Wasn't it roosevelt who actually deported all the illegals in the united states?
Answer:
There was some round up of illegals during the Great depression due to the job issue. But the last president who really took illegal immigration seriously was Eisenhower. Look up:
"OPERATION W.E.T.B.A.C.K. "
(I had to use periods cause the censor bots would have blanked out the word.)
No. He forced 110,000 Japanese-Americans (legally here) into concentration camps.
Which Roosevelt. Someone keeps quoting Teddy, because he thinks all immigrants should take up our culture and our language when they come in. He is one of my favorite President. FDR on the other hand probably put quite a few in concentration camps.
EDit: TO inform people, FDR actually had other concentration camps other than for the Japanese. THere were a lot of paranoia during world war 2. I heard there were quite a few Germans sent to these camps, but other people were sent too. I would believe that anyone illegally in the US would be put in these camps in fear of them being spies.
Franklin Roosevelt put Japanese into camps in February 19, 1942.
It was called the Executive Order 9066 basically FDR put people into camps just like what the Nazi's were doing in Germany.
Did you know many of those people he put in camps where US Citizens??
It was President Regan that finally signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government.
The legislation stated that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership"
It was not until 1988 that a lot of these people were given an apology. Like I said before many of these people were US Citizens some of them where 2nd or 3rd generation Americans!
On the comment above about Operation W.e.t B.a.c.k.
I would like to point out that many of the Mexicans that were forced to leave the United States where born US Citizens.
Approximately 60% of the people deported were children who were born in America and others who, while of Mexican descent, were legal citizens. I would like to note that these people where given compensation because a lot of the people sent back where not 1st or 2nd generation American citzens.

He invited "Braceros" to come and pick the crops during the war, and Truman never really kicked all of them out.
If you are talking about the internment of the Japanese during WWII, they were sent to camps for no other reason than that they were Japanese.
