Trump is ready to use the military to deport illegal migrants…
During an exclusive interview with Time Magazine, Donald Trump stressed his belief that the United States is being invaded — and he’s prepared to deliver on his mass deportation policy stance.
“We will be using local law enforcement,” Trump told Time. “And we will absolutely start with the criminals that are coming in. And they’re coming in in numbers that we’ve never seen before.”
“But I think in terms of the National Guard. But if I thought things were getting out of control, I would have no problem using the military, per se,” he later added. “We have to have safety in our country. We have to have law and order in our country. And whichever gets us there, but I think the National Guard will do the job.”
The Posse Comitatus Act prevents using the military against civilians — but Trump says illegal migrants aren’t civilians. “[W]ell, these aren’t civilians. These are people that aren’t legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country. An invasion like probably no country has ever seen before. They’re coming in by the millions. I believe we have 15 million now. And I think you’ll have 20 million by the time this ends. And that’s bigger than almost every state.”
“I can see myself using the National Guard and, if necessary, I’d have to go a step further,” he continued. “We have to do whatever we have to do to stop the problem we have. Again, we have a major force that’s forming in our country, when you see that over the last three weeks, 29,000 people came in from China, and they’re all fighting age, and they’re mostly males. Yeah, you have to do what you have to do to stop crime and to stop what’s taking place at the border.”
According to a new poll from Axios, more Americans than ever are coming around to the idea of mass deportations for illegal migrants — a big policy promise of former President Donald Trump.
