Massive deportations are (Or `were') not unheard of. Several past 
presidents made it one of their priorities. 

And the surprising thing is what the same media from back when those
deportations took place were saying...and what they are saying now. A
few headlines and `sub' headlines from a well-known publication:

"SOUTHWEST WINKS AT `WETBACK' JOBS"

"Ethics Cast Aside as Growers Accept Peonage Idea and Bridle at Interference"

"FEDERAL SANCTION NOTED

"Border Patrol Officers Report Pressure From Washington to `Go Easy' in Raids"

"Gestapo Tactics Charged"

"Social Security Cards Issued"

""WETBACKS" Linked to Crime"

"Southwest "winks" at Wetbacks"

President Truman wanted to do something about it, even sending a message to
Congress back then to `penalize' employers who hired them (surprise!).  

It was being refered  to as `an invasion by this particular media outlet 
back then.

Of course...today if you used the term `wetback' you'd be shouted into a
politically-correct, socialist/democrat `tolerance' class! Use the word
`invasion' or `illegal alien'...and you'll be in the same class as Rush
Limbaugh. And everybody knows how much liberal democrats hate Rush Limbaugh.

By the way...the publication that printed all those headlines above? 

The New York Times. Back in the Truman and Eisenhower days.
