snip-"The Deportation Campaigns of the Great DepressionThese were part of the repatriation drives, a series of informal raids that took place around the United States during the Great Depression. Local governments and officials deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico, according to research conducted by former California State Senator Joseph Dunn, who in 2004 investigated the deportations under President Herbert Hoover. Dunn estimates around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens, many of them born in the United States to first-generation immigrants.

Unlike in the 1939s, though, when most of the deportees were of Mexican heritage, todays migrants and undocumented people are from many parts of the world. Mexico is a sovereign country and will not allow millions of people to simply be dumped across the border.
