A little-known law from 1798 could be a key part of Trump’s deportation plans

SNIP
What circumstances allow the president to invoke this law?

The text of the Alien Enemies Act says it can be invoked whenever:

In other words, if the US is at war with another country, or a foreign nation or government has invaded the US or threatened to, a president can invoke the Alien Enemies Act.

SNIP

Who would be impacted?

In those circumstances, “all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government” who are at least 14 years old and haven’t become naturalized US citizens “shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.”

In other words, certain people who aren’t US citizens could be declared “alien enemies” based on their nationality. And that designation could be the basis for detaining and deporting them.

SNIP

Detentions and deportations that occur under the Alien Enemies Act do not go through the immigration court system, which provides immigrants the chance to seek relief and make their case to stay in the country.

In 1798, there were likely more aliens than citizens.

All 4 of my grandparents never became citizens.

The second world is the bigger problem. They’re egging on the third world against the USA, as they turn them into a larger second world.

My grandparents became citizens and were very proud of that. It was hard for my Grandma to learn English, but she did!

Invoking the Alien Enemies Act is a very smart move by President

Over a million violent criminals and state sponsored terrorists/ violent revolutionaries have been infiltrated into our country by Biden and the Democrats over the last 4 years

They constitute a para military invasion force and they are actively out hunting law enforcement and targeting LEOs and border patrol for assassination

The Alien Act also authorizes the US to take action against the drug cartels and Daniel Ortega’s Sandinista international terrorist infiltration network in Nicaragua

And probably. A bunch of other NGO organizations that are trafficking illegals

Cutting off funding to NGOs involved in trafficking would put a stop to new border crossers overnight because the American taxpayers are the ones funding the NGO s to bring illegals into the country

Then cut off all public assistance, welfare and free medical care to illegals

Actually enforce e- verify to prevent employers from hiring illegals

Problem solved in record time , saving American taxpayers over half a
trillion dollars a year
