This video features Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin highlighting the Trump administration's efforts regarding immigration enforcement and deportation operations in Louisiana.
Key takeaways from the video:
Deportation Operations: The Secretary displays footage of deportation flights being loaded, stating that an average of six flights depart daily (0:00-1:04). He emphasizes that the administration's goal is to remove individuals who entered the country illegally, regardless of how long they have been in the U.S. (0:07-0:15, 1:11-1:18).
Workforce Support: During a visit to a facility, the Secretary discusses investments in the DHS workforce, noting the importance of providing employees with the necessary tools for vetting and processing (1:44-2:10). He credits the department's vetting processes with identifying thousands of individuals with potential security concerns (2:25-2:56).
Administrative Priorities: The Secretary reaffirms that legal immigration is a priority and encourages following the established legal system. He characterizes immigration as a "political target" but maintains that his department's role is simply to enforce laws passed by Congress (4:26-5:06, 6:10-6:30).
Personal Reflections: Towards the end, the Secretary expresses appreciation for the DHS staff, describing them as a "patriotic group of people," and shares personal sentiments about his motivation for the role and his commitment to the mission (8:33-10:23).

Mullin is a tough guy.
I voted for this.

I did too
But, yesterday I saw a piece declaring that 500 Somali’s had been deported from Minnesota so far this year.
That’s a disappointing total, pissing in the ocean. I would thought there could be at least a thousand or so.
I VOTED FOR THIS!
Exactly.
Sending these people out of the country by air doesn't seem like efficient use of resources. Many came in by train, and they should leave the same way.
And, not considering how long they have been in the country is not the best approach. Many have assimilated over generations - to the point that extracting them while leaving serious criminals at large - is just not logical. We should give more consideration to those who have contributed constructively to our society over the decades (IMHO).
If we try to rely on the most recent couple of generations of Americans to do the hard work that illegals have been doing all this time, I can assure you from my own experience that we will not like the result ("Sir, that roof replacement is going to run you $100,000.")
it’s a start
And hopefully it keeps the ones still here scared and in hiding, so they don’t do more illegal actions (like voting or opening day care centers)
I think there are two reasons illegal entries have dropped precipitously. One, of course, is border enforcement. But also, seeing the deportations discourages new illegals from arriving.
Flying them out is too costly. Caravans of busloads should drive them to the Mexican border and shoo them across. Since Mexico enabled their entry in most cases let Mexico repatriate them!
Train is more efficient than plane?
To where?
And who came in by train anyways?
“And, not considering how long they have been in the country is not the best approach.

NOPE.
They are all criminals, long stayers or short stayers.
If they are so skilled let them go build their countries.
“stating that an average of six flights depart daily (0:00-1:04” is not a start.
Its full steam ahead.
No pain no gain.

Tell that to the victim of he rapist who causes you grief because we choose to chase after laborers who've been here for 20 years rather than emphasize the violent and diseased criminals that Biden let in.
I've seen American and Mexican workers up close. The young Americans have a horrible feeling of entitlement, low work ethic, and they're more concerned with going to the bar after work (and sometimes before) than getting the job done.
Are Americans capable of competing .. sure, eventually, but in the meantime we'll be the ones paying for the $100k roofing jobs.
“I’ve seen American and Mexican workers up close. The young Americans have a horrible feeling of entitlement, low work ethic, and they’re more concerned with going to the bar after work (and sometimes before) than getting the job done.”
Joke post yes?
So tell us how did “low work ethic,” Americans create the world’s most technologically advanced most powerful nation, even as the “super men” foreign workers produced third world hell holes from which these clowns fled to America?
I was one of those American's who helped bring those very technologies into existence. Unfortunately, boomers are too old to be working roofing jobs.
And today I do know some very hard working Americans, but they're not doing physical labor. If we want to kick down one of the pillars that support our society then you'll learn very quickly. I know what I'm talking about.
What technologies did you create?
“And today I do know some very hard working Americans, but they're not doing physical labor.”
Of course they are.
” If we want to kick down one of the pillars that support our society then you'll learn very quickly. I know what I'm talking about.”
Illegals are not “supporting” any society.
Meanwhile Musk is building a massive new factory in Texas to produce millions of super smart Optimus humanoid robots to take care of most physical labor jobs.
