Phoenix legislator supports deportations through 'Operation Wetback'

As a species, we don't evolve much, do we?

Republican Representative Russell Pearce is not known for being soft-spoken on the illegal immigration issue.

But his latest interview on a Phoenix radio station has really turned some heads.

During an interview on ''Morning Edition'' on KJZZ, 91.5 FM, Pearce said he would support bringing back a controversial program dubbed ''Operation Wetback.''

The program called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants in the mid 1950s.
