(All Trump meets to do is enforce existing laws......but that ain't gonna happen.....therefore it's SHOWTIME.....with no actual results....in other words it's business as usual. But he's doing a good job of setting up a system for AOC or whoever is the next Democrat president.....as I said MAGA is DOA! - CL)
What you would do is start seriously punishing people who hire or rent to illegal immigrants. You would fully implement E-verify, to ensure people who work and rent are legal residents, then you would send ICE to round up the tens of thousands of people who are employing and renting to illegals and charging them with ten years in prison for each instance. You would then set up ICE-run “no questions asked, just sign the form and we’ll give you $1,000 in cash and put you on a bus back to Mexico or on a flight to wherever” voluntary deportation centers in every major American city and provide a hotline for the immigrants to call explaining how they can make their way out.
If they can’t legally work and they can’t legally live anywhere, all of a sudden you have an exodus. What can they do? They have to leave. Then, instead of endless videos of masked men grabbing screaming women in church parking lots and throwing them into vans, you’d have endless videos of immigrants lining up and boarding single-file onto buses bound for Mexico.
I'm sure it’s possible to argue that some of the immigrants would refuse to leave even if they could not work and had to live on the streets. But it’s not going to be very many of them, and those ones could be thrown in vans. They’re not going to be hard to find.
Tens of millions of people have been relocated before. The most obvious example to point to is the partitioning of Pakistan. That project used carrots and sticks, but it did not round millions of people up, throwing them in cars one at a time, sending three officers to arrest a single individual.
How long does the arrest take, if we include drive time and paperwork? How much are these ICE people being paid per hour? This all starts to become reminiscent of “Holocaust math,” no?
Far from moving to arrest the employers and landlords of illegals, which I suspect many in the Trump administration would view as antisemitic, Trump has not even managed to cut off illegal immigrant access to all of the free social services.
