The article discusses the ambitious goal of deporting one million undocumented immigrants, a promise reiterated by J. D. Vance and Donald Trump amid skepticism from analysts about its feasibility. Despite Trump's objective to exceed the average deportations under Obama, the resources required for such a massive operation present significant logistical challenges. The current pace of deportations falls short of Biden's average, highlighting the difficulties in implementing this aggressive immigration policy. The administration is pushing for Congressional support to secure additional funding to address the obstacles involved in executing this plan.
"Deporting one million immigrants in a year would fulfill the promise, far exceeding Barack Obama's average of 400,000 annual deportations."
"Analysts and experts view the figure which appears to be completely arbitrary with suspicion and point to logistical and financial obstacles that cast doubt on its feasibility."
"The pace of deportations in the first months of Trump's second presidency still below Joe Biden's average is the clearest evidence that it is not so simple to expel thousands of people overnight."
"All of these components require an immense amount of resources...the Republican administration is seeking Congressional approval of a new law that would provide a huge new budget allocation for immigration."
