The United States could reach 2 million deportations by 2025, suggests the New York Post

 

President Donald Trump is continuing his deportation efforts at a steady pace despite growing protests against immigration enforcement and is beginning to make progress, according to a new analysis.

In just five months, the undocumented immigrant population in the United States has dropped by approximately one million, putting the Trump team on track to push through more than two million deportations this year, even without (so far) increasing ICE resources,” the New York Post Editorial Board noted Friday.

“This is due in part to high-profile arrests and expulsions of child abusers and murderers, of course, but also to a huge number of 'self-deportations' as undocumented immigrants realize their chances of staying are rapidly diminishing,” the Post editorial board continued.

“This good news also suggests that Trump had good instincts when he recently called for a reduction in workplace raids, which, anyway, don't appear to be catching the most recent border crossers,” the op-ed stated./CBrief
