This isn't the first time in the last century we've had a big economic crash and a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment cresting into a paramilitary response. Hoover's Great Depression and the OG Immigration Quotas system, Eisenhower and Operation Wetback along with the Recessions of '53 and '58, Nixon's Stagflation and border closure with Mexico, Reagan's S&L crash and closing the border with Mexico, Bush Jr's Great Recession and border crisis...

Pretty much every Republican Presidency delivers two things.
