At Least 10 Million Illegal Aliens: What Is to Be Done?

After the economy, illegal immigration ranks highest among voters’ concerns. President Trump has spoken of “mass deportations” of the more than ten million illegal aliens who have flooded our country under Biden-Harris. That’s appealing political rhetoric to the base, but he needs to build policy muscle upon the rhetorical bones.

First, the optics. We’re talking ten million people, and then some. Men, women, children, oldsters, families. Some are the “hardworking people seeking a better life,” as they claim; others are gangsters and terrorists, plus lots in between. Rounding them up and arranging transport of a population equal to Michigan will be no small feat.

Prepare for nightmarish images of armed agents descending upon “immigrant” motels and shelters; rounding up families and frog-walking them onto buses, trucks, trains, and planes; and shipping them out. We can expect horrific portrayals of “children in cages” revisited, oldsters with ailments, detention centers portrayed as internment camps, all that. Wouldn’t the anti-Trump media have a field day? Families torn apart! Lives disrupted! Local economies hit hard. And what if their nations of origin refused their re-entry? More ugly media attention.

Candidate Trump needs to present a credible plan to repatriate these people in an orderly, efficient, humane, and politically palatable way. This can be done by arranging deportations in cohorts according to immigrants’ harm and costs to our nation.

We start with the criminal elements: murderers, rapists, drunk drivers, drug-dealers, and professional shoplifters. By legal and administrative means, illegals who have been involved in criminal activity will be prioritized in “grab” lists and subject to arrest and detention. Being flight risks, they must be denied bail, then given a simple choice: be prosecuted, or be deported with the understanding that re-entry will be a mandatory five-year felony. The point is to get bad actors out…

More like 30+ million, but the older ones are probably considered un-illegal by virtue of squatters’ rights.

10 million??! There’s that many in Texas alone.

At least 50-60 million in the country.

Trump says 21 million. He’s not going to say what it really is they’ll say he’s lying. I’d start with double the 21

Find them and deport them.
The criminals will be easiest and the some of their pals will self deport.

From there?
Fines or imprisonment for those that employ non citizens.

Stop worrying about optics and give it priority.

Cut off ALL government money to any here illegally. The deportation will mostly take care of itself.

If parents are here illegally then any progeny they drop are as well.

Open up the path for private bounty hunters to round them up.

Correct. Years ago, the state of Arizona had over 1 million illegals self deport until federal thugs in black robes ruled that illegal.

President Trump needs to reenact the same self deportation policies and put them into place. However, having said this, he also needs to understand that Congress and the judiciary will never repeat ever never allow this.

So..... we pay to bring them here and now we’re gonna pay to kick them out. Doesn’t sound very efficient to me. How about those that forced these people on US pay to ship them back as I’m fairly certain they benefitted tremendously in more ways than one.

Strictly enforce 8 U.S. Code § 1324 first. Go after the NGOs and corrupt government officials. Until that is done, mass deportations are premature - like trying to bail out the boat before fixing the leak.
