Undocumented migrants fear Trump’s ‘largest deportation programme’

For undocumented migrants across the US, fears – of a knock on the door from the authorities, of potential separation from their children, of the loss of the lives they’ve built up here – are becoming very real.
 

As Donald Trump takes office for a second time, people across the US are about to find out what his policies look like in reality.

During a heated election campaign, there was one promise Trump repeated at every rally –  to launch the “largest deportation programme in American history”, in a bid to drastically reduce the number of undocumented migrants, and deter illegal crossings at the southern border.

Deportations on that scale would likely face huge logistical, financial and legal hurdles, and there’s been much speculation about how they could work in practice.

One thing is certain, though: for America’s estimated eleven million undocumented migrants, Trump’s plans are a source of major concern.

Many of them have lived in the US for years, building lives and carrying out low-paid work that most American citizens avoid.

What they should have feared was sneaking into this country illegally in the first.  But there was no need to be fearful with Biden and the democrats in charge of border laxity.

Good, and so should the NGO's that trafficked them into the US, and the employers who employ them.

If we are still a nation of laws, and those laws are faithfully executed, all outbound flights should be fully booked.

If Congress is so damned concerned about the impact, they can legislate solutions.
