While this is not intended as criticism of Trump, deportations to date have been insufficient.
The total for President Trump’s first year? 250,000. At that pace, we will only deport 2 million in President Trump’s 8 year term, unless ICE can increase their efficiency. I’m not sure that will even keep up with the influx. This “most horrific administration anyone could imagine” is too mild by a factor of 10 to match my imagination.
Yes, there are 30-60 million illegal aliens in the US. That means something like 55,000 per day to clean up our cities over the next three years or 24,000 if Trump earns a second term. 250,000 in a year won’t cut it. Not even remotely close. Mandatory eVerify for temp/perm full/part-time workers will likely clear half out pretty quick. End birthright citizenship and chain migration will help further. How about a law that says if you are deported or given deportation orders, you will be barred from every immigrating to the US. Give them 180 days to leave, then be subject to permanent bar. We need action, not lip service, token deportations.
