CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 14, 2024
NOW THAT PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP HAS NAMED FORMER ICE DIRECTOR TOM HOMAN AS HIS “BORDER CZAR,” WILL THERE BE MASS DEPORTATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO CROSSED THE BORDER ILLEGALLY? I DOUBT IT BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE PUBLIC RELATIONS AND POLITICAL DAMAGE IT COULD BRING.
HERE’S WHAT WILL GET PUBLIC SUPPORT. TRUMP HAS SAID HE INTENDS TO RENEW THE REMAIN IN MEXICO POLICY WHILE MIGRANT CLAIMS OF PERSECUTION ARE INVESTIGATED. THIS WOULD INCLUDE PROPER VETTING TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS OR COMING HERE SOLELY FOR ECONOMIC REASONS. HE MUST ALSO REDUCE THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL DRUGS, ESPECIALLY FENTYNAL WHICH HAS KILLED MORE THAN 100 THOUSAND AMERICANS.
THE PUBLIC FAVORS FINISHING THE BORDER WALL AND OTHER PROCEDURES TO KEEP ILLEGALS OUT. LAST MONTH TRUMP WAS ASKED BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WHETHER HE WOULD DEPORT EVERYONE HERE ILLEGALLY. HE SAID HE WOULDN’T GO AFTER GRANDMOTHERS AND JUDGES WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE SOME CASES.
MIGRANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN GAMING THE SYSTEM AND IT MUST STOP. STOP THE INVASION, AND DEAL HUMANELY, BUT LAWFULLY, WITH THOSE ALREADY HERE SHOULD BE THE GOAL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
