Moses Palmer arrived in the United States in 1914. He went to Bisbee, Arizona to work in the copper mine. I have never heard any family stories about the Deportation of 1917 but I am sure he was a part of what was going on because he was there. His father in law, William Glaister had arrived there previously and encouraged Moses to come.
I am including some links to stories about the Deportation and hope that you enjoy reading about this as I have.

Research Toolbox
I have posted a link to some genealogy websites that you may need or even find interesting whether you are doing research or not. I will add to this as I get more information. Look in the top right hand corner. I have put it here for all to use and so that I will be able to access it myself and I hopefully will be able to remember where it is.

Family History Expo
I just spent 2 days at the Family History Expo in St. George, UT. Even the rainy weather could not dampen my enthusiasm. I learned so much and hope that I live long enough to put all of this knowledge to use.
I highly recommend that you attend if they come to a town near you.
