Trump’s Plan To Deport 11 Million Undocumented Immigrants Impossible

According to a Time cover story based on two interviews with the former president and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisors, if re-elected, one of Trump’s key concerns is immigration and the southern border. Apart from reinstating policies from his first term, such as the Remain in Mexico program for asylum seekers and Title 42 expelling migrants for health reasons without letting them apply for asylum, he will direct federal funding to resume construction of the border wall and introduce several other measures. Among all these initiatives, one particular plan Trump has merits special attention.

The Time article says, “The capstone of this program, advisers say, would be a massive deportation operation that would target millions of people. Trump made similar pledges in his first term, but says he plans to be more aggressive in a second. ‘People need to be deported,’ says Tom Homan, a top Trump adviser and former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ‘No one should be off the table,’ use the military to round up, put in camps, and deport more than 11 million undocumented immigrants.”
