The article discusses the contrasting traditions in America regarding immigration, emphasizing a lesser-known practice of deporting non-assimilating migrants. It highlights President Trump's aggressive approach towards mass deportations, noting that public sentiment has shifted in favor of this strategy, especially after experiencing the challenges posed by the open-border policies under the Biden administration. The piece also references historical precedents for mass deportations throughout different eras in U.S. history, arguing that lessons from those times could inform current policies and lead to significant political achievements for Trump in his immigration agenda.
Both the right and left in America celebrate the tradition of welcoming immigrants who wish to assimilate and become productive members of the American nation. But America has another great, if forgotten, tradition: Deporting migrants who refuse to do either.
In fact, the U.S. leads the world in deportations, having booted out over 57 million non-citizens since 1882.
Trump's administration has already detained thousands of violent illegal aliens. Prioritizing the most dangerous criminal aliens makes sense, but even non-violent illegal migrants cost American taxpayers, disrupt our society, and take jobs from American workers.
If President Trump follows their lead and carries out his mass-deportation program, the policy will be perhaps his most significant and far-reaching political achievement.
