Will Trump deport 10+ million undocumented immigrants?

How many will be deported?


  • Total voters
    20
I voted 5. Mostly because everyone's just trying to have broke Christmas and have to hear about migrants doing more horrible things than we can imagine.

Trump border czar privately tempers Republican lawmaker expectations on administration’s initial deportation operation

 


It's about initial numbers with current funding, not what the target is

“Homan has been telling some of the members that ‘Hey, if you want me to do all these things that you’re talking about, this costs money, and it’s not being done with the CR that’s in place now,” one GOP lawmaker told CNN, referring to the continuing budget resolution that simply extends the current level of DHS funding.

“President Trump will enlist every federal power and coordinate with state authorities to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families. The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail, like deporting migrant criminals and restoring our economic greatness. He will deliver,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance transition team told CNN in a statement.

Another GOP lawmaker whose committee oversees the Department of Homeland Security budget told CNN that Homan is trying to work as fast as the confines of the system allow.

“His message is not code talk for, ‘Nothing is going to happen’ or, ‘We’re going to slow down’ or whatever. But it is a responsible policy approach to getting stuff done quickly, but also in the context of realistic evaluation of how to best get that done and fulfill the promises that the incoming administration has made,” GOP Rep. Mark Amodei told CNN.
“He says, ‘I understand the complications. Work through them. Make it happen. I want it done yesterday,’” Higgins said of Trump’s mindset.
 
5 mil, but spare the chicas and hijos. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water....
 
Trump's first deportation flights with average of just 80 migrants cost up to $852,000 per trip

Using that cost estimate for military transport w/o aerial refueling, my back of the envelop estimates for deporting each million undocumented immigrants comes out to $10.65 billion. The flight range of a C-17 is roughly 2,400 nautical miles, so we may need to include the costs of air refueling if Mexico continues to refuse to allow C-17's to land and refuel on the way to destinations in Central and South America. Typically when you fly US military aircraft in a foreign nation's airspace, you're required to get diplomatic clearance from that nation - and it's not clear that Mexico is even allowing overflights at the moment, so they'd have to be flying outside that airspace (over international waters).
 
It's not about deporting them all. Most will self deport if you take amnesty, chain migration, and birthright citizenship completely off the table. Millions are counting on amnesty, and the ICE deportation campaign will wake them up to realize amnesty will never happen.

I'll pay twice that.

If a beloved family member needed radical cancer surgery to survive, would you be quibbling about price?

Wait until you see the reparation/repatriation bill for the blacks.
