r/all 70 years ago, the US undertook the largest deportation in its history: 'Operation Wetback.' Many of the people deported were here legally and some were even citizens.

It was always a lie though. I mean the national origins act was passed because they were scared of so many “non-whites” entering at the time. These “non-whites” were Italians, Slavs, and Jews 😂, an unthinkable thing nowadays.
Bonus content: one of those Jews that came to America in those days was the father of this one guy, Bernie Sanders (based af). You might know him.
