The Response to the New Trump Administration’s Deportation Approach

Saul Alinsky, in ‘Rules for radicals” said, “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt”. I bring this up because America has endured much of this approach to politics in recent years. From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris accusing Trump of posing “many threats to America, and the right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and America’s standing in the world.” Meanwhile, they literally undermined America’s border and sovereignty, diminished the purchasing power of Americans while raking over $30 trillion worth of debt, coerced coerced companies to function in their censorship industrial complex, and tried to remove Trump from the ballot altogether.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION APPROACH TO DEPORTATIONS
And now onto our main discussion, regarding the response to the new Trump administration’s approach to deportations; and let’s begin by standardising the understanding of President Trump’s approach to deportations. In essence, it can be summarised as being two-fold: first, is the deportation of illegal migrants, which will culminate in millions of illegal migrants being jettisoned from the US. Secondly, is the focus on especially criminal illegal migrants, who have been found guilty of crimes in the US (in addition to entering the country illegally) but have likely been released through the Biden-Harris “catch and release” policy; or have never even been charged, but are wanted persons.
This is important to clarify because for the longest time the left tried to curate the narrative that Trump lied when he said he is ONLY planning on deporting illegal migrants guilty of committing crimes – but, of course, this misses the crucial context that entering a country illegally is indeed ALSO a crime. And so, the focus on deportations does place emphasis on migrants who have committed especially violent and heinous crimes (in effort to correct the ills produced by the “catch and release policy” of the Biden Harris administration), HOWEVER, the plan is the deportation of all illegal migrants.
Then, as far as enforcement of this deportation approach is concerned, we have seen numerous measures put in place. For instance, the Trump administration shuttered the use of CBP One, which was a President Joe Biden-era app meant to help process migrants seeking to apply for asylum in the US. The Department of Homeland Security issued memos to repeal limits on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents imposed by former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. And, in addition, federal officers swept into sanctuary cities on President Trump’s first full day in office, nabbing more than 300 illegal migrant criminals — including an attempted murderer and a child molester — to hold them for deportation. But, here’s president Trump discussing the policy further.
It’s a fair approach to deportations. It focuses on enforcing the laws that demand compliance with legal conditions for entering the US, it prevents family separations by deporting the entire family together, and it does not close off America to people with hopes of living in America and contributing good to the society. Furthermore, president Trump gives a crucial response to the annoying question on “deportations and migration law being difficult to implement because there are always peculiar circumstances”. He stated that irrespective of the peculiar circumstances and different cases, the US (like any country) SHOULD have laws and regulations that serve as a reference and form precedent on migration related matters. And this is not only true but also important because, firstly, strong leaders do not back out of making tough decisions because they are difficult, otherwise the status quo would never change and only worsen!
Secondly, president Trump’s response serves as a crucial refutation to Democrats and liberals who have tried to use the “difficulty and peculiar circumstances” argument to suggest that these perceived challenges become a reason for a rescission of president Trump’s approach to deportations and legal immigration. But, clearly, having and enforcing laws for legal migration in the ENTIRE NATION would benefit more people than the few that would be inconvenienced by enforcement of these laws; like in cases where one relative has legal status and does not want to be separated from the family, in which case they have the option to be deported with the rest of their family.
THE QUESTION ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO WISH TO STAY AND WORK IN AMERICA
Let’s now address another seemingly tough question that came up in the discussion between president Trump and NBC’s Kristen Welker, which is the question on what happens to illegal migrants who are desirous of staying in the United states and being part of the responsible and productive populace who contribute to the wellbeing and flourishment of the US. First, like president Trump has stated numerous times before, illegal immigration comes at a disadvantage to the people who have to wait long to enter the country because they opted to do it through the legal route – and that even includes those seeking asylum. And, primarily, this is because illegal immigration has the problem of reducing the country’s capacity to adequately measure how many more people it can allow in, thus making the process of even legal migration a challenge.
Secondly, this brings us to something Tom Homan raised regarding even workforce enforcement when it comes to legal immigration. He stated that worksite enforcement is NOT just about employing illegal aliens, which often includes exploiting them while paying them less. But, it is also tax fraud. At times, it also involves identity theft because at times illegal immigrants would use the social security numbers of US citizens. Therefore, there is a criminal aspect that people don’t understand, or try to downplay – even in circumstances where people want to in the US, while also being illegal immigrants. This is important to note because, while president Trump is desirous of keeping people with a vested interest in staying and working in America, this ALSO cannot come at the expense of law enforcement, especially when law enforcements also protects those that get trafficked and exploited due to lax workplace enforcement of immigration laws.

THE DEPORTATION OF STUDENTS WHO SYMPATHISE WITH TERRORISTS
Then, also on president Trump’s deportation approach are the campuses. Remember those foreign university students in the US who were taking down photos of the Israeli hostages and supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis? Well, president Donald Trump also authorised the deportation of non-citizens who support terrorist organisations. He stated that if a person comes to the US from another country and tries to bring Jihadism or anti-Americanism or antisemitism to campuses, they will immediately deport those persons.
DEMOCRATS HAVE SUPPORTED THE DEPORTATION CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS
So, this clarifies the Trump administration’s approach to immigration, and what it generally entails. HOWEVER, by now, you would have also seen footage of Democrats, celebrities, and migrants crying on video over the deportation of illegal immigrants in the US. And I’m not quite sure if the authors of the videos are aware, but these videos do not have the impact on society that they thought they would. At best, the videos have (firstly) aggravated people who are baffled by the willingness of liberals to pursue lax immigration and even harbour people with a vested interest in harming members of society. But secondly, the videos also expose what little grasp on immigration laws some democrats voters seem to have. In fact, you would have heard the President of Loveworld Incorporated state before, the great irony of deception is that those being deceived do not know that they are being deceived.
Remember Saul Alinsky’s words in, in ‘Rules for Radicals” when he said, “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt”.  Well, Trump’s mass deportation approach is ABSOLUTELY nothing new. In fact, the biggest deporters in recent history were democrats: Bill Clinton, for instance, deported 12 million, including those who were voluntarily removed (which are the same options that president Trump has given illegal immigrants). Obama deported 3 million people; George W. Bush deported 2 million; Hoover deported 1 to 2 million; Eisenhower had 1 to 1.3 million people deported, while president Trump’s first term amounted to a million people deported.

WHAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION AGAINST THE DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?
Therefore, the question that those who oppose Trump’s approach to deportation have not answered is: what is the justification against the deportation of immigrants who have entered the US illegally, and also who have committed crimes? And there certainly is no legal justification, besides the Biden Harris having invented laws to keep illegal immigrants while also having policies like “catch and release” which ensure that immigrants who’ve committed crimes are released back to society. However, as far as legal justification is concerned, deportations are not only legally permissible, but even deportations of children of illegal migrants do not get citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
Secondly, even on a principle or moral basis, it is difficult to make a sound argument against deportations. In particular, because there is ample proof of the harms posed to immigrants themselves through human trafficking and American citizens when there are lax immigration laws, there is a stronger moral and principle argument FOR stronger immigration laws because they guarantee the protection of people who might be victims to the ills generated by a lack of strong law enforcement. Which is the part that those criticising Trump’s deportation approach and strict immigration laws conveniently forget to talk about: they just happen not to mention the over 300 000 missing children and women like Laken Riley who were murdered by illegal immigrants – they just happen to skip over this important part of the immigration debate.
For instance, you’d recall that in 2024, Marylanders were outraged to learn that an illegal migrant and suspected gang member, who entered the US under President Biden’s open southern borders and with the support of woke leftist politicians in Annapolis was responsible for last year’s high profile murder of a Maryland mother.  And in a press conference, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler revealed an arrest was made in the murder of Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was killed while on a jog on a popular hiking trail in Harford County last August. Gahler said Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, a 23-year-old from El Salvador, was arrested on Friday at a bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and taken into custody in connection with the killing of Morin.
None of the people who object to the deportations have addressed issues such as the one we just saw. But here’s my question. Generally, in society we operate with the principle that we correct social ills and crimes, and even have institutions in place to ensure this. It is why nations have a criminal justice system that trials, and detains people who are guilty of crimes with the intent to rehabilitate them before they can ever rejoin broader society. So, if we do this with citizens in general, why should it be a cause for outcry when there are also consequences for foreign nationals who commit crimes against another nation through undermining migration laws and further committing crimes within the borders of that nation? Furthermore, this is not just a discussion about America because sensible immigration laws should be adhered to everywhere!
THE PROTESTS AGAINST DEPORTATIONS HINGE ON EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
In any case, because these crucial questions are not answered, the protests and videos of people crying have therefore, is emotional blackmail and manipulation that does not address the core facts. But, best of all is tha tpresidnet trum pand his team, are aware and prepared for these gimmicks.
Ultimately, under president Trump, strict immigration is not just about protecting the borders of the US and allowing due process to adjudicate who enters (which is essential), RATHER, we are learning more and more that those who are strict on immigration understand the price that is paid by even those from outside their respective nation.
