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.

massive amount to the debt by flying people way back into their countries of origin.
Where's all those conservatives that want smaller government and are so worried about the deficit?

wearing funny costumes, with goofy customs & religions. And those nativists have used that fear to commit endless atrocities.

150-200 yrs ago, they were against Irish Catholics. 100 yrs ago they were against the Italians. 50 yrs ago they were against people from South & Central America, and the Caribbean. Today they're against people from Mexico and Muslim countries.

The only commonality it that they're against the existence of people.
