Donald Trump Tells Joe Biden’s Parole Migrants: ‘Get Ready to Leave’; Trump Immigration Plan May End Deportation Safeguards For 2.7 Million

Donald Trump Tells Joe Biden’s Parole Migrants: ‘Get Ready to Leave’:

Donald Trump is promising to quickly send home the million-plus “parole” migrants who have been smuggled into the United States by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

The parole promise comes as Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris, who is preparing to make a TV-ready stop at the border. She is also expected to hide her pro-migration policies under vague language about law and order at the border.

“Get ready to leave,” Trump told Fox News when he was asked what message he would say to the more than 1 million parole migrants. “Especially quickly if they’re criminals, get ready to leave because you’re going to be going out real fast,” he added.

The statement is good news for American families now losing wages, jobs, housing, civic stability, and opportunities because of Mayorkas’ legally contested migration policy.

It is good news for the millions of alienated young Americans who have fallen out of the workforce — and who are being ignored by migrant-hiring companies.

It is also good news for the U.S. technology companies who will sell more productivity-boosting tools — software, robots, and production lines — to the CEOs who prefer to hire disposable migrants instead of training Americans to operate automated workplaces.

Trump slammed Mayorkas’s “parole pipeline” that has imported at least 1.3 million poor migrants from many countries, even though the migrants are “inadmissible” under Congress’s 1990 immigration law.

Many of the job-seeking parole migrants fly in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine, and elsewhere via commercial flights. These “CHNV” parole migrants get two-year visas to take jobs in the United States while separated from their families at home — much like President George W. Bush’s failed 2001 “Any Willing Worker” plan.

Trump Immigration Plan May End Deportation Safeguards For 2.7 Million:

Up to 2.7 million people will lose protection from deportation in a second Trump administration if Donald Trump ends current immigration safeguards. New data show individuals in Temporary Protected Status and other immigration programs could see their legal protection expire in the next two years. Trump officials could add millions of people to potential deportation rolls by allowing immigration safeguards, such as TPS, to end. Immigration enforcement personnel in a second Trump administration could find targeting long-time residents and workers an advantageous way to boost deportation numbers.

A Significant Number Of People At Risk

“Protection from deportation may expire for up to 2.7 million people within the next two years,” according to a National Foundation for American Policy analysis. “The vast majority face dismal prospects if forced to return to their birth countries, and obstacles in Congress mean legislation may not rescue even the most sympathetic groups.”

NFAP gathered the data from the Department of Homeland Security and other sources. The immigration programs and categories include Temporary Protected Status, humanitarian parole programs for Cubans, Venezuelans and others and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA. Some individuals paroled into the United States, such as Ukrainians, could also hold TPS. The 2.7 million does not include individuals on Deferred Enforced Departure from Liberia, Hong Kong and elsewhere, participants in smaller parole programs or people who received parole at ports of entry.

Donald Trump stated he intends to implement mass deportations of immigrants without legal status that include “sprawling camps.” Some have argued the plans will be difficult to implement. However, the existence and likely known whereabouts of millions of people who would lose protection from deportation during a second Trump administration adds credibility to the threat. Many of the up to 2.7 million people have lived in the United States for one to two decades or longer.

Economists have warned that reducing the supply of available workers through deportations or new immigration restrictions will harm U.S. workers and the economy. According to an analysis for the Peterson Institute for International Economics by George Mason University economics professor Michael Clemens, it is likely that for every one million unauthorized immigrant workers removed from the United States, 88,000 U.S.-born workers will be “driven out of employment.” Deporting three million unauthorized immigrant workers per year “would mean 263,000 fewer jobs held by U.S. native workers, compounded each additional year that mass deportations continue.”

Entrepreneurs will invest in fewer new businesses when “hit by sudden reductions to labor supply,” writes Clemens, and business owners will “invest their capital in other industries and in technologies that use lower-skill labor less intensively, reducing demand for U.S. workers too.” Fewer immigrant workers will also shrink the demand for U.S.-born workers due to less consumer spending on “grocery stores, leasing offices and other nontraded services.” According to the American Immigration Council, “Due to the loss of workers across U.S. industries, we found that mass deportation would reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by 4.2% to 6.8%.”

Temporary Protected Status

Today, 863,880 people live in the United States under Temporary Protected Status, notes the Congressional Research Service. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, “During a designated period, individuals who are TPS beneficiaries . . . are not removable from the United States; can obtain an employment authorization document; [and] may be granted travel authorization.”

TPS will expire in 2025 for 13 of the 16 countries, while the TPS designations for Haiti, Somalia and Yemen will end in 2026 unless extended. “The Trump administration is likely to terminate most if not all new TPS designations in addition to not renewing prior designations,” according to Elizabeth Carlson and Charles Wheeler, attorneys with CLINIC. Courts blocked attempts by Trump officials to eliminate TPS for at least 300,000 beneficiaries. However, the Ninth Circuit later vacated a lower court injunction, and legal avenues for helping people whose TPS designation has expired might prove fruitless in a second Trump administration. —>READ MORE HERE
