By Jeremy Beck

More Americans support President Trump’s policy to deport people in the country illegally than any other issue. 58% of all Americans support President Trump’s policy to “deport immigration illegally in the U.S.,” according to a CBS / YouGov poll. The administration needs funding to continue to enforce the law. The budget resolution vote this week is crucial to provide the needed funding to secure the border and deport illegal aliens.

In his article for UnHeard, “The progressive case for Trump’s deportations,” Juan David Rojas says Democrats should follow the advice of the late Democratic icon Barbara Jordan, who said “For the [immigration] system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process”.  But Rojas also offers another approach that is necessary … Continued

287(g) – a force multiplier

The 287(g) program allows state and local police to identify illegal aliens during the course of their daily duties. 287(g) gets its name from Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act that designates that authority.
