What will it take to deport the 20 million illegal aliens allowed into the United States by the Biden administration? According to Tom Gantert at The Daily Signal, Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, gave the following numbers in an op-ed published Monday in Fox News: “12,000 more agents, 4,000 more attorneys, 1,000 more judges, and 1,000 more support staff” and funding on a “historic scale.”
“Americans need our leaders to act with
the urgency that this moment demands. The safety and security of Americans must
be placed first,” Roberts wrote. “The number one priority for Congress right
now must be to ensure that every illegal alien who has invaded our country is
detained and deported or leaves quickly on their own accord.”
Tom
Homan and ICE agents, supported by Marines and other military offices as well
as other federal agents have already deported several thousand illegal aliens
in the first week of the second Trump term. The Air Force is assisting in
removing them by hauling them out in cargo planes. However, with 20 million
illegal aliens to remove from the United States, a few thousand are just a drop
in the bucket.
Roberts wants Congress to “act swiftly in allocating funds for the “largest deportation operation in American history.” He recognized that the budget reconciliation process is a good way to deliver quick results. He “even advocated a new law requiring money transfer services to demand proof of legal status or face a 50% tax on any outgoing transfers.” Such money could be used to fund “enhanced deportation operations.
Another sure way to cut down on the number of people
entering the United States illegally is to “prevent aliens from accessing
America’s welfare benefits.” He accused Republicans in Congress as loving “to
beat the drum for border security and mass deportation” when it brought in
money on the campaign trail. Now, they need to put America and Americans first.
In a Monday appearance on “The Will Cain Podcast,” Roberts shared an
experience when he was chided for using the word invasion to describe the
hordes of people crossing into the United States illegally. He did not mince
words in showing how he felt about it.
“Somehow, we can’t
call a spade a spade,” Roberts said. “All of these Americans in these thousands
of communities that have been upended by these illegal aliens, some of
them committing horrific murders … that
somehow, we have to be careful about what we call them and we can’t call it an
invasion because it “quote-unquote degrades language.”
Roberts said Trump’s
genius was calling it like it is.
“Ultimately, what we
have arrived at, as Trump said a week ago today … is a revolution of common
sense,” Roberts said.
