ANALYSIS โ HALLELUJAH! โ As Joe Biden's radical open-door border policies allow tens of thousands of illegal migrants to flood into the country weekly, former president Donald Trump is vowing to deport many, if not most of them.
And that is one of the best things I have heard from Trump recently. This is the only way to reverse the massive foreign illegal invasion Biden has created.
While other GOP presidential candidates have talked tough on the border, so far only Trump has promised massive deportations.
There should always be exceptions, but in my estimation, most who have come here illegally under Biden must go.
Trump's comments come as the numbers of illegal aliens are again skyrocketing at the border. In the past five days alone, there have been over 45,000 migrant encounters both at the ports of entry and between them, including multiple days of over 8,000 illegal immigrant encounters.
There were reportedly around 230,000 migrant encounters in August, though the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) have not provided official figures yet.
This is unprecedented.
Blasting Biden for the โnation-wrecking catastrophe on our southern border,โย during a speech in Dubuque, Iowa Wednesday evening, Trumpย promisedย that, if elected, he would carry out โthe largest domestic deportation operation in American history.โ
โFollowing the Eisenhower Model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,โ Trump said, as reported by Fox News.
Trump alsoย said he would โimmediatelyโ invoke theย Alien Enemies Actย โ part of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 โ a federal law granting the president unilateral power to detain and deport foreign aliens in the United States who are over 14 years old.
As NBC Newsย reported, the law says a president may order non-citizens โto be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemiesโ when he or she โmakes public proclamationโ than an โinvasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation.โ
And as I have pointed out repeatedly, this current crisis certainly counts as an โinvasion or predatory incursion,โ in many ways controlled and directed by Mexican drug cartels.
Trump said he would use the Act to target suspected gang members, drug dealers and cartel members.ย
โI'llโฆinvoke immediately the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang membersโฆthe drug dealers, the cartel members from the United States, ending the scourge of illegal alien gang violence once and for all,โ Trump vowed.
Trump added: โUnder my leadership, we had the most secure border in U.S. history. Now, we have the worst border in the history of the world.โ
Of course, you can't solve the problem solely by deporting two million or more illegal migrants, especially criminals and gang members, numerous other Biden policies must also be quickly reversed.
And Trump addressed that too, in Iowa, saying that in his second term he would begin by โimmediatelyโ terminating โevery Open Borders policy of the Biden Administration.โ
At the top of his list, Trump promised to reinstate and โexpandโ the โtravel banโ that he implemented during his first term.
The ban, which Joe Biden ended on his first day in office, barred most individuals from seven countries with high terrorism indices โ including five Muslim-majority countries โ from entering the United States.
But he didn't stop there, Trump added that he would expand his travel ban to โdeny entry to all communists and Marxists to the United States.โ
โThose who join our country must love our countryโand we are going to keep foreign Christian-hating communists, Marxists, and socialists the hell out of America,โ Trump declared.
That might be trickier to do, but I like how he is thinking.
The former president also said he plans to โshift massive portions of federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement,โ including some of the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
โI will make clear that we must use any and all resources needed to stop the invasionโincluding moving thousands of troops currently stationed overseas to our OWN southern border,โย Trump said, emphasizing that โbefore we defend the borders of foreign countries, we must secure the border of our country.โ
This is the most clear and comprehensive responseย proposed to date by anyone, to counter Biden's illegal immigrant catastrophe.
