Furthermore, as the president-elect awaits his reentry into office, he’s shared how he plans to inflate those figures in his second term.
“…Calling for a national emergency, and [sending out] the military for immigration enforcement, invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to bypass legal hurdles, and strengthening the Department of Defenses role in operations,” Burns-Tucker explained.
Are The President-Elect’s Plans Realistic? Or Just Rhetoric?
It has been reported that Trump’s focus will be on deporting immigrants who are “committing crime” in the country. Burns-Tucker noted that convicted immigrants are already scheduled to be deported to their home country once they complete their sentence. However, Trump may break new ground as he and his team are putting together a list of countries that will accept deportees if they’re not taken back by their native land.
“The list of potential places these people may be sent back to include countries such as Turks and Caicos, Panama, and the Bahamas,” Burns-Tucker explained.
