Mass deportation of illegal aliens is underway. President Trump has seen to that. Thousands of new ICE agents are being hired to help with the roundup, detention, and ultimate return to home countries the 10-20 million people or maybe even more in the United States illegally.
Indiana Governor Mike Braun and the Indiana General Assembly have directed all Indiana law enforcement agencies and the Indiana National Guard to assist ICE (US Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency) in all ways possible. Any persons arrested for law breaking for any reason and determined to be an illegal alien will be turned over to ICE.
The effort to remove illegal aliens (aka “undocumented immigrants”, “newcomers”, etc) from the United States was mandated by the citizens of the United States with the election of Donald J. Trump as President.
Indiana is helping with the management and removal of illegal aliens with the establishment of detention facilities at the Miami Co. Correction Facility, a medium security prison (“Speedway Slammer”), and at Camp Atterbury near Indianapolis. Each location is planned to be able to house up to about 1,000 detainees prior to their deportation to home countries.
Of course, the actions of ICE and of Indiana are being vocally criticized by left leaning, whining bleeding hearts as being inhumane. They simply do not know the difference between being a legal immigrant and an illegal one. Coming into the United States outside of a legal pathway makes one an “illegal” alien and one guilty of a US crime. Such persons do not have and should not have “rights” compared to a U.S. citizen. So, round them up, detain them, and out they go.
Really, no one really knows how many illegal aliens reside in Indiana. But for one community, there are strong clues. Logansport reported a couple of years ago there was a 30% increase in population in a two recent year period. Logansport is not known for being in a stage of significant economic growth and has not been. But, two meat processing plants are close by: Tyson and Indiana Packing Co.. Magnets for illegal alien employment? You decide. Logansport reported increased hospital loads and even cases of tuberculosis showing up. They, also, reported the possible establishment of night classes in high school for non-English speakers.
Logansport is not unique. Other communities have what appear to be increased numbers of illegal alien presence. One simply needs to see what is happening at schools, hospitals, and in the use of social services and benefits. The current 10-20 million illegal aliens are burdens to United States society, not assets. Even when productively employed —which is illegal for a non-citizen to be without proper immigration status or an Employment Authorization Document — aliens send part of earnings back to others in home countries typically via Western Union rather than spend those earnings in the United States to support domestic businesses.
So, it is time to return the United States to citizens. It is time for illegal aliens to either self-deport with the opportunity to return legally or to be rounded up, detained, and deported. No questions.
