The finer details behind Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of illegal immigrants are starting to emerge.
In a report published Sunday evening, Axios outlined how Trump plans to use the power of the state to forcibly deport millions of people with no legal right to be in the United States.
The outlet noted:
Donald Trump's plan to crack down on immigration includes using a range of tools to deport millions of people in the U.S. each year — from obscure laws to military funds to law enforcement officers from all levels of government.
History tells us such an effort would dramatically disrupt local communities and economies across the U.S. — and sow fear among the millions of people without legal status.
A source told Axios that Trump plans on realizing this by mobilizing numerous agencies, including ICE, FBI, DEA, federal prosecutors, the National Guard, and state law enforcement:
Fast-track deportations — now reserved for recent crossers encountered near the border — would be expanded to apply to anyone who illegally crossed the border and couldn't prove they'd been living in the U.S. for more than two years.
Trump would curtail the usual multistep deportation process by using an obscure section of the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts to immediately round up and deport some migrants with criminal histories. The military would build massive sites near the border to hold people awaiting deportation.
Among Trump's other targets will reportedly include sponsors of unaccompanied minors who crossed the border without their parents:
The government releases migrant children to these sponsors, who typically are the children's relatives — some without legal status. Hundreds of thousands of people also have been admitted into the U.S. under Biden's use of "parole," a program guaranteeing protection for two years. Trump's plan could target those with expiring protection for quick deportation.
It is currently unclear how much Trump's plan would cost. However, it would not be the first time that the U.S. has carried out such a policy. Under the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. authorities deported over one million undocumented Mexican immigrants in what was known as Operation Wetback.
The plan will inevitably be met with far greater opposition than 70 years ago, with employers, community leaders and some religious institutions expected to push back and stifle the efforts of law enforcement.
Last November, The New York Times published a similar report explaining how Trump planned to construct camps to help speed up the deportation process:
To help speed mass deportations, Mr. Trump is preparing an enormous expansion of a form of removal that does not require due process hearings. To help Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry out sweeping raids, he plans to reassign other federal agents and deputize local police officers and National Guard soldiers voluntarily contributed by Republican-run states.
To ease the strain on ICE detention facilities, Mr. Trump wants to build huge camps to detain people while their cases are processed and they await deportation flights. And to get around any refusal by Congress to appropriate the necessary funds, Mr. Trump would redirect money in the military budget, as he did in his first term to spend more on a border wall than Congress had authorized.
While such plans are undoubtedly more authoritarian in nature, many will consider them a necessary evil in order to restore a sense of credibility and fairness to America's immigration system. The policy would also help save the billions of dollars spent by both local and federal governments on accommodating illegal aliens every year.
According to some estimates more than 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the country illegally since Joe Biden took office in 2021, many of whom have criminal records and links to organized crime.
ah, now I get your connection! I just had to follow the thread of your posts
carry on!
Cutting off the tax payer funded giveaways and implementing the transfer taxes would go a long way to curtailing illegal immigration.
But, we have to remember both political parties want illegals for two different reasons.
The dims want them for voters...the reps want them for cheap labor to satisfy the chamber of commerce.
And if a dim were to do that we'd go ape.
Axios sounds down-right TERRIFIED of this happening! Wonder why THAT is?
Oh, that’s right - they’re a bunch of triggered Never-Trumpers!
How many of the Axios staff has taken in illegals? How many WORK for them? Asking for a friend. ;)
Right?
I was already all in on Trump, they didn’t have to work to convince me.

“A source”...........attributing what you write to “a source” makes what you write “your opinion”. Most likely NOBODY is interested in “your opinion”. I’m not.
sounds great!
to cover bases in the meantime,Trump should give an EO to the IRS to not allow write offs or labor cost deductions for any employer or landlord who doesn’t include proof of citizenship with tax filings of employees and tenants....
#MAGA
That is more than enough "fairness".
Meanwhile we can recoup some of the money wasted on migras by returning them to Mexico one at a time, with sponsorship, wagering, etc. Look at all that big beautiful branding space. Put up some lights and The Big Repatriation Fling Thing can go 24/7.
Absolutely. But the only way to deliver that message at the street level, to 3rd wavers who don't speak English, is to snooker the MSM into showing the yuge tent kampfs along the Texas border, the mega buses loaded with migras returning to Mexico, the planes loaded with deportees, and video of the happy reunions of the mojados with their families in Caca-Caracas.
Invite Univision, Telemundo, CNN Espanol, just rub their face in it.
'You all weren't invited, you have been found wanting, your mendicancy is your home country's problem, and now you must return where you belong, and do not ever try to enter this country again'.
Many woke D.A.'s, police departments, military and intelligence services will resist this -- yet they're the ones who will be expected to do the deporting.
Without massive support from the population, this won't work. And vast numbers of people will resist, with Antifa leading the riots and chaos.
I will drive the bus if they need volunteers.
I will drive the bus if they need volunteers.
Yes...
Eisenhower had “Operation Wetback”.
Went after the employers too.
Flip them off
It means they've lost faith that this coming election can be stolen as easily as the last and that the droves of non-white voters they've been lying to for decades are finally realizing who the real slave-masters are.
Have faith and hope, flying mammal. But always be prepared for the worst.
Tip of the hat to you

Assuredly a lot less than supporting these people, or dealing with their crimes here. Being a great businessman, Trump will earn an enormous return on this investment.
Important question. Does the country already have the funds budgeted to transport illegals to these concentration camps, provide food and minimal shelter, and then pay to transport them to other countries by land, sea, or air? If the funding needs to be voted by Congress, that is a whole different ball of wax.
