HERE’S AN ESSENTIAL WAY TO ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAW THAT MOST AMERICANS SUPPORT


PART OF IMMIGRATION LAW IS FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH DEPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS

For many years, and especially during the Trump administration, the far left and
mainstream media exerted much effort to brand deportations a dirty word. They
called President Barack Obama the "Deporter in Chief," even though his own
Department of Homeland Security secretary admitted they were cooking the books
to make deportations look larger than they really were.  

Criticism devolved during the Trump administration, labeling our efforts of
enforcing the immigration laws passed by Congress as inhumane and racist.
Infamously, in a blatant appeasement to the far left, then-candidate Joe Biden
pledged there would be zero deportations during his first 100 days in office,
including of criminal aliens convicted of the most heinous offenses. 

The progressive demonization continues today even as the Biden administration is
removing record-low numbers of illegal aliens. In a recent article, Axios
described the concept of removing illegal aliens from our country as "former
President Trump’s harshest immigration plans."

VOTERS'

Yet, after all this time misrepresenting and sensationalizing deportations, it
must have come as a shock to the open borders left that Axios’ own polling shows
that more than half of the American people support mass deportations, including
42% of Democrats. The poll also found that 68% of Americans believe illegal
immigration causes major problems in our communities, echoing the alarms
repeatedly raised by New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams and other sanctuary
city politicians.

After three years of the worst humanitarian and security crisis at the southern
border in our nation’s history, the American people have said enough is enough.
No longer is securing the border enough, action must be taken against the tens
of millions of illegal aliens in our country, including the record number the
Biden administration has allowed into American communities across the country
during his term.

One of many options to accomplish this goal is to significantly increase removal
proceedings, the technical term for deportations. It’s time to demystify
deportations and refute the prevailing liberal narrative that removing aliens
who have violated our immigration laws, whether or not they entered the country
lawfully or unlawfully, is controversial.  

In fact, removals are a civil and not a criminal matter. The U.S. Supreme Court
has consistently held since at least 1893 that deportation is not even a
punishment — it is simply the mechanism of returning aliens to their home
countries after it is determined that they lack a lawful basis to remain in the
U.S.

The process is time-consuming and includes numerous layers of appellate
opportunities, including for the unlawful border crossers who made dubious
asylum claims to block the streamlined expedited removal process. It is far from
game over after immigration judges order aliens removed.  



After that, they have the option to appeal the decision to the Board of
Immigration Appeals within the Department of Justice. Even if they uphold the
removal order, our immigration laws allow many aliens who have exhausted these
administrative remedies to further appeal in the federal courts, including the
possibility of going all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.  

Claims that this process is unfair are unfounded. Reforms could certainly
improve the removal proceedings process, but illegal aliens are given their day
in court to make the case that they qualify for humanitarian relief or some
other immigration status that would allow them to remain in the country
lawfully.

And yet, those on the far left still complain about deportations because they
fundamentally oppose immigration enforcement. This mindset is absurd and outside
the mainstream thinking of the American people.

Removing or deporting aliens is a fundamental aspect of how you properly
administer immigration law. Currently, approximately 1.5 million illegal aliens
remain in the United States with a final order of removal after exhausting all
of their attempts in court. This defiance, after spending years in various
courts, makes a mockery of our immigration system.

An America First administration must protect the homeland and national
sovereignty by securing the border and by imposing legal consequences to aliens
who violate our immigration laws. Every country in the world deports people,
it’s part of the government’s responsibility to protect national security. The
Biden administration is failing in this responsibility, but the next America
First administration will deliver results.
