A state lawmaker has drawn a firestorm of criticism from the "Hispanic
community" this week by calling for the renewal of a 1950s-era federal
deportation program known as "Operation Wetback."
[ed. The "hispanics" don't have a "community" either they are Americans,
or they aint; multiculturalism doesn't work, encouraging it is suicide...]
Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, a fiery proponent of new border security laws
and a crackdown on illegal immigration, talked about the possibility of mass
deportations in a radio interview.
"We know what we need to do," Pearce, a Republican seeking re-election, said
during the "Morning Edition" show on KJZZ radio in Phoenix. "In 1953, Dwight
D. Eisenhower put together a task force called 'Operation Wetback.' He
removed, in less than a year, 1.3 million illegal aliens. They must be
deported."
The Arizona Democratic Party noted Pearce's comments in a news release
Thursday that included angry comments from Hispanic activists. They noted
that the term "wetback" is considered derogatory.
[ed. So?]
Roberto Reveles, the president of Somos America, called Pearce's comments
"outrageous" and said his support of such a policy reflects "a sense of
insecurity on his part and his fear and loathing of undocumented
immigrants."
"(Pearce) is on a constant campaign of demeaning people and creating an
imagery of them in the public's mind as being somewhat less than human,"
Reveles said.
Pearce defended his comments, accusing activists of supporting
"lawbreakers."
"This was a successful program," he said, "and I'm quoting a successful
program for those who continue to tell you it's impossible to deport
(illegal immigrants) in this country."
Pearce said he was only referring to the term "wetback" in its historical
context.
"In the '50s it was common. In the '60s it was common. You don't use it
today because people have tried to make it offensive," Pearce said. "Things
change, and you know what? Who cares? Whatever they want to be called, I'm
OK with that."
Pearce said he likes to use "very graphic" terms to make a point.
[ed. The argument is all about the term he used, not the 10 to god-knows how
many million illegals pour across the border and what to do with them...]
Pearce is seeking re-election along with Rep. Mark Anderson, R-Mesa, and
Democratic challenger Tammie Pursley. They are vying for two seats on the
state House of Representatives.
Anderson said he was surprised that Pearce was so overt about his support
for the program.
"I've never heard him say that before in such a direct way," Anderson said.
Anderson added that he supports securing the borders, but opposes mass
deportation.
"It's not realistic," Anderson said. "Once the border is secure, we can come
up with some way for people to earn their citizenship."
[ed. You start by giving police the power to check whether someone is
illegal or not, no more "sanctuary cities", coupled with a fence and a military
supporting the national guard, AND most importantly making it harder for people
to hire the queue jumpers, it is entirely realistic. You just need the
political will and to forget "hispanic" vote harvesting for five seconds...]
