- The newly elected president of the United States promised, during his campaign, several measures to stop migration
The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump‘s proposal for mass deportations and assured that these will begin with migrants who have criminal records.
Trump, who won the victory in the elections against Vice President Kamala Harris, he promised during his campaign to expel from the country more than 11 million people living without legal status in the United States.
“It will do what almost all Americans agree it will do: start with the criminals who are here,” Abbott said at a press conference on October 7.
According to the governor, deportations are a process that will begin with “criminal” migrants: “After he finishes that, he will look at other places.”
To implement the migrant expulsion plan, Trump promised to invoke a 1798 law that has only been used in times of war.
That law was used during World War II by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945) to establish detention centers where thousands of Japanese migrants and their descendants born in the United States were detained.
A recent calculation by the American Immigration Council (AIC) estimates that the United States would spend $3.15 billion to deport 13 million undocumented migrants.
Trump’s immigration proposals
Trump, during his campaign rallies, maintained his policy against “illegal immigrants” in his speech. In addition to mass deportations, he also promised to build centers for the detention of undocumented foreigners entering the country.
The Republican has insisted that he is not against people from other countries coming to the United States, but they must do so legally.
Stephen Miller, the main ideologue of Trump’s proposals, explained that to carry out mass deportations, the federal government would ask for help from the reservists of the National guard.
According to Miller, Trump would deploy the Armed Forces to the border with Mexico to automatically deport those who try to cross.
Trump has cited as an example, on several occasions, mass deportations known as Operation Wetback, carried out in 1954 by then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The Republican campaign also hinted at plans to build large centers where migrants would wait to be deported with continuously scheduled expulsion flights.
Another measure by Trump to stop migration is to impose tariffs of up to 100% on Mexico if it fails to stop migration to the United States.
In a pre-election speech, Trump signaled that he could use the tariffs to pressure Mexico over its management of the border.

The Republican specifically referred to the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, saying that on the first day of his mandate he will inform her that if he does not stop the “arrival of criminals and drugs into the country” he will impose 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports.
“If that doesn’t work, I’ll raise it to 50% and if it doesn’t work to 75%, then I’ll raise it to 100%,” highlighted the elected president.
