The fourth GOP debate took place last night, and it was a much calmer event than the previous three. However, a few comments left me far more disturbed than the previous three debates combined. During the debate, Donald praised Eisenhower’s deportation efforts, and many praised him for it – including Ann Coulter and Michelle Bachmann, among others.

As I sat in my living room, praying that someone would call him out for repeatedly praising the 1950s deportation efforts, I had a knot in my stomach. Trump didn’t use the slang term for Eisenhower’s repatriation project, nor the details of what happened, and I think I know why. His comments were rather vague, yet telling:

Let me just tell you that Dwight Eisenhower, good president, great president, people liked him. “I like Ike,” right? The expression. “I like Ike.” Moved a 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. You don’t get friendlier. They moved a 1.5 million out. We have no choice. We have no choice.

As many praise Trump’s comments on Eisenhower, I thought I’d put together a few facts on “Operation Wetback.”
