Deportation of illegal aliens

[Mick1]

I don’t think Trump will make families of illegal aliens a priority. My suspicion is that he will go after the following, in order:

1. Violent felons who have committed crimes in the USA.
2. Violent felons who committed crimes in their home countries.
3. Non-violent felons who committed crimes in the USA.
4. Non-violent felons who committed crimes in their home countries.
5. Criminals who have committed multiple misdemeanor crimes.
6. About 660,000 are under so-called “immigration supervision” either because they have been convicted of crimes or are facing charges.
7. Individuals who have been issued final deportation orders. This is 1.5 million people.
8. Illegal immigrants who represent health risks.
9. Illegal immigrants from countries with whom we have negative relationships (Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, various middle eastern countries, Venezuela, etc.)
10. Chronically unemployed illegal aliens and those with no visible means of economic support.
11. Those who arrived in 2024
12. Those who arrived in 2023
13. Those who arrived in 2022.

In 2023, the U. S. repatriated 1.1 million people. Through August of 2024, the total was 526k. So about 2.16 million will receive priority, then unhealthy people, then enemies, then the unemployed…in short, people who don’t contribute to the economy. Then, relatively recent arrivals.

In summary, I don’t think the U. S. will prioritize deporting families of illegal aliens or those who have been here for many years.

BTW, and just to be clear, Donald Trump as President never deported more than 350,000 aliens in a single year.

Favorite quote from this article: ” it was a rude awakening to realize that you and your family are not welcome.” Really? And what country on this planet desires immigrants, destablizing the current population?  There is not a single country that wants additional population. Such arrogance.

Interesting she has legal status but decided to move anyway? Wonder how long it took the AP to find her.  No mention that she is not in the demographic Trump wants to deport.

So she went to Ireland, and the entry process was easy peasy.  Ireland had 141K immigrants last year, and all time high.  The US averaged 183K ILLEGAL immigrants a month since Biden’s election.  If our immigration system was not overburdened with processing illegals, it wouldn’t take years to gain legal status.

I don’t believe our immigration system is broken, only the enforcement of immigration law.  I also don’t buy the argument we don’t want immigrants.  We want and need immigrants that are here legally and contribute rather than consume resources.  We are tired of stories about illegals housed in $350/night hotels, the take over of school gymnasiums, special public school classes… the list goes on.

Oh well, it won’t be long before we will start seeing stories about families being deported.  If they are here illegally, I will applaud each one.

Completely and totally agree, and in fact, I would be fine if they doubled the H1-B visa limit (currently 65,000 annually) and H1B advanced degree exception (currently 20,000) annually. That’s been the cap since 2004. It was 195k for the three  years prior to that, and 115k for the three years prior to that. Before that, it was 65k total. I’d be fine with that. I’m not fine with the 2mm+ who present a danger and the many multiple millions who are here and don’t deserve to be.
