But we're not talking about that. He's going to 'repatriate' millions. From here:
"On Day 1 of my new administration, I will seal the border, stop the invasion of people pouring through our border and send Joe Biden's illegal aliens back home where they belong,"
To do so, the former president said he would use local law enforcement and the National Guard to find such migrants living across the U.S. He also hasn't ruled out building detention camps on U.S. soil or activating the military as part of the effort.
There are about 11 million unauthorized migrants living in the U.S., according to the most recent
estimates from the Department of Homeland Security. The overwhelming majority of the population (79%) have been in the country since before 2010, DHS found -- though the report contains numbers through 2022, before the
historic influx in border crossings.
Data from the immigration advocacy group FWD.us
found that 22 million people in the U.S. live in a mixed-status household where at least one undocumented person lives with U.S. citizens, green card holders or other lawful residents.
Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. "That it's almost impossible to spot an unauthorized worker in the mixed communities that we have and that it takes a lot of personnel resources even to execute a warrant against a single person."
"So given all those constraints, people will soon understand that's easier said than done," Chishti said. "It's clearly used for political purposes and we may not hear it again after the election."
Let's be honest. I'll say again that he hasn't given any thought whatsoever as to how this could possibly be done. He's just telling you what you want to hear - just like he does with the economy. And you just suck it up. And repeat it. With no idea of what it entails.
This isn't a policy. This is just a lie that he tells you simply because you want to hear it. Just like 'lock her up' and 'build that wall'. You're being taken for a ride.
