The self deports will increase when they go after employers and remittances

Til then just emptying the pool with a teaspoon

That’s 600,000 a year if they can keep it up. This doesn’t include the self deporters I assume.

50K arrests are good, 50K deportations would be even better.

20M+ in....3M out

Wake me when they get serious: eliminating the illegal/unconst. welfare state; arresting/prosecuting GOVT employees for aid/abet/harboring+; laying down YUGE fines/per for hiring+ illegals

(R)N(C) hasn’t done squat since SCOTUS’ bovine scat ruling vs. 14th A. either (terminate any/all immigration/amnesty, let alone a new Amendment to strip that out of the 14th)

Thats a decent amount, but still doesn’t come close to undoing the damage caused by Biden and Obama...600K per year, for 4 years, is only 2.4M - probably about 10% of what is needed to get back to where we should be.

A friend who is now a citizen took his visa to the Quincy, Florida DMV to get a driver’s license. At the end the handed him a license and a voter ID. He was registered as a Democrat.

Exactly - ICE/DOJ needs to go after the companies that are hiring these people - and not with fines that are just a ‘cost of doing business’ - flagrant violations should get min 10 year prison sentences for the CEOs...then it will stop.

Why the negative comments? The fact is we are doing something about it. Could take 10 years. We just don’t have the resources to do 5 million a year. Chill out, watch the show and know that this could very well have been 10 million illegal entries with Kamala as President.

“Why the negative comments?”

…agreed. Especially the Kamala part. Before the election I was convinced we were goners in regard to illegals. Now they’re being captured, running scared and self deporting. Imagine if all city mayors, governors and local police were helping.

These are just words. Affordability problem can’t improve until illegals are removed in mass.

I notice they no longer hide out because they no longer worry like they did at first.

The pressure was let out of the cooker last year and it has cooled off.

“..but still doesn’t come close to undoing the damage caused by Biden and Obama..”

Fabulous so far, but will add the real criminals AKA the Uniparty in Congress and the deep state over the decades. They are the ones who kept the borders open as long as we’ve been alive.

The amount of kickbacks must be unfathomable. From countless millions of illegals to the countless tons of drugs being slowed down is a beautiful thing.
