The arrests of hundreds of immigrants last week marked the first large-scale raid under the Trump administration ...

Not true. Immigrants do not get raided or deported... illegal aliens do, there is a HUGE difference. Immigrants are people that went through the immigration process, this is not difficult for normal people to understand.

680 deportations is a teeny tiny number.

My hope is as they are being deported that ALL monies and or services they were getting from state and federal governments is also stopped. AS WELL AS any others in their families or households being checked out and cut off or deported as well - whomever is illegal needs to go, and stop the financial bleeding of our country.

Soon after the election I argued that Trump will deport 5 million illegals in his first year. I still think that is the case.

I certainly hope so.
We have 30 million + illegal aliens here.
Once it is clear we are going to enforce the laws, illegal aliens need to be advised that deportation results in a 10 year ban on proper re-entry.
Many can be encouraged to leave on their own if we cut off employment and benefits.

“targeted enforcement operations”

---

The MSM acts like targeting is wrong.

The MSM makes up their own quotes about banning all Muslims, and ignores that we are targeting the extremists. They scream how dare we pick on the countries in which the terrorist are active. The specific countries targeted by their supreme leader, Obama.

Trump promised targeted deportations. The targeting is aimed at the criminal illegal aliens, that have come across our border. It is targeted at those who have already committed crimes against us. But the MSM screams, how dare he target anyone.

The MSM is already beating the drums and chanting that these criminals have served their time, deserve another chance, and that it should be here in the country they entered illegally.

How soon will it be that they will start calling us "Criminalphobias", Alienphobias", or "Immigratphobias". It is straight out of Alinsky's book. They will accusing us of unreasonable fear of those doing violence against us.

All those convicted of a felony should be deported first. That's targeting. Get the illegal criminal aliens out of our country. These individuals revealed exactly what they were when they committed their crimes.

Seal the border against all illegal entry.

IN context, the travel ban is only is small part of the big picture. It is no wonder The Prez is not that worried about it. Anyone who comes in can be taken right back out.

Keep the raids going. We can't possibly get even a majority of the illegals that way but keep the raids going and keep the publicity going. Make them inconvenient. Don't allow targets to gather up any possessions. Deport them publicly with all the loud rancor the MSM and the Democrats can come up with. Go through a couple of neighborhood where many illegals live and are known and clean them out in one operation. Make it uncomfortable for the catchees. At a certain point which just may be now the stream of border jumpers will reverse and self-deportation will be a solid phenomenon. We do not have to catch them all and bundle them out of the country, just make them feel sore beset.
