To confused Europeans out there, understand our two party system in a nutshell gave voters “a choice”, as in THE choice: Deport all or none of them\n\n[The following paragraph is relevant to the theme of black and white politics, it is not meant to be a backhand jab at Europe]\n\nIt’s like with NATO: Continue the same 1946esc policy of bankrolling [mind you nothing to Marshal Plan era scale anymore] it or leave altogether\nNo option to just half military budget

We don't need to deport them. Just make it where any company or business found employing them is immediately shuttered and the management imprisoned. The company assets are then sold off at auction to pay fir the employees deportation. Same for housing like apartments, condos, etc.\n\nMedical care refused for all illegals except kids 16 and under. Same for schools. No high school education for illegal kids. (Kids shouldn't be punished for their parents actions)\n\nFinally, stop giving citizenship to kids born in the US unless at least one parent is a legal US citizen. \n\nRefuse to issue marriage licenses unless one is legal as well.

They won’t deport to countries of origin. They will just shuttle them all across the USA-Mexico border. That will get send a message to the Mexican government to stop enabling this nonsense

Deport them

The key to addressing these issues isn’t for the government to simply 'deport' illegals; it’s to make life in the host country so dependent on legal status that it becomes nearly impossible for an illegal immigrant to prosper or live a normal life. What we see now is the opposite—some states don’t even require proof of legal residency to issue a driver’s license. When services like healthcare, education, and more are offered without any checks, why would anyone bother complying? A parallel society forms, where people learn to bypass hurdles with the help of others already entrenched in the system. The same applies to sending money back to their home countries.\n\nIf you impose harsh penalties—not just fines—on those who hire illegals, you’ll deter locals from exploiting their cheap labor. This would naturally lead to many illegals 'deporting' themselves in search of countries where they can blend in more easily. Furthermore, there’s a 'support system' that guides illegals on how to navigate life in the U.S. as undocumented residents, which should also be addressed. But instead, Democrats often seem to do everything possible to favor their presence, especially in certain cities.

Did I understood right when trump said he'd deport immigrants and familly ??? If this is the case she won't find any magas out there ????

For context obama deported 3 million, the president has the right to deport people because they broke the law, concerning cost do you know how much it costs the US to house, fly and hold illegal immigrants?

It’s not legal to deport people who entered illegally?

That would be a lot of people to deport.

If you can’t even say deport the criminals you’re delusional and a threat to our country

He won't deport. He'll jail for slave labor

The administration won’t deport every illegal immigrant, it won’t even come close. They’ll go after criminals and it will ramp up border security to slow the influx of new immigrants and allow the country to absorb the current immigrants

I can’t believe people actually think that Trump will deport more than 20 million people, when that’s literally practically impossible considering how many immigrants aren’t willing to leave and the ones that are scattered across huge areas. The realistic conclusion is he deports most illegal immigrants in big cities which would be about 3 to 5 million over 4 years

Can't they like deport the immigrants who committed various crimes and enact stricter border security and prevent immigrants from entering the country after he takes over rather than mass deportation.

Complete BS that it would cost $300b to deport illegal immigrants, that makes absolutely no sense. You arrest them and deport them, that doesn't cost billions. You know what cost billions, $150b+ annually to be exact? To have those illegals in the country because they're a massive drain on taxpayers. The fact that democrat cities wants to defend illegal immigrants that has no right being in the country and also have been charged with crimes is disgusting.\n\nTrump should ship a million of them to the rich areas in LA and SF.

Ok I have a question. Right now the unemployment rate is 4.1%, if 12M illegal immigrants get deported, who largely work in food processing, constructions, and healthcare support, who is going to take those jobs? We have 7M unemployed and if we deport 12M, that's 5M jobs at a minimum that will no longer be filled. You think food costs a lot now, what happens to the cost of food without them? Or the cost of building new housing, it certainly won't go down? Or the cost of taking care of granny in the old folks home, is she coming home to the family to provide round the clock care?

1. Prevet illegal entering of people \n2. Deport people who entered or are inthe country illegally \n3. Call law abiding US citizens to work the fields and construction jobs\n4. Dont pay pennies on the dollar to foreign companies ' imports. Make them pay their employees as if ther were in the US, as well as the companies that work for those companies, so there's no 3rd world abuse of lower wages\n5. Keep up the perverse game of money

What’s controversial? They entered the US illegally, the US has the right to deport illegals, people who enters the US legally will be ok.

$300 billion to deport all illegal immigrants? That's a budget buster on par with Trump's Tax-Cut-For-The-Rich. Good luck with that.

I really don't see why this is controversial. You HAVE to moderate immigration regardless of your own political leaning, and to do this you need to deport anyone who slips through the cracks. Make immigrating legally take less time and be less complicated, this is how you encourage legal immigration while also discouraging illegal immigration.

Deport them all the people demand it

They were able to build shelters to receive inmigrants they can be able to build shelters to deport them.

Large amounts of people are here double dipping in social programs while being paid under the table.\n\nWhy are any social programs paid by tax dollars going to non citizens in the first place?\n\nIf they cut access to those programs many will simply self deport.

If trumo wants to play it smart deport the criminals and those 1.3M already on the deportation list \n\nThrn hire more staff to process the claims of the remaining 11M deporting those who fail and goving citizenship to those who succed \n\nIts a weak policy but one that will shine a good light on him without rinos stopping his policy plans

They said they will be pragmatic with the approach. They will deport those criminals that crosses the border first and see what goes on from there

it's not controversial if you deport criminals who illegally invaded your country.....

Trump doesn’t have to invent a mass deportation strategy. He can copy the last president to deport over 3 million illegal immigrants- Barack Obama.

So its basically sonething of an National Registrar for Citizens programme in India. \n\nContext - It all began in Northeast India, a tegion which has been neglected by the Indian government for quite a long time. The region is populated by Hindus speaking Assamese (in Assam), Bengali (in Tripura) & Meitei (in Manipur), with a large significant population of Tibeto-Burmese tribal populations following either Christianity, their own folk religions or integrated with Hindus & a minority of Bengali Muslims (mostly in Assam). This area was conquered by the British in 1820s, & with the British came a lot of non-native peoples (mostly Bengali speaking people), thereby making the noatives absolutely hate their presence. Following the Partition of India, many Bengali Hindus fleeing persecution migrated to Northeast India, fuelling further unrest. Over time, a large number of Bengali Muslims from what is now Bangladesh illegally migrated into the Northeast & integrated themselves with the local Muslim population (settled by the British), thereby changing the regional demographics based on religion. In the 1980s the increasing number of Bengali Muslims in the Northeast Indian state of Assam sparked an insurrection, which was put down after the Indian government promised to identify & deport illegal immigrants. Similar rebellions also broke out in other states of Northeast India by the tribal population against the rise in numbers of Bengali Hindus seeking shelter from religious persecution by Muslims in Bangladesh. However, very little progress was made in identifying illegal immigrants in Northeast India. After 2011 census revealed that Muslims outnumbered Hindus in Assam (but the combined Hindu-tribal populated outnumbered Muslims), talks began about setting a registrar & tribunal to speed up the process of identifying & deporting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This picked up pace after the Hindu nationalist BJP party came to power in the union government in 2014 & in Assam's state government in 2016. Around 2018, the Assam government started the National Register of Citizens to register the names of all people of the state provided that they can show proof of their/their parents being present in the state before 1971, inabilty to do so would cause to stand trial before a Foreigners' Tribunal to prove their citizenship or face deportation. This exercise was fraught with allegations of xenophobia, with Bengali Hindus, Gorkhas (settled by the British from Nepal to serve in the army) & Austro-Asiatic tribals (settled by the British to work as labourers in tea gardens) being branded as illegal infiltrators alongside Bengali Muslims. Those who were unable to prove their citizenship ended up rounded in detention centres, eventually to be deported out, which at that time many in Europe & USA had compared with Nazi concentration camps. \nIt would be interesting to see whether this same Nazi analogy is drawn up in case of the Trump administration doing the same as what happened in India.

Trumps deportation plan will cost the US billions if not trillions of dollars to deport illegal immigrants.\nMore people are needed to speed up the immigration processing.

I am definitely ok on cracking down illegal immigration and there should be criminal charges for employers that employ these migrant workers with slave wages. However with that being said to deport almost 20 million people that make up more than 50% agricultural workers in the country is a logistical nightmare. Once these migrants go these jobs will need to be filled presumably by Americans that command higher wages. I mean if Trump said he wanted to bring cost of groceries down this might not turn into a good plan.

deport

how can wanting to deport *undocumented* migrants only be hardline? slight of hand

I want him to deport so many illegals that I never have to press 1 for English again!

Wait till the day when they deport her

This is what American vote for him deport every single one.

Why is it controversial? Isnt it logical to deport someone who enter your country illegally ?

First of all you can create high gaurded district for illegal immigrants and force them to work and make enough money and then deport them or make citizens

Despite his rhetoric Trump cannot legally mass deport. In fact immigration judges not the President have the final say on who can and cannot be deported as immigration related cases must go through the courts per the US Constitution.

Wont cost much to deport 1 million people if you dont actually care who you deport and what condition they would end up in

So they can't afford to spend $20bn to deport 1 million illegal immigrants from the US. So why can they afford to send $200bn in tax money to Ukraine's war with Russia?. \nDouble standard anyone.

He should Deport only those that have been involved in crimes and leave those that are just working to make their lives better

lol I wonder how much it'll cost to deport 11 million people, with all that it implies.

Deport Musk and Trump :)

DEPORT THY NEIGHBOUR

How about we deport the MAGA crowd to Epstein Island?

I bet at first they'll only deport criminals, which nobody disagrees with obviously, and then after getting good publicity and approval, they'll start deporting just regular undocumented people, but overall I don't even understand how it can be possible because their economy depends on illegal immigrant's work as they pay them a lower wage, and aside from that its never been done before, people don't realize how massive of a project it is to deport millions of people

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

She doesn’t realize. The Trump Admin may very well deport her too! They briefly eluded to going after naturalized citizens too. Aside from that, to support deporting your family after 20 years in bananas ?‍♂️

I hope he does deport. Tired of it. we can't go to their country.

Lets go after naturalized citizenship ? These dirty people voted for us White Folks to DEPORT THEM ALL! LETS GET BUSY TRUMp AND DEPORT ALL BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE!!!
