Migrants commit fewer crimes proportionately than the native population, though foreign suspects have been named in a few high-profile cases of violent attacks on women and children, infuriating Republicans.

Ok, only infuriating Republicans? Really? Why not explain at least some of the details of these high-profile cases? Forgot to mention it, didn't you deem the information necessary?

On June 16, 2024, Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old American girl, was killed in North Houston, Texas. The case attracted national attention, as two illegal immigrants from Venezuela were charged with her murder.

Looks like we are going to be in for a long 4 years at the JT desk.

That’s great, a real border czar this time.

Violent crime, which spiked under Trump, has fallen in every year of President Joe Biden's administration.

One of the biggest lies of the the election campaign and here in this comment section at the time.

after ABC News called Trump a liar, the FBI quietly “revised” their crime data- crime was UP.

Selective outrage. Perhaps you forgot that multiple Saudi students were arrested for everything from vehicular manslaughter to rape and murder, and all were whisked out of the country by their embassy before trial. Senators from Oregon to Iowa demanded action from the Trump White House only to get crickets.

has pledged to launch -- on day one of his presidency -- the largest deportation operation of undocumented immigrants in US history

When you pledge this and still win in a country as diverse as the US it only means one thing.

Yes 'folks', it will be Trump Forever from many years to come.

Btw all persons who came across the border illegally committed a crime. Automatically they became criminals. Get the worst out first, but work to remove them all. Remove all incentive for others to illegally invade the US.

Not sure why so many Americans want to defend illegal immigrants. No other country would tolerate illegals in their country.

The 78-year-old Republican tycoon has pledged to launch -- on day one of his presidency -- the largest deportation operation of undocumented immigrants in US history.

Former police officer to 'tycoon', what a trajectory, MAGA pays.

Appointed by Obama too.

Violent crime, which spiked under Trump, has fallen in every year of President Joe Biden's administration.

Deny that through the usually unsourced and don't let that get in the way of MAGA rhetoric though.

Good choice

Appointed by Obama too.

then what’s the problem?

he has given people ample notification and time to pack and has announced no families will be broken up.

they can simply be deported together as a family unit.

If the country of origin is unknown because of the lack of papers where will they be deported to? Deported by planes and the receiving countries need to agree to accept them. It will be a very expensive operation.

And Homan is a leading contributor to Project 2025.

MAGA Trump: But oh no, we know nothing about that, we categorically reject it.

If they refuse to say where their country of origin is, they can go to Gitmo until they “remember”?

such a person is an obvious threat to national security and hiding something nefarious.

we aren’t playing games any more. People might just want to accept reality and go back home on their own.

he wildly exaggerated local tensions and misled his audiences about immigration statistics and policy.

Trump the king of fraud knows his audience well, and knows how easy it is to mislead them. He knows most only read far right media, and media billionaires like Musk and Murdoch who simplify and slant stories for their readers.. But the democratic principles of the republic have run their course and now the US and world are left to deal with what remains of US systems after the Trump cartel seizes more power and wealth for themselves. As if Musk needs anything more, which country will Musk end up supporting? , China, Russia or will he stay in the US hoping for more multimillion dollar federal contracts? The robber barons have re-emerged as the clear power in the US, will they call the Pinkertons to machine gun down workers like the earlier robber barons did?

they can simply be deported together as a family unit.

Given they will be detained in makeshift camps prior to that, that should make for a good image. And families will be broken up because some families have legal members. Also liberal cities and states will extract another pound of flesh.

That will be up to the Supreme Court and the US military to decide. Also not cheap.

we aren’t playing games any more.

Neither are the federal and state governments and courts you think will just be wished away.

This time it would probably be drones and Tesla Optimus bots.

Homan will use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to declare unionizers as Marxist enemy combatants and revoke their citizenship .

Gitmo can hold 10 million then.

It could be cheaper to offer a "payment" for people to leave plus free air tickets.

Trump vowed to tackle migrant gangs using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 -- which allows the federal government to round up and deport foreigners belonging to enemy countries

In this case, which nations are the "enemy countries?" Im not sure, but is Mexico officially an enemy of the US? Haiti? Venezuela? Is it necessary to declare them "enemy nations" before the Act is enforced?

And families will be broken up because some families have legal members. 

the legal members can choose to live in the country of the illegal members if they so desire.

are those Obama cages still around somewhere?

I think illegals should be highly encouraged to leave on their own to avoid such detention camps.

I am OK with the article and the announcing of the "Czar".

But the article forgot an important description of the 47th Presindent of the US, where it says "...The 78-year-old Republican tycoon has pledged to launch...", it should say:

"...The 78-year-old Republican tycoon and convicted felon, has pledged to launch..."

We have to be accurate when describing the Presindent of the US, specially if it is the FIRST time in History

Excellent news. Meanwhile in Britain, we carry on welcoming them in and putting them up in five-star hotels.
