President Trump, and his nominee for “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, have made it clear they are dead-serious about deporting millions of violent criminals who are also criminal aliens.
They intend to start with the nearly 1.5 million criminal aliens already served with Orders of Deportation who have either not left America or who have snuck back in across Biden’s remarkably porous border over the past four years. Their initial target, according to Vice President-elect J.D.Vance, will be 1.0 million criminal aliens per year, focusing on those already legally ordered to leave America and not return.

Critics, including those cited by CNN recently, allege that the costs of just one million deportees would be in the neighborhood of $1.0 trillion, a preposterous sum.
It has been made up, apparently, of a combination of hot air and fevered dreams.
These same critics claim that deporting even 1.0 million criminal aliens who already have valid Orders of Deportation would be impossible. President Obama had no trouble deporting that many and more during his term in office, giving lie to that claim as well.
They are trying to use pseudo-logical reasons – four of them – for why targets easily met by previous administrations won’t be met by Trump and Homan.
It is just wishful thinking of the kind that helped America become mired along the length and breadth of our borders with Mexico and Canada, as well as our open sea-frontier borders on the Atlantic, Gulf Coast and Pacific borders.
The following are four myths presented by Mr. Mastio, who supports my view that deportation is do-able, followed by my own analysis as to their flaws.
Deporting Criminal Aliens with Existing Orders of Deportation Would Cost Way Too Much
In several years during the first Obama term, that president’s team managed to deport a quarter-million criminal aliens per year. In 2009 and 2010, Obama budgeted just under $4.0 billion per year in 2024 dollar values for this deportation. Multiplying that number by a factor of four yields 1.0 million criminal aliens and quadrupling the budget for a full million aliens would come to roughly $16.0 billion per year, for 1.0 million criminal aliens per year. This is hardly $1.0 trillion, as some critics claim.
Even if the budget gets out of hand and soars to double those numbers, we’d still be under $32.0 billion per year. And, in roughly 18 months, we will have deported – physically, and not just “legally” – 1.5 million pre-convicted criminal aliens already deported – at a sum not to exceed $48.0 billion. That’s a far cry from the $1.0 trillion Trump and Homan’s critics have trumpeted about in their frenzy to create numbers too high to be considered.
The second myth, that we don’t know who to deport, is even more flawed than the budget-busting estimate offered by the Far Left. Why? Because each of the first 1.5 million or so criminal aliens will have already been through the existing legal process for deportation, followed by a judge of competent jurisprudence giving those aliens a valid Order of Deportation.
These people already have photos, fingerprints, DNA and other incriminating evidence, such as prominent gang tattoos, to help Homan and ICE to find them and send them packing. Having already been convicted, the process is no more difficult than:
A. Identifying the individual
B .Linking the individual with an outstanding Order of Deportation
And that, as they say, is that. Unlike the huge budget deficits that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are pursuing, this isn’t rocket science. ICE and local law enforcement (LEO) agencies will have some significant thousands of these people incarcerated within the United States. As for the rest, they are far from impossible to locate and take into custody.
