A group of conservatives aligned with President Donald Trump is pushing him to aggressively expand immigration enforcement as his administration signals a shift to less deportation rhetoric ahead of the midterm elections, Axios reported.
The Mass Deportation Coalition, a group of immigration law and policy experts, former senior and rank-and-file law enforcement officials, advocates, and supporters that launched in February, last week released a playbook to fulfill the largest deportation push in U.S. history.
“Our basic goal of the mass deportation coalition is to actually provide Trump with what we call kind of a right flank, saying, 'No, Mr. President, you're listening to the wrong people,'" Morgan told Axios.***
"If Trump had said what industry wanted [on the campaign trail], 'I'm going to keep the illegals here so you can have cheap labor,' he would not be in the White House," Howell, a former Homeland Security official in Trump's first term, told Axios.
"He'd be in a prison cell right now. The president has only gotten pressure in his face to tone down the enforcement," he added.
"The truth is the first year was not a year of mass deportation. A conscious decision was made to go after the worst first, which was — we'll call it — a deviation from the central campaign promise of mass deportations."

The aforesaid coalition is calling for the Trump administration to now turn its attention to mass deportations of all illegals.

It took awhile to get into this immigration problem and will take time to work it out.
Keep working on the problems first.
I voted for that.

Realistically, the US has long had a “strong and steady stream” of illegal aliens, based on an unspoken number each year that can be assimilated. Nobody will cite what that number is, and for many years it was almost exclusively Irish and Mexican.
It was a system that worked for years until leftists decided to open the flood gates, and to far less desirable immigrants. Much of the chaos was caused by Sen. Teddy Kennedy.
In any event, the system is now way out of balance. But when it gets closer to the integration point, a LOT of inertia will suddenly materialize as a wall to stop deportations.
Don’t expect this to get a lot of attention, because those pushing for it prefer to stay hidden and work behind the scenes.
