> For the average European
Depends how old you are, I guess:
- The Palmer Raids (1919-20)
- WW2 internment and deportation (1942-45)
- McCarthy era (all of the 50s)
- Present day
Each one seems to have deported random people. Many of whom did nothing wrong.
And honorable mention:
- Fallout from the Iranian hostage crisis (1979-81)
That last one didn't involve Europeans, per se, but it did deport a lot of innocent people. And for a bonus, here's the ~30yr pattern of anti-immigration:
- Immigration Act of 1924
- Operation Wetback of 1954
- Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996
- Present day
These things have _always_ happened here. And some of them even follow a pattern.
