More than 6 million immigrants could be deported under latest Trump plan

PHOENIX — Donald Trump’s latest deportation priorities could target more than six million individuals for immediate removal, according to a Washington Post analysis. If elected president, he said Wednesday that his administration would also seek to bolster staffers devoted to immigration enforcement.

After weeks of opaque public statements regarding his stance on mass deportations, Trump spelled out hard-line immigration priorities in a fiery speech here in Phoenix. He not only called for removing all undocumented immigrants who had committed crimes, but also said he would prioritize those who have overstayed their visas for deportation.

The GOP presidential nominee also said he would triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and create a “new special deportation task force” to track the most serious security threats.

Together, those proposals represented his most specific comments on deportation policy — and they pointed to a massive undertaking.

1. He ain't gonna deport squat...

We did get up to over a million a year a while back, but we're down to a few hundred thousand a year now, and it's still costing bundle.

And he doesn't seem to know that he can't simply order the hiring of this new force without Congressional approval and paying for it. And, amybe some laws would need to be changed.

We're already doing OK deporting criminals, so he can't really increase that very much.

2. and like 20000 "illegal" immigrants deported...

in the first HOUR "when"he became president? how does he expect to accomplish this? does he already have a secret list of who he is going to deport? where does he expect to get the money and the manpower? t-rump is looney tunes...and he has no idea how government works.
