Former President Donald Trump is right in the midst of campaigning for re-election and during a recent speech, he made an incredibly bold promise. Trump assured that if he is re-elected as president, ‘on day one’ he will execute the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history”. It appears our former president is drawing on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s hard line stance on border security, as he is advocating for stringent measures to prevent illegal immigration.
During his speech in Iowa, President Donald Trump outlined his plans to invoke the Alien Enemies Act and remove all known or suspected gang members from the country.
He spoke of the threat posed by MS-13 which he referred to as “the worst gangs in the world” and vowed to eradicate their influence through strict measures such as this one.
Trump has been vocal about his views on immigration since taking office and has used MS-13 as an example of why it is necessary to take action against illegal aliens.
The current surge of immigrants at the border is proof that lax policies are not working, leading Texas Governor Greg Abbott to order the reinstallation of a razor wire fence in Eagle Pass after federal officials cut it down.
The state has repeatedly challenged Biden Administration over its authority when it comes to securing the border with arguments backed up by images seen at key crossings that refute claims that flow had been slowed down during summer.
Moreover, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported that thousands of Venezuelans have gathered under Eagle Pass bridge for over an hour and a half showing mass illegal crossing taking place – almost two years after 15,000 Haitians were seen under Del Rio bridge.
In response, Abbott deployed more Texas National Guard troops and ordered them to set up more razor wire barriers at different locations along the border line between US and Mexico.
