President-elect Donald Trump is making good on his campaign promises to implement sweeping immigration reforms, taking concrete steps toward a rigorous crackdown on undocumented immigrants and heightened border security. On Monday, he appointed two prominent figures known for their hardline stances to senior positions in the incoming administration. Stephen Miller, a former advisor and speechwriter during Trump’s first term, is expected to serve as deputy chief of staff, according to sources familiar with the selection. Miller, who played a key role in developing previous policies such as the travel ban on Muslim-majority countries and family separation at the border, will work under White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who co-managed Trump’s campaign. 

 

Tom Homan, a former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will assume the role of “border czar,” tasked with overseeing border security and deportation efforts. Trump announced Homan’s role on social media late Sunday, signaling the importance he places on the position. Homan is known for his uncompromising stance on immigration enforcement, and his role as “border czar” suggests a move toward intensified deportation operations. While spokespeople for Miller and the transition team declined to comment, the appointments reflect Trump’s intent to follow through on his campaign rhetoric.

 

In addition to his immigration team, Trump is expanding his foreign policy and national security roster. On Monday, he requested that Rep. Mike Waltz, a retired Army Green Beret and an outspoken critic of China, serve as national security advisor. Trump also intends to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio, known for his hawkish foreign policy stance, as secretary of state, according to sources. Rubio’s experience and position as a Florida Republican align with Trump’s goal of presenting a tougher stance on foreign affairs. 

 

Trump also named Rep. Elise Stefanik from New York as his pick for ambassador to the United Nations, along with former congressman Lee Zeldin, another New York Republican, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Each appointee brings a reputation for strong policy views, hinting at the potential for notable shifts in both foreign policy and environmental regulation.

 

Throughout his campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to close the U.S.-Mexico border and enact one of the largest deportation initiatives in American history. His plans include implementing a mass deportation strategy modeled after President Eisenhower’s 1950s-era “Operation Wetback,” which involved military-style tactics to remove migrant workers under hazardous conditions. While the scale of Trump’s proposed operation has raised logistical concerns—such as shortages of ICE officers, detention centers, and immigration judges—he remains undeterred.

 

In a post-election interview with NBC, Trump asserted his commitment to this sweeping immigration overhaul, regardless of the costs involved. “They’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here,” Trump said of undocumented immigrants. “There is no price tag.” His statement reinforces his determination to enforce strict immigration controls, sparking debate on the implications for immigrants and for those who will execute the plan.

Shortages which he ignored while POTUS and opposed POTUS Biden's plans to correct.

Trump will spend and spend. His tax reductions are not something the country can afford. His anticipated pending plans are pushing an expectation of higher inflation. Removing all illegal immigrants will cost many billions. Building the wall will cost 25 billion at last estimate. Forking out billions for Musk's pet projects as well.

Well at least we aren't going to commit 90 trillion to climate change. I wouldn't read too much into minor rate fluctuation

 

Tell that to those who are putting their money where their mouth is. Link to 90 trillion from a credible source?

Make a promise, keep a promise. Of course there was nothing Joe could do. 

But, I thought an Immigration reform bill was needed.

The great thing is if they are sincere about that and genuinely want to secure the border now we have a much better chance of a bill that is much stronger.Everybody wins.

One was needed, Trump killed it.

Trump wasn't in office. Now that he will be we will get something much stronger. No 5,000 illegals a day with a rolling week calendar. That was simply retarded.

Anyway back to the border. Homan was asked if it is possible to deport families without separating them. He replied....  of course it is, they can be deported together. 

A bit difficult if the family is a mixture of I immigrants and Americans.

 

Details matter!

I know. He killed the bill.

I was being sarcastic earlier. No bill was needed to stop the flow of illegals. Now that Trump is elected the caravans will slow down. Common sense will prevail. Wall construction can restart in strategic locations. First you get a handle on illegals entering and then you can concentrate on getting the illegals out.

No bill was needed to fund the increase in border control agents? Really? Do you know anything about government?

Tell me why border agents across America are ecstatic tonight? They are in high morale and basically super charged and ready to go now.

Without diaper duty. They can get back to the job they were hired to do.

 

But seriously, who is attracted to the job and who might get forced out if they don't hold the same values?
