Self deportation is the key to Trump's plan. When the money dries up and the benefits dry up, America won't look so attractive to illegal immigrants and they will head back to where they came from. This will be less of a drain on the budget than physically deporting them.
If the American people see progress being made, they won't rebel at the ballot box in 2026. They will remember what it was like in 2024 and before.
First I know people in ICE on the border who confirm the reports. The influx has completely stopped. So Trump has done the most critical thing which is stabilize the situation
Second Homan & co are absolutely deporting criminals and doing so very publicly. There's a reason for that which is that they want the other illegals, especially the criminal ones, to self deport because that's a lot cheaper than paying people to go rounding them up.
So I consider this to be part of the plan. Given that they've cut the funding for the shelters and so on I expect a lot of those who are living on the dole to figure the era of free money and food is over and so self-deport.
Once that process is under way then they can go after the employed illegals. And of course the DOGE raid on the SSA is key to this because they'll be able to find the SSN abusers, track the employers and start fining them. Once the first meat packing firm gets a fine of thousands of dollars per illegal worker that they never ran a verification check on you can expect the rest to swiftly fall in line and fire all their illegals (and/or those illegals will decide to not turn up on their own accord).
I think there's a deliberate intent to take this slowly because it incents illegals to self-deport and incents companies to stop employing them which gives more of them the incentive to self-deport.
Probably in a few months they'll start ramping up the process. Hopefully by then they'll just need to round up the stragglers but if not then a mass round up in some sanctuary city will send the message to all the other sanctuary cities and the illegals in them and they'll start leaving in larger numbers
Okay, back to sanity for a moment. The US government, whether under Trump or anybody else, does not have the ability to physically snatch and deport 20 (or 30, or whatever) illegal aliens.
What we *probably* have the ability to do is identify them and make sure that they get no benefits whatsoever from their illegal status. No jobs (enforce Real ID with felony penalties per violation and massive fines, as well as personal managerial responsibility for violations imposed on employers who violate it). No state-sanctioned ID cards, drivers licenses, etc. No IRS issued "Tax ID numbers." (If it's illegal for you to work, what do you need a tax ID for?) No government payments whatsoever. No education privileges. No birthright citizenship. No shipping money back home, wherever that might be. No Social Security cards or accounts or numbers. (That's already in the pipeline).
Enforce immigration law. Illegals are subject to immediate deportation. End long, drawn-out appeals and other administrative/quasi-legal delaying tactics.
Make all that work, and 90% of current illegals will be on the next boat, plane, horse, or backtrail out.
Dealing with the remaining two or three million illegals will be a far different kettle of fish than we are looking at right now. Further, most of their malignant and corrosive influenct on our politics, culture, and economy will be reduced to manageable levels.
Hey hey! Just saw another Executive Order was signed that cuts off ALL taxpayer funded benefits to ALL illegal aliens across ALL federal agencies. Looks like any funding to cities housing them has been shut off too. Even the most stupid of them have to be understanding the new message- Get Out. Dropping the whole anchor baby scam can't happen soon enough, once that teat dries up there won't be much left for them. And if ICE were to start raiding employers and prosecuting them....
Yes & make a few examples out of these scumbag employers fine them.out of existance. Go after the owners & jail them for at lleast ten years for the bs scamming so far they have gotten away with, completely bankrupt them & leave their families with nothing.
i think many do not see the big picture. Statements like these lend me to this thought.
"By all means, cut off the funding for NGOs like Jewish Family Service that aid illegals in getting here, crossing the border, manipulating the system to claim “asylum” and then disappearing into the interior of the country."
What about the catholics, the lutherans etc.? All of them and so many others have increased their 'earnings' by the taxpayer funded slush funds. Not just the jews by a long shot! Or lets look even deeper to discover why Yah Himself would allow or borders and gates to be breached in the First place!
Great opinion piece, thanks for posting. President Trump‘s campaign commitment to secure the border and deport millions of illegals is at the top of his agenda. But there are many other agenda items he wants to see passed by Congress as one big bill as soon as possible. At a minimum, this big bill should include funding to support securing the border/mass deportation, extending Trump tax cuts, no tax on tips, reducing federal spending, voter ID for all federal elections, keeping men out of women’s sports, and codifying Trump‘s executive actions into law.
Agreed. But he did nullify birthright citizenship. Check! Homan is steadily working on his directive, be sure. There is a no need for Trump to play it up.
An amendment would be the most air tight. But the “subject to it’s jurisdiction” clause is pretty damning. These justices know why that amendment was added, circa Civil War.
Well said. Deportations should be ongoing, massive, relentless. Get the illegals out of here!!!
Well said again

I like the the way all that sounds, it's a plausible plan, lets just hope the courts can't hold the whole show up.

The remaning employers will comply.
Let's see a daily or weekly tally to gauge effectiveness.

I get very angry when i hear
"They do the jobs americans won't do"
Agreed. But he did nullify birthright citizenship. Check! Homan is steadily working on his directive, be sure. There is a no need for Trump to play it up.
I will probably take a scotus decision or congressional action to codify that. Let's hope it doesn't take an amendment.

We’re tired of being taken advantage of.
