The New Republic Expresses Horror That Trump Would Enforce Laws
Anybody notice a word that appears to be missing from this headline?
Trump’s Sickening Plans for an All-Out War on Immigrants
Quote:Donald Trump is reportedly planning an immigration crackdown that would make his first stint in the White House look tame.
Axios reports that Trump, if elected in 2024, is planning to increase ideological screenings of immigrants to prevent “Marxists” from entering, to designate drug cartels as “unlawful enemy combatants,” and to expand the “Muslim ban” to more countries.
“For those passionate about securing our immigration system ... the first 100 days of the Trump administration will be pure bliss—followed by another four years of the most hard-hitting action conceivable,” Stephen Miller, the anti-immigrant architect of Trump’s first term, told Axios.
Designating drug cartels as “unlawful enemy combatants” would provide a legal justification for the United States military to target them in Mexico—or so Trump imagines. It would also significantly raise tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, to say the least.
Trump also plans to complete his precious border wall, grow the dangerous floating barriers in the Rio Grande, deploy the Coast Guard and Navy to create a sea blockade to stop drug smugglers, and end “birthright citizenship” for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. These ideas and more stand a better chance of surviving court challenges given that the Supreme Court has become even more conservative since Trump’s first term.
Trump hopes to use the Alien Enemies Act—a long-forgotten section of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798—to quickly deport gang members, smugglers, and criminals by claiming a border “invasion” and designating people from certain countries as “alien enemies.” He also wants to make it easier to deport people and would use the FBI, DEA, and perhaps even the National Guard to find undocumented immigrants.
First, Trump would need to get elected. For them to publish this shows who they fear most. Gotta try to scare people. I do believe that polling shows overwhelming support for getting control of our border, as well as vetting who comes in.

Yeppers, but since it would be Trump that would fight this immigration problem it suddenly becomes demonic. Even the NY mayor who was bragging about its santuary status started crying that immigration has to be stopped. Ha, ha, what a bunch of dumb losers. If it was THE SOB who was going the Trump route of enforcing immigration laws he'd be hailed as a hero but they (Wokesters) bit more than they could chew and are now getting tummy aches. What's the saying, "watch what you wish for you just might get it" and they got it.
