Donald Trump: “We Are Going To Have The Largest Deportation Effort In The History Of Our Country”


President Trump said during Wednesday night’s Fox News town hall that his administration would conduct the largest deportation effort in the country’s history.

“How will you gather the several millions that have already entered our country illegally and return them to their country of origin?” one town hall attendee asked Trump.

“It’s not sustainable for our country. We have millions and millions of people here. It is not sustainable,” Trump responded.

“Did you see in New York City where they’re getting the regular students out and they’re putting migrants in their place?” he continued.

“We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country,” Trump added.

“We’re bringing everybody back where they came from. We have no choice,” he said.

Trump, the leading contender for the Republican nomination, said that as many as 18 million people will have entered the country illegally by the end of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency, a number that he said is “not sustainable for our country.”

“Many of those people come from jails and prisons, many of those people come from mental institutions and insane asylums, and many of those people are terrorists,” he said, taking another big swing on the issue that helped to propel him to the White House in 2016.

In addition to bashing Biden for having “the worst border in the history of the world” and vowing to “finish the wall” at the Southern border, Trump used his town hall appearance to talk up his first-term record and to bash Florida governor Ron DeSantis, whom he said would “be working in a pizza shop, or maybe a law firm” if he hadn’t received Trump’s endorsement in 2018. Trump said he took DeSantis “from nothing to winning an election,” and he said the Florida governor, whose presidential campaign has underperformed, is not “a loyal person.”

Elon Musk commented on the New York City high school Trump referenced during Wednesday night’s town hall.

High School Temporarily Goes Remote To Make Room For Migrants

“This is what happens when you run out of hotel rooms. Soon, cities will run out of schools to vacate. Then they will come for your homes,” Musk said while sharing a video of migrants being temporarily moved into Brooklyn’s James Madison High School due to stormy weather conditions.

“Buses are now pulling up to @JMHSBklyn and dropping off illegals. School is closed tomorrow because illegals will be sleeping in the school’s gym. This is disgraceful! NYC is prioritizing illegals over Americans,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

From the New York Post:

The migrants were moved into the school around 5 p.m. on Tuesday as a storm precaution, with local officials concerned that torrential rains and powerful winds would collapse a massive migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field.

Though the roughly 1,900 asylum seekers were reportedly cleared out of the school by 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the school remained remote on Wednesday at the principal’s request, City Hall said.

LibsofTikTok told Musk his bet that migrants will be housed in Americans’ homes is “already happening,” citing a Boston 25 News article from August headlined: “Governor Healey asks residents to house migrant families amid growing shelter crisis.”

Over the summer, Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency over an influx of migrants, urging the federal government and the state’s own residents to step up support for the crisis, which she claimed at the time caused a “severe lack of shelter availability.”

“Wow,” replied Musk, who has waded into the US immigration debate ever since visiting the US-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, in September, when he said he witnessed “some pretty extreme individuals coming through.”

The flow of people coming to the country is so large that Musk said it’s “leading to a collapse of social services where even America’s largest city, New York, is buckling under the pressure of just how many illegal immigrants are going to New York.”
