Immigration hawks urge Congress, Trump admin to ‘begin immediately’ on mass deportation pledge
The coalition of hawkish immigration groups is urging Republicans in Congress and officials in the incoming Trump administration to fulfill their promises of launching a mass deportation operation. The 10 groups, including Heritage Action for America and NumbersUSA, are calling for immediate action to secure the border and protect American workers.
President-elect Trump has vowed to implement a historic deportation operation and enhance border security. The groups are pushing for additional measures to limit asylum claims and strengthen the enforcement of immigration laws. They stress that mass deportations and secure borders are crucial for public safety, national security, and protecting American workers from unscrupulous employers.
The groups are urging the incoming administration and Congress to go beyond the 2023 House-passed GOP border bill and implement more aggressive measures. They suggest using the budget reconciliation process to fund deportation efforts and tighten immigration laws. Their recommendations include allocating resources for millions of deportations, closing loopholes in immigration law, and prioritizing American workers over foreign labor.
The coalition is adamant about not offering any form of amnesty and emphasizes the need to restore order to the immigration system. They are ready to assist in assembling a bold reconciliation package that reflects President Trump’s commitment to the American people and the rule of law.
Rosemary Jenks, police director at the Immigration and Accountability Project, emphasizes the urgency of providing resources for ICE to carry out mass deportations. The incoming administration is reportedly planning to start mass immigration arrests on day one, with a focus on enforcing immigration laws without apology.
In conclusion, the coalition is calling on Congress to act swiftly to deliver the necessary resources for President Trump to address the immigration crisis. They stress the importance of upholding the rule of law and protecting American workers. The American people are eagerly awaiting action on this critical issue.
