Are we the people so jaded by politicians that we are surprised when they keep their word? Over the past few weeks, a plethora of Americans have been appalled with the President for deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records. Mainstream media outlets are now speculating as to how far the deportations will go. It should be obvious. Before the 45th President’s Inauguration, he announced his plans to deport two to three million illegal immigrants with criminal records. The time has now come.
The genuine shock regarding the President’s actions indicates a deep seated issue in American politics. Halting illegal immigration was the central theme of Donald Trump’s campaign. Some people erroneously believed his rhetoric was crafted for show. Americans are so used to duplicitous politicians that it is the new status quo, but now President Trump is setting a new existing state of affairs.

My biggest concern with Trump is his focus on keeping his literal word, where his promises fell short of my dreams. I am a bit worried that he plans to deport only 2-3 million illegals (or at least those on the list who don’t self-deport). With 11 million or more total illegals, I am well aware that he has never said he would try to get rid of most of them.
Perhaps he plans to deport 2-3 million and then work on some of the remainder, but I don’t think he ever gave his word on going beyond the first couple million. I’ll take what we can get, of course. Hopefully, they will audit the polls to see which illegals ever voted - a criminal act.
Even with “only” 2-3 million illegals gone, and Obamacare repealed, and stifling regulations revoked, and government shrinking, and conservative judges/justices, that is a HUGE win for America. I’ll take it!
Deporting only those with criminal records is not enough.
Illegal aliens should not be given the opportunity to harm or kill Americans before they are removed.
ALL illegal aliens are subject to removal.
Focusing initially on the criminals is smart, but any additional illegal aliens encountered should also be detained and removed.
