CBS’ 60 Minutes ran a lengthy outline earlier this evening consisting of questions to former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan about how President Trump will deport millions of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s illegal aliens. [Article with Video Here]
The sympathetic CBS framework is essentially what you would expect: (1) the illegal aliens are earnest people, part of a poor huddled mass; and (2) there’s no humanitarian way to deport millions of them. [Video Segment] Tom Homan does a great job dispatching the narrative engineers of CBS.
Cecilia Vega asks: “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?”
“Of course there is. Families can be deported together,” says Tom Homan, head of ICE during Trump’s family separation policy. https://t.co/If9G1sNEzj pic.twitter.com/TIWhi25Vdu

There were an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in 2006. According to CBS the current number of illegal aliens is still 11 million. That’s their story and they are sticking to it.
VIA CBS – […] The American Immigration Council estimated that it could cost $88 billion annually to deport one million people a year. The removal of millions of construction, hospitality and agriculture workers could reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.7 trillion.
Tom Homan, who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration, said he doesn’t know if the $88 billion a year cost estimate is accurate, but he says mass deportation is necessary.
“What price do you put on national security? Is it worth it?” Homan said. (read more)
Now, let’s cut this elephant into bite sized morsels to explain just how a deportation process can work. First, you cut off all funding. Next, you present two policy options:
(1) Leave and reapply, for expedited consideration… or (2) stay, wait to get deported and then be subsequently barred from ever having the opportunity in the future.
Watch the self-deportation begin.
The enforcement mechanism has a 60-day period before beginning.
♦ For those who choose to self-deport, at the exit port they receive a biometric scan (same as current CPB/INS visa system) that registers them for expedited consideration in their home country. Only with the exit registration is the alien eligible for expedited consideration.
♦ For those who refuse to leave, as the employment eligibility system, criminal justice system and current Immigration and Naturalization Service laws are enforced and utilized to identify them. They are picked-up, deported and also receive a biometric scan that registers them as permanently disqualified from legal reentry.
Those who self-deport are the generally the registered aliens we would want to permit to hold legal reentry eligibility status. Those who refuse to self-deport are generally going to be the ones we would not want to hold legal eligibility status.
The cost of the USA deportation expense is covered by placing a 5% surcharge on all money services, outbound financial transfers and remittances via Western Union etc, to Mexico, Central and South America. These transfers of cash are called “remittances”. It is a simple proposal to use a Money Services Compliance action, via the U.S. Treasury (Banking Services and Secrecy Act), that would force a Western Union affidavit (or other institution) to be completed prior to the transfer.
The Money Services Compliance Affidavit simply requires the sender present valid ID and fill out a form prior to the transfer which identifies the sender as a legally authorized entity within the U.S. An identical system has been in place for decades for financial services and money transfers sent to Cuba, a Cuban Remittance Affidavit.
The process is well known in the banking and money services industry and is nothing more than a swearing of legality, along with documentation to verify (state issued ID), by the originating entity. For Cuban remittances there are also maximum amounts allowable for transfer.
President Trump previously pondered a similar finance mechanism for the U.S. southern border wall.
Just 5% of their remittances?
After they have received free Health Care, SSI benefits, education, housing, food allowances, Obamaphones?
I say we should maybe take 10%, maybe 25% (50%?) of what these freeloaders have earned and are trying to send home.
This would be fitting restitution for the trouble caused.
Oh, and don’t forget the so called Dreamers, while you are at it.
My reaction to 5% exactly. Why are we not taxing the remittances at the maximum tax rate unless the foreign worker shows they should be paying a lower rate? If citizens earn income, they are forced to pay taxes.
I think Sundance is pointing out how little it would really cost or require to complete this task.
The [BS] estimated $88 billion annual tab for 1 million illegals shipped out comes to $88,000 per illegal deportee. I think the $88 billion is the minimum we’d save per year per 1 million deportees, after investing exponentially less sending them back.
CORRECT, both times!!!:-)
$88k / deportee grossly OVERestimates the cost. The actual cost is probably closer to $30k, which includes costs incurred rounding up, incarcerating, trying them and then flying them home. Such costs are incurred ONLY because illegals were allowed to invade the U.S.;-(
$50k-150k per yr per illegal immigrant is what many communities pay now, and will continue paying indefinitely to support illegals. The $50k-150k is limited to food, clothing, shelter, health care, education and life’s other essentials. It excludes U.S. government payments to NGOs driving the illegal invasion. It also excludes costs related to additional crime, additional traffic accidents, jobs native born residents LOSE to illegals, the downward pressure illegals exert on wages, the upward pressure illegals exert on dwelling rents …
Thus, mass deportation will be a YUGE NET benefit for the public well being.
Leftists have been touting the “11 million” figure since the 1980s. The likely accurate figure is 55-65 million illegals in our country, or some 15%-20% of the total population.
Using socialist logic behind gun control, if the $88B saves just one life, it’s worth it.
don’t use such logic or you empower it to be used later again and again
Better yet, don’t give illegal aliens any benefits.
Shut off any government funding to NGOs. NOW!
Get out of the UN first. Then clean out The Soros run US State Department. NGOs will vanish.
I do not know how this can be done without hot battles. But I as an American stand willing to help deport the Millions and MILLIONS of invaders as peaceable as possible, or as violently as needed. They broke the laws, they have no rights, and as INVADERS, that includes human rights.
Down the ballot, MAGA conservative candidates are important…for Congressional control!

I am sorry if this is uncharitable but I really hope it isn’t just the criminals. This illegal alien invasion affects all aspects of our lives: jobs, schools, healthcare, housing. Please deport all you can.
The overwhelming majority of this current invasion are single males, of course, 60 minutes shows a family to garner sympathy. Truth be told an illegal family doesn’t sit well with me either. Get in line.
Environmentally also. More people (illegal invaders) more “Green House Gases” more pollution, less open space, less wildlife habitat, less wildlife, less natural resources like water etc etc etc Environmentally you can use their own Globull Warming/Climate Change hysteria against them.
Not to forget to mention the impact it has had on domestic cat and dog populations.
Why do we even have to make a case for the removal of an invading army, brought in specifically to destabilize our culture and economy ? If it’s not instantly apparent to any US citizen that this is a betrayal and act of malice by an illegitimate government against its people, it’s time to wake up and stop playing language games to rationalize a lack of protective/defensive response by a sadly supine citizenry.
It’s simple, once you get the obstructive “Democrats” out of the way. Refer to Eisenhower’s procedure for deporting illegals in the 1950s; round them up and send them back to where they came from.
And pay particular attention to the military-age young men who fill their ranks. They are clearly a hazard (potential mercenary troops?), and should be the first to depart! Get real folks; this is a country in need of saving.
Needs to be every last one of the 35M here illegally. Visa overstays, and whoever came in through the southern border or were flown in. Out. Everyone.
Auslanders Raus!
Goal #1 is win the election, not fire up 50 million illegal immigrants to vote!!!
No deportations will happen unless the election has already been won so your point is moot.
Did they talk about all those kids that are missing? You want to fill those jobs in construction etc, then fill them with all those welfare freeloaders. This is part of Elon’s 2 Trillion savings plan.
Two serious questions:
1) Most (probably 90%+) of these illegal invaders threw way their Identification cards/Passports/Etc. at the urging of the immoral NGOs facilitating the invasion of our country. Without documents, many countries will balk at accepting their citizens back. How will this be handled?
2) How do we address the inevitable court/judge shopping that leftist NGO attorneys will employ to put a “legal” stranglehold on proceeding with the mass expulsion of the invaders? What happens if it goes to the Supreme Court and they block or limit the deportation of these invaders?
I don’t have the answers here, but I see these as two HUGE hurdles to clear that may take longer than 4 years to resolve….
Stop the incentives and enforce the law. They will find their way home by themselves.
That has to be the first step. When they go a couple of weeks with no MOOLA they will self deport. And if the Countries don’t take them back them out comes the tariffs and no financial help. PDJT knows how to make those Countries comply.
Laws..and the enforcement of them…are only for citizens and legitimate, legal immigrants (my husband being one).
A politically ideological “justice” system has so acted…or not.
No one has “standing” in a nation which ignores the Constitution, except those for whom the Constitution doesn’t apply and will never swear allegiance to the nation they have conquered.
Or, like the Bible, picks which parts are “relevant” to the world as it is today and ignore or “re-imagine” the rest.
And here we are…
We have arrived at their destination.
Only citizens and legitimate, legal immigrants should have “standing” in U.S. courts. Except of course for the prosecution of crimes.
Use their EBT card info. If they have that they have their info. Otherwise that gets taken away anyway.
Flip a switch on day one and zero $0 their account balances. Then flip another switch and freeze/close their accounts.
If Canada can do that to their LEGAL citizens (Freedom convoy and their supporters), we surely can do it here for illegals.
They are welcome to “illegally” return to their home country if they disposed of their papers. The NGO’s need to be reviewed 6 ways to Sunday by the IRS and every other agency that has a possible controlling interest. I wouldn’t be surprised if the money trail shows widespread illegal activity.
I smell RICO lawsuits, they smell like victory! (To paraphrase)
Mexico aided and abetted the aliens, so deport them back to the country which, through they came! Simple
Stop the taxpayer money funneled to the NGO that guides and hosts them here.
Impose massive fines on the NGO
That would take care of most
1. Any country that refuses to accept their own people back will get the gift of huge tariffs from President Trump.
2. If a Communist federal judge attempts to stop the deportations through unconstitutional law fare tactics, then President Trump ignores them and proceeds with the deportation. A federal judge has no right to interfere.
Of course, the left wing of the UniParty will threaten impeachment and the right wing of the UniParty will be inclined to meekly support that effort. President Trump would then make a public statement that any RINO that doesn’t support him will be publicly named, shamed and primaried.
This is war and we must not give in.
I imagine if there’s any more lower court interference SCOTUS may expedite the situation just to basically tell the courts that Trump is within his purview to deport because that is the LAW. That would decisively end the interference. Hopefully it won’t even come to that considering how SCOTUS has ruled lately. The BIG issue is that judges and lawyers are never held accountable for acting in bad faith. That needs to change, big time.
Mexico! We don’t need your Oreo®s!
Let the Epstein and P Diddy tapes come out.
Would send a lot of rats scurrying to leave the country.
Start with Bill Gates and Pansie Graham.
No ID = DEPORT and no come back.
I believe the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court wrote the ruling that every person legally and ILLEGALLY in the United States must be counted for the census therefore ALL illegal citizens must go.
This would ensure the Electoral Vote count would properly reflect the number of legal citizens and potential shift 7 Electoral and Congressional seats to Republicans.
We would then need to require people to work in order to receive any government assistance.
We would also need to significantly pass tax incentives for couples to have babies.
No workee, no eattee. Easee !
Welfare invites people to be lazy.
Special extreme cases of govt assistance are different, but there’s no way 7+ million able bodied people are not working to earn their keep.
And while we’re at it, Musk needs to fire 80% of all federal w0rkers. They are leeches.
Let them suck their OWN blood.
Stop the welfare state gravy train and they will go home.
And promise that any country refusing re-entry of its citizens will be docked $50k in foreign aid per refusal
No, shut down all foreign aid forthwith until our national debt is zero dollars. Right now it’s 35 Trillion. Charity begins at home.
Yep – no foreign aid until we are debt free!
You be right!
End all sanctuary cities and states by threatening to cutoff fed funds. End the handouts, they will self deport
Remember when PDJT tried to cut off LE grants to jurisdictions that did not meet the written criteria of the grant? They must cooperate with ICE & CBP to eligible. Sanctuary jurisdiction clearly do not but he was not allowed to bar their participation.
The courts are not going to allow the fed to enforce even the written terms of the laws passed by CONgress.
How many impeached judges will it take to clean up the judges decision making process?
If SCOTUS steps in to fix it then they will. I think it’s clear they want to ramp down the pressure in this country because they know they’ll not be spared if things get bad.
Deportation will greatly lower those ‘toxic’ Green House Gases that the Climate Cult money launderers tell us America has to lower (not China/Asia) to ‘save’ the planet.
There is no climate change! There. Stopped. See how easy that was?
That Greta chick is just downright repulsive.
She is worth a couple of million dollars. Not bad for a middle school dropout.
In addition to this, we should send our criminals to these countries that have allowed invasion. Contract to build jails for the criminals in our jail system, in these countries.
I would agree providing these countries paid in advance for the planning, site-prep and construction of said prisons. Otherwise their prisons are their problem.
Having watched Tom Homan during the Congressional hearing, he’s pretty impressive. CBS continues the BS about ‘families’ being separated. I wonder when they decide to do an expose on the sex trafficking of children coming across the border and disappearing. Probably never.
They don’t give a rats tail about the people coming in. Their sole aim is to legalize them as voters so they can remain in power. Exhibit A is the condition of today’s blacks after 40-50 years of pandering by Democrats.
Notice how the libs are never concerned about the separation of US Citizens’ families through the death/assault of a loved one at the hand of an illegal aliens.
Long over due consequences to the illegal criminal activity of illegal entry into this country. This is the crux of the issue the libs and illegals never discuss.
.
That reporter will be indicative of the scummy “reporting” we can expect.
My dentist of 40+ years has had a “spa” open up in his building, which he says has after hours activity. Very odd, and I’m seeing more of these around. Anecdotal, but I’m suspicious that human trafficking is at play here. These open borders are a disaster. Nothing good can come from this.
“Spas” and “Massage Parlors” and “Nail Salons” are hives of human trafficking: Mrs. Ausonius and I attended a human-trafficking conference here in our small, Ohio city, and those three operations were cited as obvious centers of illegal activity.
Local enforcement could perhaps do more against them, but they have their limits.
Shut down all incentives. Right now it’s all carrots and no sticks for illegals. It should be reversed to all sticks and no carrots. And no one should be granted any future entry consideration. We don’t want them ever. There are plenty of qualified people waiting in legal lines that we can pick and choose (or completely shut it down- it’s entire our choice). No other country allows this. And you can not put a price on peace and prosperity and preservation of the America and American culture.
Start with all the illegals living large on our dime in 4 star hotels with daily maid service. They aren’t working. And shut off the loaded debit cards so no more free cash and food. Put them in a bus and fly them home.
Then shut down the app that helps all these fkrs get here from all over the world. Defund all the “migrant” NGOs and open an investigation of each.
Tell countries they take back their citizens or not one drop of foreign aid and extra terrors on their products sold in the USA.
And build the wall.
Tired of this bullshit.
You actually do not believe those illegals in New York City hotels are there to pick crops? /s
When considering the 5%, I would add another 5 for victim compensation and damage to infrastructure caused by this vermin.
No one here recalls that the UN has been funding and aiding these migrants for years against us? This is just a recent article:
https://cis.org/Bensman/UN-Budgets-Millions-USBound-Migrants-2024
Our taxes our being laundered “six ways to Sunday” to undermine our country. It’s not just NGOs (funded by our government).
Sundance MISSED the reason CBS ran this segment???
They’re trying to MOTIVATE 50 MILLION illegal immigrants to vote for Kamala Harris!
THAT’S THE SKINNY, and we played into their hands.
A smarter move would have been to say the focus is deporting criminal illegal aliens; and that any illegal voting will be fully prosecuted, including deporting illegal aliens who vote.
Another case where emotion and idealogical purity overtakes strategy.
Possibly: however, would many illegal aliens watch the show?
I am skeptical.
All it takes is one-half percent – 250,000 votes – to flip every swing state.
This issue also fires up certain Liberals, millions of legal Latinos, and Liberal women (misplaced compassion).
Suicidal compassion.
Legal Latinos largely go for Trump
It seems to be more a 50 / 50 split. He could have appealed to them better in the debate, but Harris attacks him, he gets emotional, and lacks focus.
Latino truck drivers, small business owners, taco trucks, etc., are also getting hammered by high prices. He could have appealed to them.
I believe few people know that NITROGEN is a big component of modern ag, so when nitrogen prices quadruple, food prices increase. As well as farm vehicles, delivery trucks, etc.
Doubt it. How many illegals can even speak, read and write in English?
They just need ballots, names, and Democrat operatives and NGOs do the rest. Who knows, maybe the cartels even get involved.
Sundance hasn’t missed anything.
There is no way that many illegals could get registered much less vote.
The sky is not falling.
His posting this article now does us no good. Every vote counts.
They just need ballots, names, and Democrat operatives and NGOs do the rest. Who knows, maybe the cartels even get involved.
Like Sundance says, Trillions are at stake. Think the cartels want 500 more miles of Wall, and a secure border? No.
Here’s an equally good idea. Any Chinese shipping company with fentanyl on board gets a HEAVY FINE; second time, SIX MONTH BAN? Third offense, LIFETIME BAN?
VIA CBS – […] The American Immigration Council estimated that it could cost $88 billion annually to deport one million people a year.
These corporate media outlets are propagandists, and anything they say, write, or air should be immediately dismissed.
But it does raise a question: how much is it costing us to import them?
Remittances are now being done using those Bitcoin ATMs that you see in many convenience stores.
It took me a while to figure this out lol . . .
Who buys Bitcoin in a gas station? Ahhhh, I see.
Not going to attach fees to those transactions.
So how do we know that the questions and answers presented to us actually match up with each other and haven’t been edited and chopped up? This is CBS after all.
Asking for a friend.
The 5% fee will not stop the flow of money out. Here why.
At one time I resided in a small community SE of Maricopa county, AZ. This community only had a “contract” post office.
I was in line one morning and ahead of me were 3 Mexican females each with a box to ship to Mexico. When the clerk ask one lady how much she wanted to insure her package for, she answered $5000. When the clerk asked here what was so valuable she answered the box was full of American dollars.
Both of the other 2 ladies were shipping the same to Mexico. This was not the only time I witnessed this action. The USPS needs to be stopped from shipping packages to Mexico unless it is verified they do not contain cash.
Pretty sure it’s illegal to ship cash. And illegal to insure it if you do. That’s federal trafficking on an international scale. I’m almost certain that activity is illegal. Like how they tried to bust Popodopolos with that cash from his trip to Greece that he left with a lawyer over there.
The incentive is for the illegal border crossers to vote illegally with no objection by the corrupt Democrat party. Even if 5%…..that’s a lot of votes.
Ultimately, it comes down to actually enforcing the laws that are in place, and enforcing the punishments for those who break them.
The problem, at its core, is not the people who are coming here illegally. It is the people who are facilitating their transit because they benefit from a vast, undocumented pool to exploit for nefarious purpose. Problems like ‘judge-shopping’ can be fixed but putting the screws to the people who bend or break the law in order to allow the process to continue.
The power to tax, is the power to destroy. And there’s a -LOT- of NGOs that are in need of some taxing…
The NGOs that have been aiding unending theft of this nation’s resources, exploitation of vulnerable people and children. In addition to sex trafficking, need to face criminal prosecution. They also need to have their corporate and personal wealth confiscated down to the dirt on their floor. That includes those affiliated with religious “charity”.
The Trump campaign should thank CBS for this in-kind contribution.
To be honest, even if it were true that there is no humane way to deport 11 or however many million illegal aliens, I wouldn’t care. They are making my country a noticeably poorer, less nice place to live and they have no right to be here. It is far more inhumane to permit civilization to be degraded and destroyed. They all have to go – men, women and children.
They are weapons in the hand of Satan’s transnational oligarchy. They have to be removed. If they are good, if they are hard workers, if they are capable, then their own peoples need them, and we do not. Those who are not good, should not be our problem. They have to be removed. EVERY LAST ONE
This is our homeland. It is not the world’s orphanage. It is not a self-actualization playground for foreign adventurers. It is not an open-borders trade zone from which globalists extend their empire of usury, sodomy, and pederasty over a violently resisting world. Why? BECAUSE WE LIVE HERE
Our uniquely sympathetic nature (outgroup altruism) is exploited by those who have been manipulating us for the last century to self destruction. They know what buttons to press to get the unawakened among us to do what they want in pursuit of their own profit and power.
HERE HERE!
America First! Or we soon won’t be America at all!!
Have these illegal migrants paid income tax on all this money and all the gifts they’ve received from the federal government including the free housing, health care, and transportation?
Citizens are required to pay income tax on any gifts or benefits we receive from the government. We pay taxes on social security and any other benefits.
I don’t know if they added an exemption to the tax code but a gift is a taxable event. Maybe we could put those 87,000 new IRS agents to good use.
If the word got out, more might self deport.
President Trump sure mentions Al Capone a lot. Didn’t they “get” Al Capone on tax evasion?
I happened to hear an estimate it would take 100,000 employees to handle deportations. Well, we fire the new 80,000 plus IRS agents and make those positions ICE deportation experts. When we shut down the Dept. Of Education we convert another 20,000 of those positions to the same. Heck, I’m sure we can take thousands of more positions from other agencies (e.g., Sen. Warren’s Consumer Protection Bureau) and do the same.
Shift the positions(billets) on day one.
Deport them to the states who go blue this election. Yes, I know its the cities that control those states, but deport them to the cities that vote blue.
I’m now starting to smell a rat.
Suddenly the narrative is all about Trump’s victory, winning the popular vote, and both House and Senate. Suppose they’re setting us up for another 2016, only WE are the ones who get a surprise, not Hillary.
Suppose it takes three to four weeks, as victories in each state slip away when more and more ballots turn up.
Biden is mighty anxious to stomp any sort of uprising.
Now I sound like Eeyore. Gloom and doom go hand in hand with reading a column by Never Trump Erick Erickson. My mistake. Lol
The Pravda MSM always go for the heart-strings pull.
If I was working for the Trump organization, I would answer every immigration question with “Where are the over 325,000 missing children of the Harris/Biden Regime? Tell me, is it safe at night for your 18-year old to walk down the street in a sanctuary city?”
Where are the over 325,000 missing children?
CUT THE CORD
Pardon me if it’s been suggested and I missed it but it seems to me legally making all forms of public assistance dependent on proof of citizenship, you end up with a march south.
And forget a 5% remittance tax– how about 25%?
We’re spending that much to “defend” Ukraine’s border. Ending that pointless war frees up money to fight this purposeful one.
The GDP decrease? Well yeah, fewer transfer payments to illegals means less federal spending, which lowers GDP. I think we can all agree that lower GDP due to less federal spending is a great side effects
To be successful, Trump will need to target the likely sources of resistance. CBS should lose its broadcast license. Take a shot across the bow of the media. Other targets: NGOs need to be visited by the IRS. There’s a human trafficking and smuggling component of their business models. Target their financiers, too. It’s mostly the billionaire class.
Then we take a page from Lawfare and target their lawyers. Thinking about suing the Administration to tie us up in court? Sounds like obstruction of justice – obstruction of our ability to enforce the law – bankrupt them with waves of civil suits. Make it unprofitable to be an immigration lawyer.
Trump needs to do to the DC circuit what he did to the 9th.
If See-BS is for it, then CK is against it, and visa versa.
Deportation would actually improve the economy because many who work here illegally send money back home to their families. They don’t pay any taxes because they work under the table for cash. Having people who are legal keeps wages earned here spent here and increases local and state income from sales tax. Additionally, the national housing shortage will be fixed when the people who don’t belong here are gone.
AND while we are at it – let’s remove white Americans who are collecting disability and working under the table AND receiving food stamp money. Set up a hotline.
I will not pretend. A few of them who committed new felonies since arriving will be deported and maybe a few others but for the most part they ALL will be allowed to stay. The uniparty supports this as the money is too hard for them to give up. We have been hearing this since Reagan and Trump will be a lame duck from day one as far as Congress is concerned. But they will give President Trump the money to finish the wall even though nearly everyone who wanted to come already has.
No they won’t.
E-Verify.
Can we also assess a penalty of 1 year’s salary to every person in the Federal government who has been elected to office in the last 4 years? And to all NGO employees whose organizations have participated in these crimes?
Tom Homan is a rock star!! One of President Trump’s BEST appointments ever.
He is a no-nonsense individual who will rid this country of the illegals much like a Pest services that eradicates insects.
The problem is that Mexico is run by the cartels. The cartels want to take over the southwest. Take out the cartels. That means the Mexican people can make Mexico Great again . That way we can bring security to the Hispanic people. The Hispanic people are under the thumb of evil.
Fill the C-130s and dump them out in their country of origin paid with the money we DON’T send to Ukraine.
I’ve posted this before. it’s just one aspect of the whole “migrant” situation, and the people involved in this for their own pecuniary interests or their family’s, are pushing the sob stories and hating on Donald Trump for interfering in their filthy racket, while they pretend to be holier than we are.
Remember, the UK got where they are through legal immigration.
Enough is too much.
Human Farming
‘m a dude with political power. I also own a bunch of rental properties. This puts me in a position to influence policy in a manner that causes a supply/demand imbalance in the rental housing market. Let’s say that, for example, I arrange with the Federal government to “welcome” a few thousand “migrants” into my town, all of whom come with serious federal subsidies amounting to a couple of thousand dollars a month plus they have work permits.
Think about what happens here. The local employer base can pay these people less because they have a $24,000 annual tax free subsidy that the Federal government “gives” them. In truth they didn’t give anyone anything — they stole it from US Citizens since the government can’t make money — it can only transfer it from one person to another. In addition the local residents do not qualify for that same $24,000 annual subsidy and thus the price of rent now increases dramatically because the supply of housing does not change much on a rapid basis but the demand does and the people that are presenting the new demand are obtaining, by force, the $24,000 from the rest of the US population.
As the landlord I’m happier than a pig in ****. I can (and do) double or even triple the rent. When the American citizens can’t pay and the “migrants” can, guess who gets the apartment? While my costs might go up a bit (more people, more wear, etc.) my profits skyrocket.
The problem is that I didn’t honestly earn the money. I deliberately put in motion a scheme where I indirectly stole tens of thousands of dollars per person, per year for each apartment through the tenants and ultimately from every US Citizen. The harm to anyone citizen is diffuse but just as someone who skims ten cents each from 10 million account holders in a bank I still stole a million bucks.
Worse, the harm is not entirely diffuse. The townsfolk who are displaced get the immediate negative impact of having their place to live ripped out from under them. Given the further-depressed wage base in the local area which I created whether on purpose or simply as a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the policy I screwed them twice — first by ripping their place to live out from under them by soliciting the subsidy and then again by destroying wages in the local area so they can’t replace either their job or their apartment.

BTW this has been going on for ages in various forms. Remember when somebody thought it would be a great idea to fill up a floundering city like Detroit with muslims on welfare?
Then there’s the various “economic development” plans where a business is given money to locate somewhere, only to see the business bring in foreign workers?
What gets done with children of illegal aliens who were born in this country?
The so-called “anchor babies”.
Aren’t they automatic American citizens?
Thank you so much for explaining this. I had no idea how it would be possible to bring this deportation about without terrific violence and social disturbance.
I am already seeing a few signs of renewal of hope, of possibility, of interest in online sales and special interest collecting sites online.
Every illegal MUST BE DEPORTED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Getting them back home is more humanitarian than how they arrived. And they can keep the clothes and the phones.
As fully intended by the Obama, Soros and Schwab crowd, uncontrolled immigration is the Cloward-Piven Strategy on steroids! As their population increases, the weight of their welfare and “services” increase dramatically across all facets of society. Immediate affects are the welfare, housing and food costs; then health care, schooling and mobility. Of course crime skyrockets the minute they arrive. What we see right now in Europe is where we will be in just a couple of years!
YOU CAN THANK DEMOCRATS FOR WANTING TO KILL AMERICA AND ALL OF US WHO DESIRE PEACE!
Yep!! 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
