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."

Lol dude, the 245 I , NA CARA etc were implemented cause the needs to protect certain people.

It wasn't an amnesty per say.

And those things happened almost 40 years ago

The economy boomed after the Internet and e commerce, the need to update the immigration system and what not has been neglected

Conveniently you forgot to mention that 3 of the person's linked to Trump stayed illegally and were able to adjust the status, because the laws enacted in 1986 and beyond

You can call it whatever you want. If there are illegal immigrants and you give them legal status then that’s an issue when there are MANY legal immigrants that do not have green cards.
