Summary
President-elect Donald Trump’s team is reportedly planning to end two Biden-era immigration programs, potentially making hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the U.S. legally eligible for deportation.
These programs—CBP One and the CHNV parole program—allowed over 1.3 million migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. legally.
Trump’s initial deportation focus is expected to include individuals deemed national security risks, such as Chinese nationals of military age, as well as those with criminal convictions.
Legal challenges are anticipated, similar to those seen during Trump’s first term.
He can’t [legally] deport US citizens either, but he has promised to do so. Who’s going to stop him? Congress? The courts? Republicans will control both.
The citizens. It’s up to us to say when enough is enough. We give him power, and when we don’t listen, then he loses power. Only a little above 50% is claiming to be in his court rn, and that can shift any second. Plus it’s an American circumstance to take and keep immigrants regardless of what politicians say the state of the border is. It’s all a farce and the US has never stopped taking immigrants
Are you planning on heading to the border to stop them?
I think you’re misunderstanding my position. I’m for open borders
The same citizens who couldn’t take few hours out of their day to stop this transfer of power in the first place, via a system specifically meant for it?
The system itself is working exactly as it’s supposed to and that’s the problem. It didn’t matter about those people that you are referring to not voting. They stopped the count when Trump got the electoral votes. Meaning the popular vote wouldn’t have made a difference
The citizens elected him mate
No. The electoral college did. They stopped counting the popular vote when he got enough electoral votes
