The current administration has reached a boiling point regarding the lackluster pace of illegal alien deportations, and it’s not just Border Czar Tom Homan who’s scratching his head in frustration. President Trump is less than pleased with the low deportation numbers, which are causing him to contemplate the unthinkable: dipping into the Department of Defense budget. That’s right, the DOD could soon pivot from securing our nation against foreign threats to helping clean up the illegal immigration mess that the previous administration seemed to enjoy creating.
Sources close to the situation indicate that President Trump is looking at engaging defense contractors to ramp up enforcement operations. This bold move could translate to expanded immigrant arrests and deportations across the country. With the right funding, temporary detention facilities could pop up like wildflowers, utilizing tent camps and possibly even increasing the number of planes used to send these unwanted guests back to their countries. It’s all about clearing out the criminal elements—those who have overstayed their welcome and shown absolute disdain for America’s laws.

To bolster immigration enforcement, Homan has already called in agents from various federal agencies, including the FBI and DEA. However, even with additional manpower, the deportation numbers still fall short of expectations, leaving both Homan and Trump rather irate. It’s almost comical how the lofty promises made during Trump’s inauguration about deporting “millions and millions” of illegal aliens seem to be getting lost in a bureaucratic Bermuda Triangle of foot-dragging.
Coupled with the discontent around deportations is the ongoing budget shortfall experienced by ICE. The agency has a modest capacity of around 40,000 beds for detained immigrants at one time—hardly an operable number to handle the flood of illegals crossing the border since President Biden took office. If Congress doesn’t step up to the plate to allocate more funds, the future for enforcement operations looks grim, and the Democrats could continue to obstruct meaningful change.
The situation is clear: enforcing immigration laws is not just a bureaucratic exercise; it is a national security priority. The crisis, which many argue has been wholly manufactured by Democrats, needs a swift remedy. People are ready to see consequences for illegal behavior. The American public largely supports robust mass deportations, and any outcry from those upset about it doesn’t seem to hold much weight. With the right moves from the Trump administration now, the country could see significant changes in the immigration landscape ahead, whether the left likes it or not.
