Trump's Border Czar Homan to Start Mass Deportations, End Birthright Citizenship on Day One

Dec 11, 2024, 02:00 PM

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans for mass deportations of illegal immigrants and the elimination of birthright citizenship on his first day in office. Trump's Border Czar, Tom Homan, who received a hero's welcome in Chicago, has indicated that the mass deportation operation will begin immediately upon Trump's inauguration, with preparations already underway. This initiative has sparked a debate among legal scholars about the feasibility of overturning birthright citizenship, which is protected by the 14th Amendment. Critics argue that such policies could have severe economic and societal impacts, potentially affecting nearly 4% of the US population. The plans have drawn both support and criticism, with some expressing relief at the prospect of stricter border control, while others warn of logistical issues and potential human rights concerns. Additionally, Homan is working on plans to build deportation facilities in Texas, and even the Mexican Border Patrol has shown support for the new inspection points.
