Revisiting Operation Wetback
By Bob Small
Even many of us who follow American History may not be aware of the 1950’s “Operation Wetback”
The 1943 The Bracero Program was launched to provide temporary Mexican farm workers for US farms. After World War 2 ended both Mexico (needing workers for their farms) and the US (wanting work for their workers, including those returning from WW2) rethought the Bracero program. There were also the illegal Mexican immigrants working for American farms.
“The deportations were originally requested and assisted by the government of Mexico to prevent much-needed Mexican farm laborers from working in the United States.”
As to the term “Wetbacks” see Wetback (slur)
In 1954 Mexico sent 5,000 armed military to the border. President Eisenhower responded by sending fellow West Pointer and World War II General “Jumping Joe” Swing Joseph May Swing as INS Commissioner with orders to resolve the border crisis. Thus General Swing created Operation Wetback.
The total amount of persons deported is widely disputed. Parenthetically, there were numerous individuals who self-deported hearing about Operation Wetback.
According to the Texas Employment Commission Operation Wetback “ The United States Immigration Service, under pressure from various agricultural groups, retaliated against Mexico in 1951 by allowing thousands of immigrant workers to cross the border illegally, arresting them, and turning them over to the Texas Employment Commission, which delivered them to work for various grower groups in Texas and elsewhere. “
One of Swing’s first acts was the transfer of certain veteran immigration officials from the Border area to other areas where their strong connections with senators like Pat McCarran (Nevada) and Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas), who favored weak border enforcement would no longer hold sway.
Three recommendations were listed. To summarize; Deport captured Mexicans deep into Mexico, punish the employers who hire illegals, and end the “catch and release” program. This article included advice to then-President George W. Bush.
For another perspective, see The Militant from May 24th, 2010 U.S. capitalist owners need immigrant labor which reminded us of the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act which was also supposed to resolve this problem.

Haverford Election Workers Told To Improperly Return Poll Pads
By Sharon Devaney
I spoke with several individuals at the Delaware County Bureau of Elections, Friday, about the problems with the poll pads I experienced on this past Election Day .
I also emailed them twice.
I am the minority inspector in 6-2 in Haverford Township. At the end of the night the poll pads in 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 did not shut down . I called for help . I was screamed at by a individual who proceeded to tell me to put the poll pads back into the case with the three poll pads not being shut down properly. This made the four of us very skeptical about this .
Also the unprofessional and disrespectful shouting at the end of a 12-hour day was absolutely disgraceful. I was following all the procedures. I am still awaiting a call back to see if anyone has looked into the problem with our poll pads and would like a apology from the individual who was shouting at me . I also requested that the Bureau look into who this was and that they are removed from their position.
On Monday, I informed Delco Director of Elections Jim Allen in person.
He denied ever hearing of it.
By the way, the poll pad in 6-2 did not work in the morning.
We need people who value Delaware County and abide by the lawful procedures and processes of the elections. I will await someones reply .

Delco Defam Case Asks Are Public Officials Public Officials — The pre-trial conference for James Savage’s other defamation case was held yesterday morning, Nov. 25, before Delaware County (Pa.) Common Pleas Court Judge John Whelan.
Savage was Delco’s voting machine warehouse supervisor during the 2020 election. His co-plaintiff is Jim Allen who directs the county’s Bureau of Elections.
Representing them is attorney John Rooney, who replaced J. Conor Corcoran.
Being sued are Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes, authors of The Parallel Election; Newsmax, a news network; Margot Cleveland of the Federalist; and former Trump Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley who commented detachedly for three minutes on the matter while representing America First Policy Institute.
Whelan is asked to rule whether the statute of limitations passed due to service of summons not being timely and whether Savage and Allen are public officials.
Public officials have a significantly higher burden to prove defamation. Rooney argued that Allen and Savage were not public officials but private citizens, a claim Whelan treated with obvious skepticism. The defendant attorneys cited numerous instances as to why they were public officials. Ms. Hoopes presented two folders of information as to why they should be considered such and Stenstrom noted that machine warehouse supervisor is one of the few statutory roles cited in the state Election Code.
Whelan also expressed concern as to how the summons for the case was handled.
Stenstrom noted that Savage lost a similar defamation case before Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Michael E. Erdos. February, and that he shouldn’t be allowed a second bite of the apple.
Allen was not a plaintiff in that one.
Corcoran was sanctioned in March for his behavior in the case forcing him off the Delco case.
Erdos specifically accused Corcoran of practicing lawfare, said Stenstrom.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes are representing themselves. They noted they actions by the plaintiffs over the past three years have caused tremendous personal burdens for both.
At issue, are videos taken by a whistleblower that appear to show Allen and Savage breaking election law.
Rooney says the video shown on Newsmax are “doctored” because words have been imposed on it.
Stenstrom says that Rooney has not forensically examined the video. He says it is accurate and that he has submitted it under penalty of perjury to numerous courts and law enforcement agencies including the Pennsylvania Attorney General and Delaware County District Attorney offices.
He has yet to be charged with a crime.
