President-elect Trump has vowed mass deportation of 15 to 20 million people thought to be in the United States illegally. Red state governors are squarely behind Trump, while blue state governors and the liberal mainstream media are screaming bloody murder that Trump is Hitler, deportation is inhumane and that it will effect everything from farming to food.
I was reading back through old files and I came across an article I wrote on November 13, 2016. Trump had just been elected the first time, as the 45th President of the United States. You might smile when you realize the beginning of my article read, “Today’s Hoopla: Trump vows to deport millions of undocumented immigrants immediately.”

When we hear Trump talk about using the military to assist with deportation, and when we hear his new border czar Tom Homan suggest that people self-deport, my article below makes total sense. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And the more we realize we are in a narrative war fueled by the mainstream media. If only they would lay out the truth, plain and simple, as I have below, things would be so much clearer and easier. Here is my 2016 article in its entirety.

The Sunday Morning TV political interviews resulted in many print headlines about President-elect Donald Trump’s intention to deport millions of illegals with criminal records. The screams from the liberals have already steadily increased to a roar, which made me scratch my head. If an American entered any foreign country in the world without legal paperwork, they would be deported, even if they had no criminal record. Why has America not followed the same rules?
I decided to do a little digging into the process of deportation. Would it be possible to deport millions of undocumented illegals from the country, all at the same time? Has this been done before? Is there a legal precedent for this?
Interestingly, there is.
In the late 1990s, Congress passed laws to deport and punish foreign-born people who enter and remain in the U.S. unlawfully—that is, without a visa, green card, or other official permission. Two methods are available to LEGALLY remove illegal residents: Returns, referred to as ‘voluntary departures’ and Removals, the formal process of deportation.
- A return is “the confirmed, voluntary removal of a non-citizen, ordered to leave the country, but not ordered via formal deportation proceedings.” The person must leave within 60 or 120 days. This allows time to button up current affairs: sell real estate, terminate leases, close bank accounts, make future living arrangements, etc. If they have been an illegal resident for 180 to 364 days, they could be barred from returning for up to 3 years.
Voluntary departure does not carry with it the stigma of deportation, but very few criteria are available for a long-time illegal resident to appeal for “voluntary departure.” Obviously, this option is not available to felons, those with criminal records or those who have been engaged in terrorist activities. The government prefers to use voluntary departure, when possible, to save the cost associated with deportation, which is not inconsequential. For example, in 2010 ICE deported almost 393,000 people. At nearly $12,500 per person, the government cost was nearly $5 billion, a cost that can be attributed to not controlling the borders in the first place.
A removal is “the confirmed, compulsory departure of a non-citizen based on an order of deportation from an immigration judge or official.” The person must leave by an exact date, usually within 30 days. A deported non-citizen may not return to the U.S. for up to 20 years, or may even be permanently banned, depending on the reason for deportation.
