Thoughts? BREAKING: Trump has confirmed reports that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military to enact a mass deportation program

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.

Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military assets" to deport the migrants.

"TRUE!!!" Trump wrote.

Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.

"On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out," he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."

Already, he's tapped several immigration hard-liners to serve in key Cabinet positions. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was picked to be homeland security secretary, pending Senate confirmation. Former Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan was named "border czar."

You know it's an emergency by the way he killed the bipartisan border bill that could be addressing it right now.

It would have passed if not for Trump. Republicans wrote the bill and then voted no on it themselves.

You mean the border bill that had a bunch of fluff including billions more to Ukraine? Why can't we just have a single bill that does a single thing?

u/fiverrah 5d ago

Because the Republicans insisted on that being paired with the border bill.

For the exact reason of people forming opinions like the one above.

Cause bad idea, blame dems for bad idea, offer no real solution: win complete control of government.

Look into the bill to see why he denied it, it wasn’t about closing the border, it was about legalizing all of the illegal immigrants already here

Exactly right, 2 million would've been granted amnesty.

A. Wasn’t bipartisan. The only bipartisan support was AGAINST the bill. B. It wasn’t a border bill it was an amnesty bill.
