(Patriot.Buzz) – Doubling down on his America First policies, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump electrified his supporters at a rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, with a fiery pledge: mass deportations and a ban on flights carrying migrants.
His plan aims to tackle what he describes as the illegals’ “invasion of small-town America,” prompting cheers from the audience.
Trump has vowed to rely on wartime powers, allied governors and military support to deport millions of illegals if elected.
Although critics claim that his bold assertions are racially charged, Trump insists his plans are crucial to get America back on track as he seeks to reclaim the presidency in 2024.
The former president intends to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a law that allows the president to deport noncitizens from countries the U.S. is at war with.
This tactic might bypass laws that ban the military from getting involved in civilian matters, allowing a more aggressive deportation strategy.
Local police cooperation with ICE has diminished since the Obama era, complicating enforcement efforts.
Any large-scale deportation would require substantial resources and infrastructure, raising questions about viability.
“The Alabama National Guard is going to arrest illegal aliens in Alabama and the Virginia National Guard in Virginia,” said Trump’s immigration policy chief Stephen Miller on “The Charlie Kirk Show.”
“And if you’re going to go into an unfriendly state like Maryland, well, there would just be Virginia doing the arrest in Maryland, right, very close, very nearby,” Miller added.
Analysts and former ICE officials doubt that deporting the 11 million illegals in the U.S. is possible. The logistics, legal barriers and human resources required are overwhelming challenges.
Military leaders likely will resist being drawn into domestic law enforcement, fearing it could harm morale and tarnish the military’s apolitical stance.
“As soon as I take the oath of office, we will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country,” Trump expressed at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
While many critics argue Trump’s vows are unrealistic and harmful, his base views this approach as essential for restoring order and protecting American values.
The battle lines for the 2024 election have been drawn, with immigration and economic concerns taking center stage.
