... and the surprise is?

No longer does the draw of a job by US companies, that seem to like the immigrants for their low wage and job-safety needs, seem to matter.

But, what about the 10's of millions of illegal immigrants that Pres Trump had promised to deport?

How is he doing with that self-established goal?

I know you want them gone already, but hold your horses and give the team a few months.. It's going to take a little time.

Promises made. Promises not kept.

It's a pattern.

@#2 ... I know you want them gone already ...

Do you really want to look into my mind?

... but hold your horses and give the team a few months.. It's going to take a little time. ...

OK, I'll ask ...

How much more time?

Stated differently...

Given the current rate of deportation of illegal immigrants, how long will it take to reach the goal Pres Trump has set for "10's of millions" to be deported?

Trump deported fewer people last month than Biden a year ago, but border crossings have plummeted
www.nbcnews.com

... According to the data, ICE deported around 11,000 migrants last month, the first full month Trump was in office, compared to just over 12,000 in February 2024. One major reason for the higher numbers under the Biden administration was higher traffic from attempted border crossings, both legal and illegal, in 2024 compared to 2025. ...

OK, I need to take out the calculator, a trusty old HP-35, for this ...

OK, 10 million deportations, divided by 11,000 per month seems to be, 909.09 months.

Do you see a problem here?

No, not as long as progress is being made. This problem didn't come about overnight and it won't be fixed overnight either.. Do you hate immigrants that much that you cant be patient while they're being deported?

Wait, what?

Pres Trump promised to solve this problem quickly.

Now your current alias is calling him a liar?

I mean, 909.09 months.

Is that "quickly?"

He'll fire that DEI-hire puppy killer next, and get a straight white man in there to get the job done.

Tanking the economy and turning the US into ------ nation filled with policies of hate, abuse, and contempt did all that?

BTW - it's not just "illegal" border crossings that are down...

Canadian travel to US drops over 20% in February.
UAL has adjusted capacity of their routes downward as a result.
Canadians come here more than any other nation, and they spend 3 times more than domestic travelers.
That's gonna hurt some folks.

www.reuters.com

March is going to be even worse, no doubt, because that's when Trump really went off the rails.

But what about all those other nations? It appears we're going to have about a 5% decline instead of the prior-to-trump madness projected increase of 9%. So a net different of -14%.

Yay America.

MAGA idiots.

When you have to make shit up and say others said it because your brain is too small to see and be honest about what's going on, then you never had a point to begin with.
