Strongly agree

No, make it easier for immigrants to access temporary work visas

Eisenhower's administration continued the Bracero Program, which was a bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that allowed Mexican laborers to work legally in the U.S. on a temporary basis. This suggests that he would likely agree with making it easier for immigrants to access temporary work visas.

Agree

No, just enforce the current border policy

Eisenhower's administration was known for enforcing the existing immigration laws and policies, as evidenced by 'Operation Wetback'. However, his support for the Bracero Program suggests that he also saw the need for some flexibility in immigration policy.

Agree

Yes

Eisenhower's administration was known for the 'Operation Wetback' in 1954, which was a military-style operation to remove undocumented Mexican immigrants. This suggests that he might agree with increased restrictions, but not strongly as his administration also had policies that facilitated legal immigration.

Slightly agree

Yes, and allow border states to manage their own security policy

Disagree

No

Given Eisenhower's implementation of 'Operation Wetback', it can be inferred that he might disagree with the idea of not increasing restrictions on border security. However, his administration also supported the Bracero Program, which allowed Mexican laborers to work legally in the U.S., suggesting a more nuanced view.

Very strongly disagree
