Trump published op ed in Des Moines Register

Donald Trump: This is how I will end Joe Biden's border disaster on day one
We do not have time for on-the-job training. Unlike every other candidate, with me, there is no question. I promise you that I will get this job done.
Donald TrumpGuest columnist
Donald J. Trump is a Republican candidate for president.
The most urgent task facing the next president is to end Joe Biden’s nation-wrecking nightmare on our southern border. I am the only candidate who will stop this invasion — and I will do it on day one.

Under the Trump administration, we had the most secure border in U.S. history. We ended catch-and-release, and removed over 1 million illegal aliens in my first term. I negotiated unprecedented agreements with Central American nations and brokered “Remain in Mexico” to stop the flow of migrants to our border. I also got the Mexican government to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers to the border free of charge.

Every step of the way, we fought obstructionist left-wing judges and radical Democrat activists who tried to stop us — and we won.

By the time I left office, we’d built 500 miles of border wall, with many more miles just weeks away from completion. And under my Title 42 policy, people all over the world knew that if they entered illegally, we would send them straight back home.

But then Joe Biden came in, canceled the border wall, ended Remain in Mexico, ripped up my asylum bans, ended Title 42, and began resettling millions of migrants into American communities at taxpayer expense.

Now you are witnessing the disastrous results. We have the highest number of illegal border crossings in history, by far. Nearly a quarter million migrants crossed in November alone — and that’s a likely vast undercount. Migrants are overwhelming our cities. Drugs, criminals, gang members and terrorists are pouring in.

On my first day back in office, I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration and immediately restore the full set of strong Trump border policies.

Then, we will begin a record-setting deportation operation. Joe Biden has given us no choice. The millions of illegal aliens who have invaded under Biden require a record number of removals. This is just common sense.

To achieve this goal, I will make clear to every department and to state and local governments that we must use all resources and authorities available. We will shift massive portions of federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement — including parts of the DEA, ATF, FBI, and DHS.

I also will invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members from the United States. And we will use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis at last.

Joe Biden is leaving behind a catastrophe of historic proportions. The next president must secure the border while also stopping inflation, saving the economy, cleaning up Washington corruption, restoring peace through strength, and preventing World War III.

We do not have time for on-the-job training. Unlike every other candidate, with me, there is no question. I promise you that I will get this job done.

Iowans want secure borders. You must send that message with your vote. Show up on Jan. 15 and vote to stop the invasion by caucusing for Donald J. Trump.

No U.

There could be some correlation, but I would point out that the blue represents deportations from arrests at the border, so why would they be lower, or at best the same? There are/were millions of illegal immigrants in the country, again why would deportations from the interior be lower? Not Trump's fault?

Fact is that Trump made a yuge fuss about it but in all reality failed to actually improve upon the preceding administration. Now his plan is to do more of the same insignificant, temporary changes that the next guy will just reverse again. Very cool.

Here's where we lower the bar and argue that he'll still be bEtTeR tHaN bIdEn!!! Maybe so.

Less people to deport - less deportations

No you're right, that's wacky trump cult nonsense

LOL at pretending establishment Rs were doing anything other than obstructing trump and his agenda. "COMPLETE CONTROL." GFTO.

In that time however, he went to the ends of the world to get the border wall approved. He found a loophole in the Army Corp of Engineering and got a portion built, even after local politicians and judges found ways to stonewall the effort. A southern border wall would make enforcing immigration through the normal check points far easier, lighten the budget for the total number of agents and technology to patrol the border, etc. A 1 time investment of a few billion would largely pay for itself in no time-- imagine the cost of the social programs we have just to house/provide for our millions of immigrants.

He worked with Mexico to keep immigrants out of the US. It wasn't from a lack of effort.

Not denying validity to that, but then how and why is he claiming records? Both can't possibly be true at the same time.

It's wacky for sure.

This is where you can show that correlation you were talking about...

Trump's interior deportations were about half of what Obama was doing, yet the illegal immigrant population was only a few percentage points less.

Pick your own chart if you don't like this one, but clearly there were plenty of people to deport if Trump gave a chit about it.

Lessons learned.

This time we get full scorched earth Trump mode

No re-election to run for
No reason to come across as a "normal" president
No negotiation

And a much more favorable judiciary.


Get ready

Any decent examples of Trump learning his lesson?

He's saying his next term will set records, after the flood of illegals brought to us by you communists

I propose letting 2 illegals stay for every 1 communist that goes up in the helicopters, just to be fair.

Not if they have to be detained and brought to a port of entry. They get executed on the spot.

The tired, downtrodden seekers of asylum and freedom may legally declare their intentions to authorities within the US or at our border.

Violence is not the answer, what we need to do is elect more representatives like AOC to amend our laws to better fit the will of the people.

Donald Trump is a great man and the story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in the post history of username Seatard are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred.

His/the lefts argument is basically this: Trump didnt do enough to stop illegal immigration, so Im voting for the guy who's letting them all in.

Nearly everything Trump tried, was stopped by activist judges and had law suits that were in the courts for his entire presidency that Biden rescinded them after being elected.

Agreed!!!

So I guess Obama/Biden are responsible for kids being killed by assault weapons as they promised to ban them. They have literal blood on their hands.
