Open border advocates and their clients, illegal aliens, are shaking with fear of what will happen on President-elect Donald Trump's first day in office.
President Trump will almost certainly begin reversing President Joe Biden's myriad illegal orders to open the border on day one.
Texas has also vowed to help the 47th president keep his word, as some local governments have vowed to wage legal war, riot or insurrection if Trump orders mass deportations. Land Secretary Dawn Buckingham said the state will set aside at least 1,400 acres of land for federal detention and deportation facilities.
In response to the first land offer, Buckingham said 13 million acres of land were set aside in the Lone Star State for President Trump, who promised “the largest deportation operation in American history.” Ta.
what will trump do
Left-wing Politico has compiled a list of what President Trump is likely to do in his first 100 days in office.
Deportations will increase, but whatever the “logistical problems” of deporting millions of illegal aliens and Mr. “Priority will be given to those who have received a deportation order.”
Of course, Politico found the usual suspects, who claim it's next to impossible to even deport rapists, murderers, and other criminals.
According to the pro-immigrant American Immigration Council, about 1.19 million people will receive such orders in 2022. That means their case went through immigration court and a judge decided they had to leave. Just removing people in that category can take years.
John Sandweg, who served as ICE's acting director from 2013 to 2014, said finding, detaining and removing these people will require significant resources. Detention capacity alone will be costly and a pressing challenge. Lawmakers would need to appropriate the funds, and even if they did, the administration would need to hire, vet, and train more police officers, which is no easy feat.
ICE currently employs 7,000 people and conducts 250,000 deportations annually, according to the agency. If the Trump administration wants to quadruple that number, as Trump has promised, training schools will not be able to accommodate the large number of new hires.
“It's just a resource game, but it's a difficult game to play,” Sandweg said.
Trump plans to end Biden's illegal program to import 360,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans each year. “As of August, approximately 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans have traveled to the United States through this program and been granted permission to live and work in the United States for two years,” the website reported. Ta. Biden flew penniless vagrants directly into the country.
President Trump also pledged to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, the website continued.
“All of this will end very quickly, almost immediately,” Dan Stein of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) told the website.
The good news is that Stein's group and others are likely providing talent to the incoming administration. When Trump was elected in 2016, he told the website, “They basically hired half the staff.”
Also under consideration are the “Guidelines for Enforcement of Civilian Immigration Laws'' announced by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on September 30, 2021.
With that illegal order, Mayorkas unilaterally rewrote the country's immigration laws. He stopped the deportation of illegal aliens simply for crossing the border, and even stopped the deportation of dangerous criminal illegal aliens based on convictions.
Article 1 of the House's impeachment against Mayorkas noted that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled that Mayorkas had created “a general policy so extreme that it amounted to…an abdication of statutory responsibility.” The court ruled that this policy supersedes “legislative obligations of Congress” and is “extralegal,[and]clearly outside the scope of the authority granted by the INA.”
President Trump plans to end an illegal smartphone app called CBP One Mobile. This will allow would-be illegal immigrants to apply for entry from the comfort of their own homes.
President Trump is likely to reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, which prevents illegal immigrants from crossing the border while courts hear their asylum claims. As The New American has repeatedly reported, 90 percent of asylum claims are false, and so-called asylum seekers come to the United States in search of work and free goods. A UCLA study found that 99 percent of asylum claims are false.
Texas is ready to help
The good thing is that while two mayors are pledging insurrection and rioting to stop mass deportations, the state of Texas will support the president's law enforcement.
Secretary of Land Buckingham said in a letter to Trump on Nov. 19 that he welcomes federal access to 1,400 acres of land in Starr County, which borders Mexico.
“As Texas Land Commissioner, I recently acquired this 1,402-acre ranch along the border near Rio Grande City,” Buckingham wrote.
Within 24 hours of the purchase on October 23, 2024, I granted a 7,681-foot (1.45-mile) long easement over the entire property to allow construction of the Texas border wall. The previous owners had refused to build a wall and actively prevented law enforcement from accessing the property. For a time, her actions enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse immigrant women and children on this land.
Buckingham later told the Texas Tribune that more than 10 million acres of land were available for Trump's deportation operation.
“We have 13 million acres of land in the state, and if there's anything that meets the needs of the federal government, we'd like to see it utilized,” Buckingham said.
The new project is called “Jocelyn's Initiative,” after Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl who police say was killed by two Venezuelan men who were in the country illegally. Jocelyn's mother and grandmother, Alexis and Jackie, also joined Buckingham on Tuesday when Jocelyn proposed to President Trump that a deportation facility be built on the 1,402-acre ranch where the state is currently building a border wall. The initiative was announced at a press conference held at
Two illegal immigrants charged with Nungarai's brutal murder were arrested at the southwest border and released.
Other Americans are not so loyal.
Mayor Mike Johnston of Denver, Colorado, vowed to mobilize the city's police force and “50,000 residents” to stop federal immigration authorities from deporting people who entered the country illegally. Michael O'Connor, the mayor of Frederick, Maryland, said the city would use tax dollars to hire lawyers for illegal aliens to prevent deportation. So does Anne Arundel County Executive Stuart Pittman.
It is a federal felony to harbor illegal aliens.
Under a strict interpretation of federal law, Johnston is alleging insurrection and insurrection.
