Will Trump Make Good on His Threat of Mass Deportations?

The topic of discussion for this Constitution Monday concerns deportation of immigrants who entered the United States illegally. President-elect Donald Trump made serious campaign promises about mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Both Trump and his “border czar” Tom Homan claim that they will start with violent criminals, but they have no promises about stopping them.

Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” discussed Trump’s promises about mass deportations. According to an article by the Blaze TV Staff, Burguiere “believes he’ll make good on these promises – specifically regarding mass deportations.” 

“I think they’ll go pretty big,” Burguiere says. “He was re-elected largely, partially, based on his border stance and how poorly the border went under Joe Biden. And so he’s going to be, I think pretty, aggressive on this.”

And Tom Homan is only confirming Stu’s belief.

The incoming border czar told residents of Chicago this week that mass deportations would start in the Windy City, whose mayor, Brandon Johnson, has said he plans to protect illegal immigrants from federal agents.

“Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks, and your governor sucks,” Homan said, not mincing words. “If he doesn’t want to help,” he continued, singling out Johnson, “get the hell out of the way.”

“Now, the way the immigration law is set up, and this is a little confusing and at times makes things difficult, cities cannot get in the way. Brandon Johnson is a moron, and he cannot get in the way, not legally at least. What he can do is just not help,” Burguiere explains.

“If you happen to arrest someone for, let’s say theft, you could say, ‘Hey, by the way, not only do we have you on theft, but we also have you on this border violation. We’re going to send you to the authorities for that.’ They could easily participate in that type of situation, and that’s really what the Trump administration is asking for,” he continues.

“Instead, they’re just getting opposition from all over the place, even though places like New York want mass deportations to occur. New York voters want the state to support Trump deportations,” he adds, noting that a Siena College poll shows that 54% of respondents say the state should support any Trump administration efforts to deport immigrants living there illegally.

According to the poll, only 35% of respondents oppose the plan.

“I will remind you, that’s not a national poll. That’s a poll of the state of New York that voted for Kamala Harris by, I think, 12 points. So that is a remarkable thing,” Burguiere says, adding, “This is what the people want.”

Democrat mayors of several blue cities are threatening to oppose Trump’s plan to deport illegal immigrants. However, Democrat Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, met with Border Czar Homan and discussed how they could work together to clear the violent criminals out of the Big Apple. Other mayors, not yet named, have contacted Homan about their own discussions about illegal immigrants.
