In a fiery speech in Dubuque, Iowa, President Donald Trump made a bold promise to tackle the immigration crisis at the southern border head-on. Trump, known for his tough stance on immigration, declared that he would carry out “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” With reports of thousands of migrants on open train cars in Mexico making their way to the US, Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation.
Calling it a “nation-wrecking catastrophe,” Trump highlighted the need to secure the southern border. He claimed that under his leadership, the US had the most secure border in history, but now it has the “worst border in the history of the world.” To address this, Trump vowed to be the only candidate who would “stop it cold on DAY ONE” if reelected. He also promised to terminate every Open Borders policy of the Biden administration and follow the Eisenhower Model to carry out a large-scale deportation operation.
The issue of illegal immigration has been a key focus for Trump throughout his political career. He has often referenced former President Dwight Eisenhower’s successful “Operation Wetback” in his speeches. Trump admires Eisenhower’s approach of moving illegal immigrants beyond the border and deterring them from returning. In November 2015, Trump praised Eisenhower’s efforts, saying, “They came back. Then moved them way south. They never came back.”

The skyrocketing number of illegal immigrants in the US is a cause for concern. A recent analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) revealed that there are nearly 17 million illegal immigrants in the country, an increase of 2.3 million since President Biden took office. This mass immigration comes at a cost of $163 billion a year for American taxpayers.
While the Biden administration has claimed to be making efforts to secure the border, the reality seems to be the opposite. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s recent statement that Biden has “done more to secure the border than anybody else” contradicts the ongoing border crisis. The dismantling and auctioning of portions of the border wall constructed under Trump further exacerbates the situation.
With millions of illegal crossings since Biden assumed office, the issue of border security is undeniable. The Biden administration’s failure to address this crisis effectively has led to the perception of open floodgates for illegal immigrants. The situation demands immediate action, and Trump’s promise to carry out a major deportation operation resonates with his conservative base and those concerned about the national security and economic implications of uncontrolled immigration.
