In just under three months, Donald Trump will be sworn in as president. His main campaign promise, cracking down on undocumented immigrants, is a priority as he prepares to return to power.

“There is no price,” Trump told NBC News Thursday, speaking about his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.

“It’s not a question of price. This is not the case – in reality, we have no choice,” said the former and future president. “When people killed and murdered, when drug lords destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price,” he said.

The president-elect added that while “we obviously need to make the border strong and powerful and, and we must, at the same time we want people to come to our country.”

I’m not someone who says, “No, you can’t come in.” We want people to come,” he said.

Trump carried out mass expulsions and harsh crackdown on undocumented immigrants immigration and asylum seekers a central pillar of his campaign. As before reported by rolling stone, the former president expressed a desire to invoke the Alien Enemies Act – an 18th century law used to justify the imprisonment of Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II – to authorize the detention and the expulsion of undocumented migrants.

Stephen Miller, a longtime Trump adviser and immigration hawk, has publicly stated that invoking the Alien Enemies Act over existing immigration law would allow the incoming Trump administration to “pause the process.” regular procedure which normally applies to an expulsion procedure.

The logistics of the plan will be extensive and costly. In November last year, Miller said The New York Times that Trump is willing to use the Insurrection Act as a weapon to use federal law enforcement, the National Guard, and local law enforcement as immigration boots in the national crackdown. Miller also touted the construction of massive detention camps — concentration camps, if you will — in rural Texas to hold migrants awaiting deportation. Money to finance their construction would come from the military and the Department of Homeland Security.

“Mass deportations will be a labor market disruption celebrated by American workers, who will now be offered higher wages and better benefits for taking these jobs,” Miller told the newspaper. Times. “Americans will also celebrate the fact that our country’s laws are now applied equally and that a select group is no longer magically exempt.”

But some legal immigrants, who are also American workers, fear the nation’s crackdown on immigration could drag them down in its wake.

In September, after broadcasting a racist smear accusing Haitian immigrants of slaughtering and eating domestic animals in Springfield, Ohio, Trump sworn to expel immigrants living in the city. We are going to experience the largest deportation in the history of our country. And we’re going to start with Springfield and Aurora, Colorado. » Trump said.

The only problem is that most Haitian migrants in Springfield are documented and hold valid work authorizations. This is of no importance to the president-elect, who also vowed to end refugee resettlement programs, severely restrict access to asylum applications, and suggest ending birthright citizenship.

Trump is preparing to act out the most vengeful fantasies of himself and his supporters against immigrants – human or financial cost be damned.
