Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced his plans to collaborate with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, if re-elected, to address the influx of illegal migrants into the country. Trump, in a statement on his Facebook page, declared his intention to initiate the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history, emphasizing that those allowed into the country under President Joe Biden should not expect to stay.
Trump accused Biden of facilitating the entry of millions of illegal migrants and claimed that the President is working against Abbott and the State of Texas, which has invoked the Invasion Clause of the Constitution to seek support in repelling the influx of migrants.
The statement outlined Trump’s commitment to working with Texas and other border states to secure the border and address the perceived crisis. It expressed support for Texas’ measures to protect safety, security, and sovereignty, encouraging other states to deploy their guards to assist in preventing illegal entry and facilitating deportations.
During his presidency, Trump implemented strict immigration policies, including a travel ban on citizens from certain countries, diverting military funding for border wall construction, and implementing family separations for detained migrants. Trump’s statement reflects his stance on border security and immigration, positioning it as a central issue in his potential re-election bid.
It’s important to note that Trump’s immigration policies, including family separations, faced significant criticism and legal challenges during his tenure. The announcement underscores the continued emphasis on immigration as a key policy area in the political landscape.
