Speaker Mike Johnson says up to 4.5M migrants will be ‘first priority’ for mass deportation
Story by Josh Christenson • 17h


Should former President Donald Trump win back the White House, as many as 4.5 million migrants who entered the US illegally will be a “first priority” for deportation, House Speaker Mike Johnson told The Post in an exclusive interview.

Trump, 78, has already floated the removal of “nearly 20 million” migrants if he becomes the 47th president — and his closest ally in the House sees an opportunity to fast-track the removal of the most dangerous of the lot.
 
“There’s about 4.5 million who would be the first priority for that, people who’ve already committed crimes,” Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday. “They’re in the system now [for] shoplifting, or whatever it is … or [having] done things that are untoward or unlawful.”

While the figure quoted by Johnson is far higher than any federal records show, Republicans have noted that the Harris-Biden administration is consistently low-balling immigration stats and ignoring nearly 2 million known “gotaways” who evaded arrest when coming into the country.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why wait?  Why not pass the an appropriations bill now so the deportations can start the 1st day of the next Presidential Term?
