Some scholars contend that the unprecedented number of deportations between 1929 and 1933 were part of a policy by the administration of Herbert Hoover who had scapegoated Mexicans for the Great Depression and instituted stricter immigration policies with the stated intent of freeing up jobs for Americans.
Who was the president when the great depression started?
What was their party affiliation, more importantly did they focus on laissez-faire capitalism? That is, did they believe in reducing regulation for the free market?
A mere 10 seconds of recalling history irrevocably damns the low quality conservatives.

It’s very odd how little Harding and Coolidge’s corruption immediately leading up the the Great Depression is almost never discussed at all.
It was, then as now, a series of bad choices in terms of reducing regulation and anti-worker decisions. We are in danger of echoing those times.
Hoover certainly did his part to make the situation worse though, and quickly.
