re: #30 Belafon

I’m going to keep bringing this up, because it provides a bit of historical context, but I wonder what it was like when Ike was rounding up all those people? I know that way more whites were for it than there are now, but I’m just curious what kinds of campaigns were going on back then.

Wikipedia details some of that on their article about Operation Wetback.

Amongst other things, hundreds of US citizens were deported. It was originally conceived as a joint USA-Mexico operation, but Mexico soured on it as it was apparent the conservatives of the day didn’t give a diddly damn about human rights (not to mention deporting non-Mexicans to Mexico).
