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.

But I sure thought it... *Blush*

Bull$shit headline by the Guardian.

Gingrich is only talking about migrants who are here legally.

This is meant to sow division in Conservative ranks.

Remember, this is the far left Guardian.

I don’t think your idea will work and I suspect it isn’t legal. The deportees need to be returned to their jurisdictional countries only, any other countries will refuse to take them. We have to send them back to their own countries.

In less than seven days, Trump needs to send off a letter:

Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations:

I, Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, on behalf of the United States, do denounce the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as permitted by Article 44.

Donald J. Trump

The Refugee Convention, the invaders’ red carpet, must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.

It takes a year after receipt for the denunciation to become effective.

We absolutely don't have to send these invaders back to their own country. We can send them to any country that's unleashed invaders here. RICO them all.

They have no standing in our courts. They're invaders.

Be sure that “Legally’ does NOT include ANY of the invaders Slo Joe allowed in.
Regardless of where they came from or how they got here.
Even if they were flown in by him, just fly them OUT.
Sometimes I think maybe ALL the invaders shuld go to Haiti.
Haiti needs some DIVERSITY.

“We have to send them back to their own countries.”

I tend to think that will be necessary. They can be dumped in calm international waters each with a $100 bill in their hand.

Fishing boats will fish their countrymen and their $100 bills out of the water.

My neighbors in Michigan were illegals and were able to buy the house next door through a Carolina bank under their false names. They were deported. When I offered full price for the house, the bank wouldn’t accept my offer without full cash in the bank. A bank letter didn’t help. Never heard of such. They wouldn’t sell to me if I had to finance it. Deportation on day one.

Gingrich’s words, not The Guardian’s:

“I just think there’s a very small faction of the party that’s rabid about this.”

Who is Gingrich calling RABID?

Gingrich is most certainly NOT talking about legal “migrants.” (I think you mean “immigrants.”) Dreamers are NOT legally here.

Just like Musk and Ramaswamy championing H-1b, the establishment is working overtime to undercut the promise of mass deportations “on day one.”

I’ll flame.

Importing criminals - No job.

People complaining about the immigration rules - No job.

Adhering to Gingrich sputum - No job.

Accomodating Schumer amd McConnell sputum - No job.

It’s not his call.

And besides, if mothers with children can make the trip here, they can take the trip back.

I don’t think mass deportations are likely, but I expect steps to be taken to stop the flow and to drag out the bad and to encourage the lazy to reform or depart.

A great journey begins with a single step.

I expect Trump to do the practical. Cutting off the cash is possible.

You can’t open a bank account without an ID.

Every time I vote Florida checks that my ID is valid. Banks can do the same.

I’m sorry, Congress frozen all accounts. I need to see and verify your ID to unlock your account.

I’m sorry, I can only give you $40 in bills each week. I’m sorry, you already got $40 for our competitor.

But my cartel wants $100 a week in cash or they’ll kill me.

Would you like to put Transfer on Death on your account?

I’ll need the valid ID and taxpayer ID of the person who’ll get the account.

Perhaps they’ll understand and take the $40 you already got.
