North Korea Accused of Launching Floating Poop Balloon Attack

Daily Beast–South Korea’s military on Wednesday accused North Korea of floating balloons loaded with trash and manure across the border and immediately demanded that Pyongyang halt its “inhumane and vulgar” operation.

More than 260 balloons have already been detected in South Korea since the operation began on Tuesday night, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Images released by the military appear to show the balloons carrying plastic bags—one of which had the word “excrement” written on the side, according to Reuters.

WATCH — Donald Trump Waves to Migrants Across the Border: ‘They Love Trump, Can You Believe It?’

Breitbart–Former President Donald Trump waved to migrants — presumably waiting to cross the border — during his visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, this week.

A clip from Trump’s trip to Eagle Pass shows the Republican frontrunner standing near a wire fence, waving and pumping his fist. Someone from afar begins to shout, “Trump! Trump!”

One individual says to Trump, “They’re waving at you.”

“They like Trump. Can you believe it?” the former president joked, patting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on the back and adding, “They like your governor.”

Could A Reprise Of Eisenhower’s ‘Operation Wetback’ Solve The Illegal Immigration Crisis?

by

The presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower saw two significant initiatives affecting U.S. immigration and immigrants.

Boundless–In 1953 Eisenhower signed the Refugee Relief Act of 1953, welcoming 214,000 more European immigrants to the U.S. than were allowed under the current system of visa quotas. The 1953 Act was in many ways a continuation of the 1948 Displaced Persons Act, which had expired in 1952.

Eisenhower’s administration also presided over the pejoratively-named “Operation Wetback,” the mass deportation of up to 1.3 million undocumented Mexicans illegally in California, Arizona and Texas. The operation, which lasted several months, went forward with at least the tacit approval of the Mexican government, labor groups, and Mexican Americans worried that uncontrolled immigration made the lives of legal immigrants more difficult. The raids disrupted agricultural work in the effected areas, and several Mexicans died due to heat stroke while in the custody of U.S. immigration officials.
