‘This is what the people want’: Resistance to Trump’s Deportation Plan is WEAKENING; For Many People in This Small Town, Deportations Can’t Come Soon Enough

‘This is what the people want’: Resistance to Trump’s deportation plan is WEAKENING:

Donald Trump made some serious promises to the American people, and while some question his ability to keep them, Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” believes he’ll make good on these promises — specifically regarding mass deportations.

“I think they’ll go pretty big,” Burguiere says. “He was re-elected largely, partially, based on his border stance and how poorly the border went under Joe Biden. And so he’s going to be, I think pretty, aggressive on this.”

And Tom Homan is only confirming Stu’s belief.

The incoming border czar told residents of Chicago this week that mass deportations would start in the Windy City, whose mayor, Brandon Johnson, has said he plans to protect illegal immigrants from federal agents.

“Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks, and your governor sucks,” Homan said, not mincing words. “If he doesn’t want to help,” he continued, singling out Johnson, “get the hell out of the way.”

“Now, the way the immigration law is set up, and this is a little confusing and at times makes things difficult, cities cannot get in the way. Brandon Johnson is a moron, and he cannot get in the way, not legally at least. What he can do is just not help,” Burguiere explains.

“If you happen to arrest someone for, let’s say theft, you could say, ‘Hey, by the way, not only do we have you on theft, but we also have you on this border violation. We’re going to send you to the authorities for that.’ They could easily participate in that type of situation, and that’s really what the Trump administration is asking for,” he continues. —>READ MORE HERE

WSJ: For Many People in This Small Town, Deportations Can’t Come Soon Enough:

Willard Everhart was incensed. After seeing this small town receive hundreds of migrants in recent years, he heard about a proposal to create an immigrant welcome center that he thought would bring even more. He joined other critics of the plan at a city council meeting in late March that drew hundreds of people, producing a line that snaked down the street.

Mayor Matt Nicholson opened the meeting by saying he wanted to clear up misinformation circulating online about the proposal—part of a broader economic-development agenda the city was considering—such as the notion that the center would be a magnet for more unauthorized migrants. The gathering quickly grew raucous, as residents who packed the room unleashed a torrent of criticism and at one point chanted, “Shut it down!”

“I do not support this agenda, not in any way, shape or form,” said Everhart, a 73-year-old retired environmental-affairs director and lifelong Seymour resident, during his turn at the lectern. “We do not need this in Seymour.”

Seymour, which is still reeling from the March meeting and its aftermath, is one of many cities across the U.S. feeling the effects of a historic wave of immigration, where residents seeking to integrate migrants are clashing with others calling for them to be rooted out and sent home.

Such residents have complained for years that a flood of unauthorized migrants under the Biden administration strained schools, hospitals and housing. Now, with President-elect Donald Trump promising to conduct mass deportations and shut down illegal border crossings, the pro-crackdown forces are feeling emboldened. They are organizing opposition to illegal immigration online and in local government meetings and pushing for new legislation and action at the state level.

“Trump brought hope,” said Dana Clark, 66, who also spoke at the city council meeting. “Day one is going to see the biggest deportation ever.”

Seymour, with a population of about 22,000, is a conservative town an hour’s drive south of Indianapolis, whose surrounding county, Jackson, voted 77% for Trump in the election and has backed Republicans in presidential elections for decades. It is the birthplace of singer John Mellencamp, who sang about his experiences growing up here in his 1985 hit “Small Town.”

Incorporated in the 1860s, Seymour sits at the intersection of two major railroads. Jobs are plentiful at large manufacturers such as auto-parts suppliers and agricultural businesses, including the country’s second-largest egg producer.

Jackson County’s unemployment rate was 3.3% in October, compared with 4.4% statewide. Median household income in Seymour was $63,000 and the homeownership rate 57% in 2023, both below statewide averages.

The hunger for labor has long drawn immigrants, who began arriving in significant numbers in the 1990s, mainly from Mexico, Guatemala and other Central American countries. For most of the period since, the flow of arrivals was manageable and generated few flashpoints, residents say. —>READ MORE HERE (or HERE)
