Saturday, March 08, 2025

Trump lags Biden in initial deportation numbers. Agreements with Central American countries to aid deportation efforts. ICE arrests rise, but detention space limits deportation capacity.

... U.S. President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration. ...

... But no proposal has received as much attention -- or support from his fans -- as Trump's pitch to deport as many as 20 million people he's said are undocumented. It is unclear how many undocumented people are in the country. ...

20 million?

That's a bit more than 400,000 per month over a four-year period.

He's not even at 10% of that. Best get Elon on it.

37,66o in the first month is 1,255 per day. Now he needs to average 2,900 per day to hit his target for this year.

@#5 ... Now he needs to average 2,900 per day to hit his target for this year. ...

I dunno.

When I divided 20 million by four years, I get, 5 million per year.

Dividing 5 million by 365 days, I get a bit over 13 thousand per day.

I dunno.

I was going off Lewzer saying they were going to deport 1 million per year.

@#7 ... saying they were going to deport 1 million per year. ...

Of course, that then leads to a couple of questions ...

Why does Pres Trump apparently have the need to lie so much?

What should we believe of what he says?

Why does Pres Trump apparently have the need to lie so much?

It's what he does. He just makes up whatever he thinks sounds good at the moment.

@#9 ... He just makes up whatever he thinks sounds good at the moment. ...

Oh, you noticed that also?

But when a mass deportation of 10-20 million people is involved, don't you think there should be more thought behind the comments spouted?

It doesn't seem to hurt him much.

I noticed a lack of MAGAT douchebags on this thread. Curious.

Almost as if they may be a coordination behind those aliases. Or maybe one entity behind most of them, or even all of them?

I wish I knew.

Another thread showing that all the hand wringing, stories of terror at schools and churches across the country, imminent concentration camps as all these people were descended upon... were utter bull***t.

This is why the dems weren't listened to then, and now that you actually have good points that Trump is slinging platitudes about immigration, no one is left to listen to you now.

If the Dems could just have some measured and reasonable responses, they could make some gains... instead we get 'choose your fighter' Tik Toks.

smh

Their facade of reality has been penetrated. It was never thicker than their next line of snark.
t
Trump/MAGA will respond to stats showing low deportation rates by lying their asses about them in future.

Is that what you get from this?

Not that Donald Trump was willing to scare the bejesus out of everyone for the sake of PROMISES he couldn't keep.

You people are entirely malleable. Like putty.

You don't care what sh-- Trump feeds you it all tastes good.
