Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven the two start time here on Houston's Warning News.
So mass deportation, what does that look like? Everybody keeps
asking that question, Dan Stein joins, US president of the
Federation for American Immigration Reform. In your mind, Dan, what
does mass deportation look like?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, mass deportation follows mass illegal immigration. And corollary, of
course is, as you said, the administration's going to establish
tiered priorities, right, because in the end you have to
rationalize resources. But with Tom Home and his borders are
now in the White House, nobody really understands better than
him the role that immigration Customs enforcement plays in prioritizing resources.
(00:42):
How you decide to go after people. So clearly, you
know you have to pick and choose, but you know,
the common sense position is that you've got you know,
several hundred thousand aliens in the country with who've basically
been ordered deported, They've had their process in court, and
they've never left the country. So they're are bally going
to be an easy priority, minimum amount of procedural process
(01:04):
to remove them. You're going to go find them and
to get them out of the country. Secondly, of course,
American people obviously in this election said they're concerned about
criminal gangs like Trendoga from Venezuela MS. Thirteen. I mean
establishing themselves in this country. A lot of these folks
are here either illegally or they were parolled in without
(01:25):
proper criminal vetting by the Biden administration. Clearly, they're going
to be a priority for removal aliens with criminal convictions.
And you're likely to see, of course, the reimposition of
the Trump executive orders that Biden repealed in his first
one hundred days on things like mandatory detention for asylum
seekers remain in Mexico, using trade leverage to get cooperation
(01:47):
from or chalcetson countries down in South America, Latin America,
Central America. And then of course you know with home
and there you're going to see a very aggressive stance
against these so called sanctuary jurisdictions states and cities and
getting the cooperation of state and local police to hand
(02:08):
over criminal aliens as they're released from prison. And after that,
of course, then you're going to start looking at and
this is probably maybe next year twenty twenty six, looking
at all these aliens who are parolled into the country
on mirror asylum claims when the law is perfectly clear
that that's not lawful. It's abuse of parole, and which
is why we have millions and millions of people here
(02:30):
effectively illegally because parole is not legally being admitted into
the country. You're still basically here illegally under parole. This
kind of stuff can be accelerated because, you know, making
an asylum claim knowing that you're not going to get
a hearing for years in advance means that most of
these folks really don't have legitimate asylum claims. Well, you
just brought them down the road.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You just brought up a great point though about waiting
for years to hear the cases. That's one of the
big issues, right, How are you going to make sure
we have enough immigration judges and people in bawd in
the system to get those days in court.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, the advantage of having a Republican Congress is they can,
you know, ask for kind of budget increases to do that.
There's no reason why an asylum claim has to be
decided by an immigration judge. But even so, you can
increase the number of administrative adjudication officers to handle these
asylum clanes quickly. In most cases, you start by the
first claims, the last claims coming in to adjudicate those first,
(03:26):
get them out of the country. Then you start working
your way through through the backlog. But there's no question
about it, this is going to be a full resourced operation.
And the fact that he's appointed Home and to direct
this thing from the White House to try to coordinate
the multi agency process, you know, means that this is
going to be, you know, a full court proposition.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Let me but try let me ask you this before
we run out of time here, because we're rapidly doing that.
And one of the big problems, obviously it has been illustrated,
is the cartel trade, not only in human trafficking and smuggling,
but also in in fentanyl. How do we get what
resources might a Trump administration put to work? Do you
think as far as taking care of the cartel and
(04:08):
the drug problems, Well.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know what he did so effectively in Trump won
was to leverage trade relations with Mexican government to help
them take on the cartels. I mean, the cartels have
been using the Biden administration's policies to accelerate the introduction
or fentanyl because by trafficking in mass aliens coming across
the border. The border patrol was distracted through processing. That's
(04:34):
when the cartels bringing the fentanyl. So once you shut
down the flow come across the border, you know that
takes the cartels out of the smuggling business and then
you have a better opportunity to control the border. And
then getting the cooperation of the Mexican military and perhaps
even working cooperatively with our military, we can start taking
these cartels and getting them out of business. Because you
(04:55):
know this is going to require strong bilateral cooperation and
this is something Trump has shown herself to be very
effective at.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Right, sir, we have to leave it at that for today,
but thank you appreciate it. President. At the Federation for
American Immigration Reform, that is dan Stein, it is seven
