Gop will pay a political price for an immigration crusade in California

Although the use of President Trump’s military may be unprecedented to support ice in arresting immigrants in their jobs, churches and courts, the mass removal of Latinos have happened several times in the US history. Important lessons can be learned from these efforts to deport. In addition to injuring vulnerable immigrants, the measures had political consequences in the long run, with some even taking advantage of immigrants.

Neither Newsom nor BAS requested help from the National Guard – let alone the Marines. In fact, they feared that the participation of the US military would only ignite the potentially avid situation. The last time president Unleashed the National Guard without a state request is to apply civil rights laws in 1965 while while Trump declares protesters as insurgents. They are perceived as protecting the civil rights of immigrants.

There is little evidence that federal immigration officers need protection from protesters. More recently, the bigger part of them were peaceful and they just wanted to know that they object to the measures for extreme implementation of the Trump administration immigration.

Southern California operations in recent weeks have a sinister resemblance to Mexican Repatriation Campaign During the Great DepressionS The federal, US and local authorities worked together to remove people from Mexican ancestral – US citizens, as well as immigrants – with mass arrests in the heart of Los Angeles, close to what is now Olver Street, which, ironically, paid tribute to the Mexican bellies of the city.

In 1994, the California Government Pete Wilson, a Republican, won re -election by lagging behind Proposal 187An anti -immigrant vote, which would ban under -schools from public schools, refused all public benefits and required police officers to check the immigration status of all who have encountered.

Despite invade the federal power To regulate immigration.

Prop. 187 marked the death of the Republican Party in California (as well as Wilson’s political career). Latin Americans mobilize, immigrants naturalized and turnout were rising. They chose democratic legislators in a record number, including many Latinos. California later declare yourself a sanctuaryS

Immigration measures for Curry political support are nothing new to US policy or Latinos in the United States. But history teaches us that Trump immigration measures will have devastating effects on the Latin American community and that a political price will be paid in the long run.
