Illegal migrants self-deporting as Trump’s return spurs dramatic policy shift

Even before President Donald Trump returned to office, illegal aliens were voluntarily departing the U.S. But his inauguration and the subsequent flurry of executive orders appear to have led more to make their way out of the country.

“You know, I think President Trump is doing it a lot with rhetoric and now with the executive orders trying to get things done, and people are now self deporting,” National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto said Tuesday on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show. 

“It started a couple weeks ago,” he also said. “They didn't wait till now. It started a couple weeks ago where they were saying, 'Hey, look, we know the new sheriff is in town. Let's pack up and leave Dodge.' I guess you would say.”

Trump on Monday signed a slew of executive orders to secure the border and shut down the CBP One app, which the Biden Department of Homeland Security had used to process hundreds of thousands of aliens. Video footage showed hundreds of would-be entrants to the country crying at the border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, after learning that their appointments had been canceled. One woman in particular went viral as footage showed her wailing in disappointment at the news.

Apart from shutting down the app, Trump issued an order terminating so-called “birth tourism” wherein foreigners have children within the U.S. interior to secure citizenship status. The practice presented hurdles for deporting illegal aliens who were the parents of so-called “anchor babies.” He additionally reinstated his “Remain in Mexico” policy requiring that would-be asylum seekers stay in that country while awaiting their immigration court date.

Trump has also promised mass deportations of illegal aliens and tapped former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan...

agreed- a criminal anti-american act that made this country and a ton of small peaceful towns much more dangerous to live in in my opinion- what the left did was demonic!

Our daughter married a British man and the wedding was in Salcombe, England. On the Invitations at the very bottom was the phrase : “Carriages at Midnight”.

We asked her soon to be husband what that meant and he said, “party”s over at midnight, get the hell out.” Brits are so nice at telling you to get stuffed. 😆

They had a free vacation in NYC or LA, leftist governors and mayors paid for their housing and food. They got to see Times Square.

Now its time to go home.

Sounds great but how do we verify this? Is someone counting bodies leaving?

“They had a free vacation in NYC or LA”

Free after they crossed the border but how much do they owe to the cartels?

I wonder what they are going to do with all the Chinese and other Asian women who are pregnant and sitting in apartments and townhouses in LA and Orange County on “tourist” visas?

Not too hard to cross reference visa holders and pregnancy wellness checkvisits.... if ICE, and the president were interested....

Mexico will only accept Mexican
nationals. I believe the ones
self-deporting are those that
are at the tail end of the line
waiting for their assylum hearings.
The back log is enough that it
could be as much as as a year
before their cases are heard.
I’ve also read that detention
camps (don’t know where) are
being set up to house the bad
elements until such a time as
prosecutions begin. Then those
found guilty of any serious crimes
will be sent to US jails/prisons,
or sent back to their countries
of origin. (if accepted).
At this time, ICE is only
targeting the violent criminal
element, known drug dealers,
gang members, rapists, and
murderers.
It’s going to take a lot more
than 4 years to truly clean up
the mess.

The fun begins when Red State illegal aliens start self-deporting their mixed families to Blue States and non-compliant sanctuary cities. The Blue States are going to be swamped. Blue State Dems will be screaming bloody murder.
