Will Republican Congress Fund Removable of 20,000 Illegal Aliens?

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.

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.
