[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry I don't quite understand how can an illegal immigrant can be turned about away at the border with zero due process but somehow if they make it into the country there has to be due process in order to deport them? Outside of validating their status what else should we need to do?[/quote]

Validating their status and pesky things like whether they are deportable IS due process. [/quote]

Did they do this on the 50s with the million plus Mexicans who were sent home?

I can't find any info on that.[/quote]

You're thinking of Operation Wetback, which was carried out in 1954. This was a U.S. government initiative aimed at reducing illegal immigration from Mexico. The operation involved the mass deportation of Mexican nationals and Mexican-Americans, especially those believed to be in the U.S. without proper documentation.

The operation, led by INS and Border Patrol, was controversial for its aggressive tactics, including rounding up individuals without clear documentation and deporting them, regardless of their legal status. Estimates suggest that around 1 million individuals were deported during this time.

The operation was notable for the violation of civil rights and the lack of legal safeguards for those being deported. Among deportees, were US citizens and legal residents who were not given due process or access to legal representation and there was often lack of evidence of illegal status.  In addition, individuals were detained in harsh conditions. [/quote]
