Plan to Deport Trump: What we know so far

Plan to Deport Trump: What we know so far

During the election campaign, President-elect Trump promised multiple times to carry out the largest mass deportation of illegal aliens in American history.

Although it may seem like an extreme position, it is a movement supported by a movement. majority of voters Including a decent number of Democrats. There is no appetite to continue draining public resources for people who cross the line and ignore America’s laws.

According to a new report From the Wall Street Journal (here non-paywall version), the Trump transition team is already fleshing out the details and preparing immediate actions that will begin the process of eliminating violent criminals on day one and continue thereafter:

Advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are drawing up plans to fulfill his pledge to mass deportation; including discussing how to pay for those commitments and considering a national emergency declaration that would allow the incoming administration to redeploy military assets to detain and remove immigrants.

Behind-the-scenes discussions that began months before the election and escalated in the days after Trump’s victory include policy changes needed to increase deportations, according to people working on the presidential transition, members of Congress and others close to Trump. president-elect

The changes include rescinding the Biden administration’s policy directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement not to pursue immigrants in the country illegally who have not committed other crimes and making changes to the immigration court system to speed up cases. Trump allies have said they plan to focus primarily on immigrants who are in the country illegally and have received final deportation orders from an immigration court — they number about 1.3 million — as well as those with other criminal convictions or charges.

The beauty of such a move is that Trump does not need to enact new laws to enforce existing ones. With appropriate administrative actions, deportations can be reprioritized and expedited for those already on the list.

Part of the plan includes an emergency declaration that would free up military resources:

As a first step, Trump’s advisers are discussing issuing a national emergency declaration at the border on his first day in office; his team thinks this will allow him to move money from the Pentagon to build the wall and help detain and deport immigrants. . However, the legality of such a move is unclear. Trump’s advisers think a national emergency would also unlock the ability to use military bases to detain immigrants and military aircraft to assist with deportations.

The public generally supports this move, despite the insistence of Democrats who consistently prioritize the welfare of illegal immigrants over the welfare of American citizens.

As for the costs associated with the plan, Trump made clear that it’s not about cost, but about enforcing the law and ending the chaos. According to NBC News:

When asked about the cost of his plan, he said: “It’s not a question of the price tag. Actually it’s not like that, we have no choice. When people kill and slaughter, when drug lords destroy countries and now they don’t stay here, they will return to those countries. There is no price tag.”

The price tag for such a move would undoubtedly be a fraction of the money we send to Ukraine or waste on non-government-essential pork. This is too small an amount to secure our southern border and begin to restore order in America’s cities. As Trump said, we have no choice if we want to preserve national sovereignty.

Trump is also poised to revive other parts of previous immigration policies that were largely successful in deterring illegal border crossings:

Officials from Trump’s first administration also wrote President Biden’s draft executive order to revise existing asylum restrictions at the southern border to continue construction of the border wall and eliminate humanitarian exemptions. A person working on Trump’s transition said they plan to engage in aggressive negotiations with Mexico to revive the stay-in policy and identify potential safe third countries to which asylum seekers could be sent.

This is a political no-brainer and something that must take shape sooner or later.

Instead of acting surprised that Trump is working on the problem, Democrats should explain to people like Patty Morin, a mother who lost her child at the hands of an illegal alien, why it’s wrong to expect anything better from her government:
