President-elect Trump confirmed today that he intends to use the military in his roundup and deportation of illegals in the United States. Breitbart News has reported that a conservative activist posted on the Truth Social social media site that Trump is “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.” To which, Trump replied, “True!”
Although “official” estimates of the total number of illegals in the US seem to have been stuck on “11 million” for decades, the deportation is estimated to impact perhaps 20 million families. In campaign speeches, Trump has typically quoted “20 million” as having arrived during the Biden administration alone. The fact is, considering the haphazard open-borders policy Biden and the Department of Homeland Security have followed, plus the always-uncertain number of “got-aways,” no one has more than a rough idea of the actual numbers. Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan has expressed the hope that many will self-deport. For the others, he has promised:
I got a message to the millions of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden’s released in our country: You better start packing now.
Stay tuned. America’s number one issue is likely to get interesting.
