Mitchell quoted in PolitiFact article
Professor Donald Mitchell was quoted in the recent PolitiFact article, "Trump: Eisenhower deported 1.5 million immigrants." Mitchell says of the 1950s campaign to deport undocumented immigrants "The case of California is a good example. The INS said 540,000 people were to be deported from
California alone during the campaign. But at least 485,000 would have had to
deport themselves, and there’s no evidence that they actually returned
to Mexico in those numbers." 11/16/15
