    For whom? The people being deported? Or for the overall effectiveness of the plan?

      I’m pretty sure there was a damaging mass deportation during the Great Depression that deported mostly american citizens to Mexico.

            Maybe that’s his plan. He doesn’t like the prenup and wants to marry that ghoul Loomer so he’s doing this to get her deported and the marriage annulled. Then he’ll use government money to put on a huge wedding and try to have a baby immediately. Everyone knows if you’re president when you have a kid the government is on the hook for support. Unlimited money!!!

            It’s 12-D chess!!!1!

          I checked and it seems the one during Great Depression where it was 60% American was a different operation. Operation Wetback was 1954 and it says “some US citizens were deported” but doesn’t give numbers or percentages. For the Great Depression one it says

          According to historian Francisco Balderrama, the U.S. deported over 1 million Mexican nationals, 60 percent of whom were U.S. citizens of Mexican descent, during the 1930s.

          The program became a contentious issue in Mexico–United States relations, even though it originated from a request by the Mexican government to stop the illegal entry of Mexican laborers into the United States.

          Huh
