The bulk of illegal immigrants would be eligible for deportation under President Trump's executive orders, not just those who went on to commit additional crimes, according to a new expert analysis.
Overall, more than 11 million of the estimated 13 million-14 million illegals in the United States come under the deportation language signed by Trump, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
In the latest post on the CIS page, Ronald W. Mortensen, a retired career U.S. Foreign Service Office, highlighted three key provisions in Executive Order 13768 that prioritize illegal immigrants for removal. They are:
— Those who "have committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense." He said that includes entering the U.S. illegally and not through an official border crossing zone.

— Those who have committed fraud "before a governmental agency." That would sweep most of those who claim to pay Social Security from their paychecks. He said that paying the tax would require the immigrants to receive a number fraudulently.
— Those who have "abused any program related to receipt of public benefits," such as welfare or federal food assistance.
Mortensen cited estimations from the Los Angeles Times that over 11 million would be covered by the executive order.
"The advocates for illegal aliens apparently never thought that the federal government would hold illegal aliens accountable for their crimes, otherwise why would they have highlighted their criminal activities in an attempt to show that they are law abiding citizens? For example, those supporting illegal aliens have insisted for years that they obey the tax laws, as demonstrated by the fact that they pay Social Security (payroll taxes) on income they have unlawfully earned. Of course, the only way the vast majority of illegal aliens can pay payroll taxes is by using fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers, and in many cases, the stolen identities of American citizens. These actions are felonies," said the CIS analysis.
If only true. With 30-60 million illegal aliens, that’s 22.5M to as many as 45 million illegal aliens! Fantastic!
If we deport 75% of illegals, that would bring us down to about “11 million” still here.
OK, then.
Let’s open up the FEMA Camps and start processing illegals.
This blatant lie needs to be finally shown for what it is. There are 25+ million at least. My guess is more if you include illegals, visa overstays, illegitimate sponsorships (shams) and the like.
They should all be deported. They are all criminals. The first law they broke was to come here illegally. Why does no one understand that?!?!?!?
Don’t let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out.
It’s a good start to an inaccurate 14M estimate.
What about those who come here on tourist or other non employment visas and work illegally. What will we do to get rid of them also?
If I cross the border into Peru, I am a criminal and treated as such. Same with Mexico. Same with every nation on the planet.
Why is the USA expected to have laws no other nation on earth has?
Mr. President, cut off the damned welfare.
Cut.
It.
Off.
Anything less than 100% is FAILURE!
Every agency and organization which has counseled and assisted illegals to break US law should be charged and brought before a court of justice. They are still supporting illegals to evade the law.
I have always maintained, as is only rational, that stealing Social Security numbers is a criminal offense.
It is for everyone else. Why would it not be for illegals?
