Donald Trump won the 2024 election with a mandate on illegal immigration. He promised to shut down the previous administration's border crisis and to oversee mass deportations that target millions of new unlawful arrivals. He has largely achieved the first part of that pledge, with illegal crossings absolutely plummeting to a mere trickle. Border Patrol agents now have so few illegal immigrants to interdict that some of them have been detailed to assist with interior enforcement actions many miles from the border. The newly-signed 'Big Beautiful Law' contains enforcement resources and provisions that will help entrench this progress in a manner that cannot simply be reversed by a future pro-illegal immigration administration. These are undeniable and significant wins and fulfillments of campaign vows. As for the mass deportations, the administration has made clear that illegal immigrants who've committed additional crimes will be prioritized for removal.
In its recent, brazen, borderline-comical attempt to spin the data, CBS News actually confirmed that the overwhelming majority of those who've been deported thus far fall into that category:
Seventy-plus percent, a super-majority, of those who've been sent out of the country have been convicted criminal aliens. Team Trump is doing precisely what they said they would do. Trump's critics in the Democratic Party and 'news' media have been scrutinizing polling for months, hoping to find nuggets to cite in service of a narrative that the administration's "overreach" is denting support for their approach. Despite some evidence of erosion here and there, the narrative is fundamentally failing. Asked which political party is more trusted to handle illegal immigration, and immigration more generally, the response is very lopsided. Voters trust the party that favors the energetic enforcement of our laws, and distrust...

Seems to me that the domestic events of the last 25 years which have caused increasingly severe disorder in society have been largely orchestrated by hard core radicals who in many cases were welcomed (and in other cases infiltrated) into various influential organizations both inside government and out.
But fortunately, the time is not yet right for a full-blown communist takeover.
Give them another generation of control, and it may become a reality.
Gee, ya think? The Dem party has gone from being “soft on crime” to explicitly, vocally, PROUDLY, PRO CRIMINAL.
That’s not gonna play in Peoria or anywhere else.
Keep it up Dims, stand for what you believe! (See tagline!)
What is the status of the border wall??

100,000 in six months. At that rate you deport 800,000 by the end of Trump term. I expect much more by then.
If only we had someone like you for President, who can just snap his/her/its fingers and magically get things done.
later
I expect more because of the Big Beautiful Bill increasing funding for ICE .
So all Trump has to do is throw some money in the air and thousands of trained ICE agents magically appear?
They are paying good money for the recruits. Many agents who had previously retired are coming back into the game. The arrests are going to go up substantially as a result.
Well, there ya are!
Unfortunately, no. Trump is working with Congress on amnesty now instead of the promised mass deportations.

Trump’s approval is under 50%.
The people are still absurdly stupid.
They fear tariffs.
70% believe that recent tariffs will ultimately cost the U.S. more money than they generate in the short term, and 62% hold the same view for the long term.
89%, believe tariffs are likely to result in higher prices for products they buy.
Apparently they believe the leftist media.
Amnesty is amnesty, pal.
With 10s and 10s of millions of illegals here, we’re wrapping up and exporting, with loads of theatrical fanfare, only the “worst of the worst”.
“Seems to me that the domestic events of the last 25 years”
While Dirty Bill was scarfing up chicks and triangulating, Hillary and her radical cronies were quietly loading the government with crazed leftists. That’s where it started, with the Clintons.
thanks
