, PEOPLE DID CONTINUE TO COME.
11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES
RIGHT NOW, EISENHOWER'S PLAN DIDN'T WORK.
THE NUMBERS WERE
INFLATED.
AND LATER ON TRUMP WILL CLAIM ALMOST 2,000,000 WERE
SUCCESSFULLY DEPORTED, HISTORIANS HAVE REALIZED IT WAS
ACTUALLY ABOUT 250,000.
IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 1.5 MILLION OR 2
MILLION, DON'T BELIEVE THAT NUMBER.
OR THE 11 MILLION HE WANTS.
EXACTLY, WHICH IS SO RIDICULOUS.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE
CONVERSATION LET'S PRETEND AS THOUGH THE PLAN DID WORK, AND
IT WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW IT WAS
CONDUCTED AND THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST AS
A RESULT.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 1955.
DURING THE SUMMERTIME THE TEMPERATURES IN MEXICALI
CAN REACH UP TO 125∞.
THAT SOUNDS DANGEROUS.
IT DOES.
I'M SURE TRUMP WILL KEEP THAT PART.
THAT IS THE
POLICY THAT EISENHOWER IS BEING APPLAUDED
FOR BY DONALD TRUMP.
HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE, THEY ARE GRAPHIC, BUT IT WILL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT
DONALD TRUMP THOUGHT WAS A SUCCESSFUL DEPORTATION BY OUR
GOVERNMENT.
THESE ARE IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE HUMILIATED, THEY HAD
THEIR HEADS SHAVED SO BORDER PATROL AGENTS COULD IDENTIFY
THEM SHOULD THEY TRY TO COME BACK TO THE UNITED STATES --
IT LOOKS LIKE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
THAT IS WHAT THESE PHOTOS LOOK LIKE.
THIS IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP THINKS HE WILL DO WITH 11
MILLION UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
OF COURSE
WE ARE CALLING HIM OUT ON IT, BUT ANOTHER PERSON WHO CALLED
HIM OUT SURPRISINGLY WAS BILL O'REILLY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
I LIKE IKE.
YOU WERE AROUND THEN.
I LIKE IKE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DID.
HE DEPORTED, AS YOU RIGHTLY POINTED OUT, ABOUT 1 MILLION,
MAYBE A LITTLE MORE, ILLEGAL ALIENS BACK IN THE EARLY 50S.
THE YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM WAS CALLED?
NOW THEY THINK IT IS 2.2 MILLION.
WHATEVER IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM WAS CALLED?
I DO BUT I WOULD NOT USE THE TERM, I DON'T LIKE THE TERM.
THE FORMAL THING IS THE BRACERO PROGRAM, WE WILL HAUL
YOU BACK.
THAT WAS BRUTAL WHAT THEY DID TO THOSE PEOPLE, TO
KICK THEM BACK.
THE STUFF THEY DID WAS REALLY BRUTAL, IT COULD
NEVER HAPPEN TODAY.
I HAVE HEARD IT BOTH WAYS.
I HAVE HEARD GOOD REPORTS, BAD
REPORTS.
WE WOULD DO IT IN A HUMANE WAY.
AND LET ME TELL YOU, TRUMAN
ALSO SENT 3.5 MILLION PEOPLE OUT.
YOU HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT.
TRUMAN BEFORE IKE SENT 3.5 MILLION PEOPLE OUT.
AGAIN HE IS LYING ABOUT THE NUMBERS.
2.2 MILLION PEOPLE DID NOT GET DEPORTED FROM THE UNITED
STATES, IT WAS CLOSE TO 250,000.
THAT IS ACCORDING TO HISTORIANS.
NOW THEY THINK IT WAS 7 MILLION.
I LOVE HOW IT HAS BEEN LIKE A FEW DAYS SINCE TRUMP CLAIMED IT
WAS 1.5 MILLION, NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE SAYING IT WAS
2.2 MILLION.
WHO IS SAYING THAT?
WHILE THEY WERE ON THE BORDER WAITING TO SHIP THEM OVER THEY
STORED THEM IN GIGANTIC PYRAMIDS.
I HATE SEEING THE
VIDEOS, I HATE HIS STUPID ARROGANCE.
IT'S -- AH, GOD.
IT'S
LIKE -- IT'S EXTREMELY DUMB FASCISM.
LIKE, YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND IN SOME COUNTRIES, ECONOMICALLY, MILITARILY, THEY
HAVE BEEN SO BEATEN DOWN THE FASCIST LEADERS WILL RISE UP AND
SAY THIS IS HOW WE BECOME STRONG AGAIN, AND THEN THEY SAY, THAT
IS A STRONG LEADER, I WILL FOLLOW HIM, I DON'T CARE WHAT
THE FUCK WE HAVE TO DO.
BUT TRUMP IS THE STUPIDEST PERSON IN
THIS COUNTRY.
A PERSON WHO CAN BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS THAT WE ARE
GOING TO DO IT HUMANELY -- HOW?
HE IS ALREADY ON RECORD SAYING IN
RESPONSE TO CONCERNS THAT YOU CAN'T SEND THESE PEOPLE BACK,
THEY HAVE KIDS HERE, YOU CAN'T BREAK UP THE FAMILIES, HE HAS
THE EASY SOLUTION -- WE SEND THE KIDS TOO.
WE DEPORT THE AMERICAN
CITIZENS, MILLIONS OF THEM, ACROSS THE BORDER.
HE IS TOO STUPID TO BE ON REALITY TV.
IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE, HE IS TOO
STUPID TO BE ON A REALITY SHOW.
UNFORTUNATELY HE IS THE FRONT RUNNER FOR THE GOP.
