The Department of Homeland Security announced this month that 1.9 million immigrants who were illegally living in the country have voluntarily departed between January and mid-December.
An additional 600,000 illegal immigrants, most of whom have criminal histories in the U.S., have been deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The self-deportations figure would suggest that the Trump administration has found a way to convince those unlawfully present in the country to leave on their own accord rather than expend costly government resources to find, detain, and remove the “millions and millions” of people that President Donald Trump vowed to round up and deport during his Inauguration speech.
“There’s zero intent to create public fear,” Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks told the Washington Examiner in March. “The intent is to send a clear message to anyone who wants to come to the country illegally: ‘Do not come.’ If you come to this country illegally, you’re going to be apprehended, you’re going to be prosecuted, and you’re going to be removed. That’s the message we’re sending out.”

A good start.
The illegals who used to live nextdoor left about 6 weeks ago. They’d been there since at least 2018.
They had absolutely trashed the unit they lived in and the
landlord is having to completely renovated it before he can either rent it or sell it.

Since this apartment complex has gotten new management, they are letting 3rd worlders in daily to fill up the vacant apartments, and just as fast, those of us who have been here for years are despirately searching for a new place to go to. Thankfully, I will be moving in the middle of January (I was already on a waitlist for a different apt complex for almost a year..).
It took me 2 months after moving in to eradicate cockroaches and fruitflies from this area of apartments (I lays down boric acid). It has been roach free.. or had been, until a new next door neighbor moved in about 2 months ago.
I am getting overwhelmed with roaches and stench now. Their friends (also 3rd worlders) who live directly above them started a bicycle theft ring here, parking the bikes directly in front of my apartment, sometimes 8 at a time, and making them frankenbikes (swapping the bike parts to make them harder to claim) after repainting them (frame outlines all over the pavement in front of apartment now..).
I had complained to the new resident manager, which is my next door neighbor on the other side.. nothing done (he is one of them).
I complained to the new management company, along with 24 hours of video (they start frankenbiking them about 2am, and finish about 10:30pm .. I suspect meth is involved), and nothing was done.
I finally called the family that owns this complex, after the one I call greybeard (the one directly above my neighbor) brought an outboard motor from a boat, used a walker to set it up, and a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket to start working on it and running it about 5 feet from my front door (and we live in a gated community)... Immediately after I sent the owner the message, I had taken a picture and was in the process of sending it, when the owner asked if I had a picture. Perfect timing.
Next day, someone came from the management company and told them to cut it out.
(They were back at it over the weekend)... but the resident managers wife finally went out there and put up a sign warning them that if they park any bikes in the gated area, they would be removed. There is a designated parking area for bikes right outside the gated area.)
OH... they are still secretly using the groundskeeper’s storage space to hide their stolen bicycle parts.. hiding them behind all of the normal equipment.
(All on my security camera, since it is directly in front of my apartment.)
I can’t get out of here quick enough.
Plus the half million that have been deported and 70K in detention pending deportation so 2.57 million outgoing and zero incoming.
That’s a solid win.
There are many that are trying to wait it out till the mid-terms in hopes of a Trump impeachment or other neutering of the administration.
It’s up to us to deliver more MAGA to Congress to support Trump.
A crap ton more will self deport if we win the midterms, especially if we win good and hard.
Deportation will really ramp up if SCOTUS finally stops the district court interference or if the new Congress neuters the courts by removing all immigration from their jurisdiction.
I can dream...
1.9 million supposedly left on their own. 28 million left. I cannot thing of a single employer prosecuted for hiring illegals, even when nearly their whole workforce is illegals.
No interdicting their ability to send money out of the country. Congress hasn’t lifted a finger on the topic. Not one....
But they are leaving.
I believe, I believe... I believe.
The Department of Homeland Security announced this month that 1.9 million immigrants who were illegally living in the country have voluntarily departed between January and mid-December. I wonder who was in command when they got here..a lot
I predict a lot of Somalis leaving very soon.
Trump was right. They’re not sending their best.
You're dreaming all right. The Slave Party and mediots are out in front with fake polls to be "confirmed" by fake ballot counts. Unless we get Venezuela's voting machine hacking in full view, it won't matter how anybody votes.
Try getting MAGA turnout in that environment. People will stay home out of a sense of self-preservation having a legitimate fear the ballots aren't secret.
I'd have the military watching every penny in and out of that country right now doing whatever is possible to choke the life out of that kleptocracy. Maduro has to go.
And Biden worked so hard to get them here.
Or - help legal competitive USA businesses sue the illegal employers.
Unfortunately, Trump is never going to do that, or, stop H1B employers.
Half a loaf - I am afraid - but, still 10 times better than no loaf at all.
A good start, another 30 million to go to get rid of the dreck that Biden brought in
From upthread
Trump Administration to Begin SEIZING All Remittances Sent Abroad By Illegal Aliens
Almost 2 million is a good start.
Shouldn’t rent and housing costs be coming down with 2.5 million less occupiers?
As more illegals go back to where they came from - more housing will be freed up for Americans.
1.9 million illegals have self deported? Why didn’t they say 4 million or a larger number? It’s likely all BS and they can’t prove it anyway. It’s just a feel good article.
Explain why they need to colonize the United States for any reason other than to loot.
