On Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump declared that he will not “do business” with any country that refuses to take back all of the illegal aliens who have come to America from that country.
As the New York Post reports, President-elect Trump’s declaration was one of many things that he said in his lengthy interview with Time magazine after the outlet declared him to be 2024’s “Man of the Year.”
“I’ll get them into every country, or we won’t do business with those countries,” said the president-elect. “I want them out, and the countries have got to take them back, and if they don’t take them back, we won’t do business with those countries, and we will tariff those countries very substantially.”
“When they send products in, they will have substantial tariffs, and it’s going to make it very hard for them to do business with us,” he added.
As in 2016, President Trump campaigned heavily on the issue of mass immigration, vowing on the campaign trail to finish building the southern border wall that he started in his first term, and to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history. To this end, he announced former ICE Director Tom Homan from the first administration as his new “Border Czar.”
President-elect Trump has suggested a wide variety of tactics for convincing third-world countries to accept the illegals that are deported back to them, including tariffs and sanctions. The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has already agreed to enforce immigration laws within Mexico to try to prevent any further illegal caravans from crossing through her country on their way to the United States.
“Whatever it takes to get them out. I don’t care,” President-elect Trump continued. “Honestly, whatever it takes to get them out. Again, I’ll do it absolutely within the confines of the law, but if it needs new camps, but I hope we’re not going to need too many because I want to get them out, and I don’t want them sitting in camp for the next 20 years.”
Time’s 2024 “Person of the Year” edition marks the second time that President Trump has won the award, following his first electoral victory in 2016. He was also consistently listed among the runner-ups for the award in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, thus marking six consecutive times that he was either a runner-up or the winner of the award, a longer streak than anyone else in the 97-year history of the publication’s award.
i agree
also a good idea. Pay the corrupt goverment of haiti to take all these refugees. They actually might improve the place, slightly and they would no longer be on US soil. Better yet, dump them in Rwanda / central Africa.
**Tariffs won’t budge the Haitian government, when it has one again.**
Use the Dominican Republic as a getting off point. They won’t stick around too long.
**China won’t take them unless they have passports showing
that they are Chinese citizens.**
Would Taiwan be an option? A different language? I’d give Viet Nam the $4 billion Kissinger promised. They’ll take them and kick them out too.
Give money to ElSalvador to build another maximum security prison so they can take on the gang-bangers.
Also, demand that Attorney General of the affected countries prosecute the instigating NGO organizations for fraud.
I don’t think it would have a negative effect on our economy if there were to be certain countries that received complete moratoriums on their people being allowed into the US, Haiti being one of those countries.
Sure, there will be handwringing, whining, finger-pointing, and accusations of xenophobia and hate, but so what else is new from the Left? Haiti routinely blames us (and every other country that’s ever been there) for all of their problems so why the heck do they want to come here for anything except to get on the Free Stuff Gravy Train? Keep ‘em out.
Peach
Has Trump said anything about doing away with ALL bennies for the freeloader criminals they are currently receiving?
Yes, but let's use it as leverage for a while first.
Those who have entered the US through Mexico, should be returned to Mexico. Let Mexico then decide what to do with them.
Similarly, those who entered through Canada should be returned to Canada.
The American People should not be expected to pay the cost, financial and otherwise, of deporting these criminals.
Let the nations responsible for allowing them to enter the USA deal with them.
yes mexico must be punished for encouraging the invasion of our nation
The illegals can be dropped in international waters with a $100 bill in hand. The drops can be announced and fishermen will fish them out.
—
The only thing commercial fishermen will fish out is the 100 dollar bill. They have no room or any way to care for passengers.
Do a “holding” contract with a 3rd party country. Any criminal who will not ID his origin or any country who will not accept — send to 3rd party for holding.
Forever.
Except China is the only producer of a ton of things.
While Obamabiden tries to dismantle the big, beautiful wall, President Trump is dismantling their big, ugly theft of our nation.
Drop them off in international waters and tell them to swim to China.
I would add we force the Clinton Foundation, Biden Family, Majorkas estate, and Obama estate to pay for all the illegals.
haiti is easy, just boat them close enough to swim in and push them overboard.
That is if they refuse to take them back.
“Whatever it takes to get them out. I don’t care. I don’t want them sitting in camps for the next 20 years.”
they won’t be. the next democrat president would kick them loose on day one.
“the next democrat president would kick them loose on day one.”
True that. Just like the Biden Bastard emptying the jails this week.
