Illegal immigration is destroying our beloved nation. Over the past few decades, illegals have torn apart our society. President Trump started to build the wall and dramatically lowered the numbers, but the Biden-Harris administration removed all enforcement, opened the border wide, and turned the border patrol into a welcome committee.
Most legal immigrants want to experience the freedom and opportunity that our constitutional republic offers. They want to assimilate to be Americans, not to tear down our country; to make our country like the regimes they left behind. They offer skills useful to our society.
Among the millions of illegals, there are plenty who are willing to work and assimilate, however, they are driving down wages for Americans.
But too many illegals come hating our country and culture. Many others may be foreign soldiers from enemy countries, sent to infiltrate America and commit sabotage and hacking, spread propaganda, spying, and other tactical operations to divide Americans and destroy us from within.
Enemy nations like Venezuela are emptying their prisons and insane asylums and sending those inmates to commit terrible crimes here. It’s a hostile invasion that also includes drug cartel members, and child and adult sex slavery traffickers.
A great many illegals may be here in part or only for the wealth of benefits the Biden-Harris administration awards each illegal. They get a free phone, cash, and a flight or bus to anywhere they want in America.
They may be housed in nice hotels near the border, and if they burned their IDs to hide their real criminal or military identity, Biden and Harris can give them official papers with their invented name. How many illegals will be on your next flight? They fly for free–what did you pay?
Meanwhile homeless veterans are sleeping on our streets and have to beg for money.
This is why President Trump promises to deport the illegal aliens and restore a sealed border and a safe America.
HOW TO DEPORT MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
President Trump has promised to deport millions of illegals if reelected. Let’s look at how this could be done.
In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower successfully deported over a million illegals. This operation serves as a starting point for the necessary elements, and would be revised with modern technology and logistics to conduct the deportation in a humane and rapid manner. Eisenhower’s experience dispels the media lies that it’s impossible to deport them.
Since Joe Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris took office, at least 12 MILLION known illegals crossed the border, plus many millions more that were never spotted or intercepted. That’s an average of 400 illegals crossing a minute. Every minute, every hour, and every day, the tidal wave continues. This rate might double or triple if Kamala Harris wins the election.
On Day One, President Trump should sign an executive order to establish a temporary deportation agency, using emergency funding and authorizations. They would harness all existing authority to conduct the deportation operation, and seek any additional authorities needed from Congress.
The agency would create a database of illegals, and use law enforcement resources to identify and trace current addresses for each. Work with state investigative agencies to help locate illegals, and cut fed funding for states that refuse to cooperate.
They would also consult with commercial transportation companies to develop the logistics needed to repatriate the illegals, and consult with military and commercial companies for temporary housing pending deportation.
The highest priority must be given to identifying known criminals; those who are a threat to public safety, and military-age men from enemy countries. They must be identified, arrested and deported as soon as possible. To hold criminal illegals pending deportation, it may be necessary to build new prisons or reopen closed ones, as well as construct temporary relocation centers for non-criminal illegals (other than the crime of border-crossing). Priority must also be given to those who were allowed to enter without any identification—which is how many criminals and enemy soldiers can enter and get a new, false, identity.
Why would countries accept back their citizens? President Trump is no stranger to creating powerful incentives in negotiations. Some may include the powerful threat of tariffs (which Trump used to get Mexico to effectively close the border), denying US visas to their nationals, instituting visa requirements if none exist, suspend foreign aid, institute sanctions, seize bank funds for government and leader bank funds, and deny work permits to their nationals.
There will be countries who absolutely refuse to take back their citizens. These include all the tyrannies, which may require long-duration imprisonment for those deemed dangerous.
On Day One, a legal team must be ready to fight the inevitable lawfare by Democrat operatives, who will try anything to halt deportation of their illegal voters. They will file lawsuits in leftist courts to get injunctions that halt deportations. Appeals up to the Supreme Court must be prepared. The Left’s violent mobs will try to burn our cities in protest—and must be arrested. The media will make the deportations seem heartless and cruel.
Self Deportation
While many illegals want to work (and take American’s jobs), millions more are here for the bountiful benefits, and if cut off, many may return to their countries on their own. These magnet benefits include generous cash payments, free housing, healthcare, schooling, transportation. In New York City, an illegal family of 5 gets a Visa card with $5,000 every month, and many even got Vespa-like scooters. They get put up in luxury hotels. They get free food and medical care. Meanwhile, homeless veterans get nothing. To encourage self-deportation, President Trump will need to end all possible federal benefits to illegals. They have no right to our Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, welfare, housing, etc. A one-time payment of perhaps $5,000 upon departure could incentivize many to voluntarily move back home. Trump can force states to cut off the bountiful benefits the illegals get at the penalty of losing federal funds. This will be easier with a Republican House and Senate, but some progress can be done by executive orders and emergency actions.
You can help! Homeland Security has a reporting page, with phone number and online report form:
“Immigration violations include criminal acts, visa violations, or public safety threats. Call 1-866-347-2423, the ICE Homeland Security Investigations Tip Line, to report an immigration violation. Or report online using the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE Tip Form.”
Many of the above elements of a successful deportation operation can be accomplished with executive orders, existing laws, and using emergency powers. Some will require Congressional authorization and appropriation, which underscores the importance of electing a solid conservative majority in the House and Senate.
Assimilation Pause
Following years of unlimited illegal immigration, it’s necessary to call a halt. For the next decade or longer, all immigration must be dramatically reduced to allow existing immigrants to assimilate—to become American. Only the most qualified and most thoroughly-investigated immigrants would be allowed in.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If President Trump is reelected, he can deport the illegals and finish building the wall. Trump will make America safe again.
