Trump’s sweeping deportation threat is unworkable and aimed at ‘rabid’ Republicans, says Newt Gingrich

Former US House speaker says documented people, Dreamers, mothers and children must not be deported

Newt Gingrich, the former US House speaker and presidential hopeful, said a section of his own Republican party was “rabid” over immigration and predicted Donald Trump’s suggestion that he could deport documented people as well as millions of undocumented people will not come to pass.

“I’d be very surprised if you see any significant effort to change the game for people who are here legally,” Gingrich said, weeks before Trump’s return to the White House. “I just think there’s a very small faction of the party that’s rabid about this.”

He also warned that public support for mass deportations would “collapse” if stories began to come out “about mothers or babies or children being deported”.

The president-elect may not welcome Gingrich’s intervention. After all, Trump won last year’s election promising mass deportations involving the armed forces and detention camps.

Stephen Miller told Fox News last month that Trump would issue a series of executive orders on the first day to " begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Between Gingrich and Musk and Ramaswamy it sure seems like Miller's assurance is meeting a lot of pushback. January 21 should be very interesting.

If Trump does not deliver on his election promises to those of us who have been there for him since he descended the elevator in 2015, we will stay home in 2026.

Do what you said you would do, and don't start introducing exceptions.

My next door neighbors are probably illegals. I wonder if they are worried?

Nice enough people but I wish they’d go back to Mexico.

People think Trump doesn’t know that republicans are his worst enemies. Thats not correct.

It was Newt who was cozying up to Nancy on the sofa

Not DJ Trump. Not Stephen Miller

I remember when Nute actively knee-capped TEA Party candidates on behalf of his pet RINOs.

Probably easier to massively enforce E-verify and require able-bodied recipients of federal welfare dollars to work. Then offer $5,000 and free transportation home to anyone who wants to leave.

Cut off the money and freebies. Arrest employers. Tax remittances to Central and Siuth America and China at 100%. They’ll leave.

Just turn off their EBT cards and cut off all their freebies.

They’ll know what to do.

Easier? That sounds more complicated than mass deportations.

My expectation is that Trump may manage 50% of all the people waved through between 2021 and 2024. And these will be almost all single men.

The first will be men under arrest/detention, followed by people with criminal charges. If THAT works, against what may become fanatical legal/political opposition, in the US and “receiving countries”, then other single men.

Trump is going to implement Ike’s Operation Wetback except it’ll be on a grand scale. Many will self deported like they did in the 50s.

The other day, Gingrich was praising Paul Ryan’s Speakership, but, I won’t say all of his opinions are wrong, but that one and this one sure are!
