Trump's Immigration Goals Mirror Eisenhower's: Jobs And Security

President Trump has invoked President Dwight Eisenhower when explaining his administration's programs that take on the crises of illegal immigration: "Dwight Eisenhower, was a great president - people liked him. He moved a 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country - moved them just beyond the border. They came back. He moved them again beyond the border, they came back. He didn't like it. He moved them way south and they never came back."

Today, the open borders lobby is more pervasive: for example, the National Immigration Forum's chairman is John Gay of the National Restaurant Association, and that group's board members include Craig Regelbrugge, representing the American Nursery and Landscape Association, and Randal K. Johnson of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce - all special interests in search of cheap labor.

General Swing's close connections to President Eisenhower protected him and the Border Patrol from meddling by powerful political and corporate interests.

Unlike the Eisenhower era, protecting the 1,954-mile Mexico-U.S. border, has now become more than an economic issue - it is key to the war on terrorism.

Retired Admiral James Lyons, who was senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations, has observed: "Fixing our porous borders is one of combating the threat of terrorism that America faces. In the various efforts to reform the U.S. immigration system, often overlooked in the debate is its impact on national security."

"During President Eisenhower's first term, 60 years ago, the U.S. faced an invasion across its southern border. Illegal aliens had been coming since World War II. But, suddenly, the number was over one million. Crime was rising in Texas. The illegals were taking the jobs of U.S. farm workersEisenhower was a no-nonsense presidentas for the deportation of the Mexicans, they had broken in, they did not belong here, and they were going back. End of discussion."

Trump faces more severe challenges than Eisenhower, but his goals are the same: protecting the American worker and American national security.
