Trump has promised to round up the roughly 2,000,000 felon illegal aliens and deport them. He has promised deport those already in prison when their sentences end. It seems that most on this board agree with that policy, certainly most Americans agree.
The question is, how does he do it? As I see the options, they include:
1. Expand ICE greatly to round up criminal aliens starting in big cities and with the gangs. They are the most dangerous. Work with local law enforcement to the extent they will help. (Sanctuary cities will be a big problem).
2. Expand ICE so that when a felon alien is arrested, starting in big cities, ICE can take immediate control. Don't wait on the local police to notify ICE since many sanctuary cities won't do that.
3. Use the national guard to back up ICE in the round up, starting in big cities and with gangs.
4. Take a softer approach. Give the illegal aliens a year to register/apply for a green card. If they meet certain criteria (have a job, no felony record, won't use our social safety net, pay a fine, no pathway to citizenship, etc.), give them a green card. After that year, any illegal arrested is subject to immediate deportation. Station ICE agents starting in big cities to take control upon these arrests.
Any others?
