The Mexican government plans to open 25 shelters to house illegal aliens expelled from the United States when President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20.
Mexico will build evacuation centers in Tijuana and Mexicali near the California border. There was one problem. Mexico does not allow “immigrants” from other countries into its shelters and has called on President Trump to deport other illegal immigrants back to their country.
Mexican officials appear to believe that Trump will carry out the “largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history,” as he promised during his campaign. In a sign that President Trump is serious, he chose Tom “Zero Tolerance” Homan, a former Border Patrol agent and top immigration official, to be his “border czar.”
No foreigners allowed
“During a meeting with reporters in Tijuana on Monday, Avila Olmeda said he was taking President-elect Donald Trump's threat of mass deportation seriously, adding that six of the shelters were set up in the city of Tijuana. , adding that the remaining two locations will be located in Mexicali, the capital of Baja,” the Border Report website explained.
“What we know is that during the campaign he was threatening to do something like this. He was already president of the United States, so this time he was going to be tougher on deportations. We believe,” she said. “We are preparing to welcome immigrants.”
But Olmeda said the facility would not be open to “immigrants” from other countries and would only house Mexicans. “No foreigners, only Mexicans, we have to make this clear. Mexicans are welcome in their homeland and their human rights will be respected,” she said.
Each facility can hold 500 “immigrants”, for a total of 12,500 people.
“Some stay with single men, while others stay with only women, unaccompanied minors, or whole families,” the website reported.
As the Associated Press reported in early December, Trump's refusal to admit foreign nationals coincides with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's call for other “immigrants” to be expelled to their home countries.
Mexico, like other countries, is not obligated to accept non-Mexican immigrants, but it has recently agreed to accept immigrants from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, among others, and these countries are Although deportation flights are often refused, there is a possibility that they will be accepted. They came from Mexico. …
Mexico clearly fears two things: large-scale deportations of Mexican citizens and large numbers of non-Mexicans being deported at border crossings that are ill-equipped to handle them.
According to the Associated Press, there are approximately 4 million Mexicans living in the United States illegally. The Mexican Consulate General is increasing its staff to deal with the steady increase in deportation cases.
The Associated Press points out that President Trump claimed in a November phone call that Mr. Sheinbaum “agreed to stop immigration through Mexico,” adding, “Providing deported Mexicans with jobs, shelter, and… The challenge of finding transportation will be an even bigger challenge for Mexico.”
But Sheinbaum said his country is “already doing its part and has no interest in closing its borders,” the Associated Press continued.
“I reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close the border, but to build bridges between governments and peoples,” Scheinbaum said at the time.
Title 42 Resurrection?
President Trump's press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, said on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures that the president could reinstate public health deportations under Section 42 of the U.S. Immigration Act.
Biden overturned those expulsions last May.
Levitt told host Maria Bartiromo that the new administration is “probably looking at Title 42. Many of these executive actions are still being reviewed by policy teams and lawyers.”
The administration is “considering legislative and administrative actions to immediately stop the surge of migrants we are seeing across our southern border. And on day one, President Trump will also begin the largest mass deportation of illegal offenders in American history.” “It's planned,” Levitt vowed.
The President will do that immediately by authorizing federal and local law enforcement to work together to identify, detain, and deport illegal criminals known to be roaming freely in our country. can.
“Emperor of the Border”
The job belongs to Homan.
He began his career as a police officer in West Carthage, New York, then worked for the Border Patrol, rising through the ranks to become executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2013. In 2017, he became acting director.
Homan faces sanctuary cities that have vowed to stop President Trump's mass deportations.
Denver, Boston and San Diego counties have all vowed to fight President Trump. Denver's far-left mayor, Mike Johnston, warned that police and 50,000 Denver residents would confront ICE agents tasked with deporting illegal aliens. Doing so would incite an insurrection or insurrection, allowing President Trump to mobilize the National Guard.
Homan has repeatedly warned officials to read federal law.
“They need to educate themselves,” he told Fox News.
they need to reconsider this. U.S. Code 1324 Title 8 III. Read about it and don't cross that line because harboring and hiding illegal aliens from ICE is a felony. Please read the statute. Don't cross that line.
Homan sent a message to undocumented immigrants from the podium at the Republican National Convention in July: “You better start packing now… because you're going home.”
Homan also warned against the drug cartels currently operating freely on both sides of the border.
“I got another message,” he said.
Another message to Mexican crime cartels. You sold enough fentanyl across this country to kill 148,000 young Americans. You have killed more Americans than all the terrorist organizations in the world combined. That's why when President Trump returns to office, he plans to designate you as a terrorist organization and wipe you from the face of the earth. That's it! That's it!
