Trump administration targets 2,000 daily migrant removals
Trump admin wants to get criminal migrants off the street at a rate of nearly 2,000 per day, reports Fox News. The station noted that immigration enforcement and police raids will become even more frequent, as authorities are aware of the names and addresses of those who need to be deported. "We've got 20 plus million illegal aliens in this country," vice president Vance emphasised.
American Vice President J.D. Vance announced in an interview with Fox News that the White House has an "ambitious" goal of removing criminal migrants from the streets "at a rate of nearly 2,000 per day."
- If you think [about it], we've got 20 plus million illegal aliens in this country. We have got to get these people out of our country and regain control of our own border - he said on the station.
Situation at the Mexican border. The "Trump effect" is visible
The number of migrants arriving at the southern border has drastically dropped by over 60 per cent since Trump took office last week.
Data collected by Fox News Digital shows that in the first seven days of Trump's administration, about 7,200 people attempted to enter the USA, while in the last seven days of former President Biden's administration, this number was over 20,000.
- I guarantee we're going to cut it even further. (...) Policy matters. Elections have consequences and President Trump ran explicitly on regaining control of the border and redelivering American prosperity. That's exactly what we're doing - Vance said.
Migrants are being repatriated to their home countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, and Ecuador.
Vance reveals government awareness of addresses
Vance criticised what he called the leftist "hysteria" regarding mass deportations. He pointed out that Donald Trump received a mandate of trust from the American people.
Asked about actions against migrants, the vice president stated that "that's how democratic politics in this country works and thank God for that."
Vance also revealed how actions regarding the arrests of criminal migrants were conducted. In some cases, the United States government knew their names and addresses. "We just needed to send somebody to go to their house and get them the hell out of the country," he said.
He criticised the previous government for not solving the problem earlier.
- We haven't done anything until about eight days ago when Donald Trump became the President of the United States again. It really should shock the conscience of the American people - Vance assessed.
