Colbert: Trump Supports Eisenhower’s ‘Operation Wetback’

COLBERT: "And Donald Trump doubled down on his plan to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants, citing the historical precedent set by someone who he considers a great leader-- and here's the shocker-- it's not Donald Trump."
TRUMP [video]: "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 million and a half 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."
COLBERT: "Trump is right. Eisenhower deported 1.5 million illegal immigrants back in the 1950s, and it must have worked because Mexicans were never seen here again. Now, I did some research, and Trump's right. Eisenhower did deport over a million Mexicans. It was a little program the United States government actually called 'Operation Wetback.' So you might want to update that button to I like Ike with significant reservations."
