CBS’ 60 Minutes ran a lengthy outline earlier this evening consisting of questions to former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan about how President Trump will deport millions of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s illegal aliens. [Article with Video Here]
The sympathetic CBS framework is essentially what you would expect: (1) the illegal aliens are earnest people, part of a poor huddled mass; and (2) there’s no humanitarian way to deport millions of them. [Video Segment] Tom Homan does a great job dispatching the narrative engineers of CBS.
Cecilia Vega asks: “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?”

“Of course there is. Families can be deported together,” says Tom Homan, head of ICE during Trump’s family separation policy. https://t.co/If9G1sNEzj pic.twitter.com/TIWhi25Vdu
There were an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in 2006. According to CBS the current number of illegal aliens is still 11 million. That’s their story and they are sticking to it.
VIA CBS – […] The American Immigration Council estimated that it could cost $88 billion annually to deport one million people a year. The removal of millions of construction, hospitality and agriculture workers could reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.7 trillion.
Tom Homan, who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration, said he doesn’t know if the $88 billion a year cost estimate is accurate, but he says mass deportation is necessary.
“What price do you put on national security? Is it worth it?” Homan said. (read more)
Now, let’s cut this elephant into bite sized morsels to explain just how a deportation process can work. First, you cut off all funding. Next, you present two policy options:
(1) Leave and reapply, for expedited consideration… or (2) stay, wait to get deported and then be subsequently barred from ever having the opportunity in the future.
Watch the self-deportation begin.
The enforcement mechanism has a 60-day period before beginning.
♦ For those who choose to self-deport, at the exit port they receive a biometric scan (same as current CPB/INS visa system) that registers them for expedited consideration in their home country. Only with the exit registration is the alien eligible for expedited consideration.
♦ For those who refuse to leave, as the employment eligibility system, criminal justice system and current Immigration and Naturalization Service laws are enforced and utilized to identify them. They are picked-up, deported and also receive a biometric scan that registers them as permanently disqualified from legal reentry.
Those who self-deport are the generally the registered aliens we would want to permit to hold legal reentry eligibility status. Those who refuse to self-deport are generally going to be the ones we would not want to hold legal eligibility status.
The cost of the USA deportation expense is covered by placing a 5% surcharge on all money services, outbound financial transfers and remittances via Western Union etc, to Mexico, Central and South America. These transfers of cash are called “remittances”. It is a simple proposal to use a Money Services Compliance action, via the U.S. Treasury (Banking Services and Secrecy Act), that would force a Western Union affidavit (or other institution) to be completed prior to the transfer.
The Money Services Compliance Affidavit simply requires the sender present valid ID and fill out a form prior to the transfer which identifies the sender as a legally authorized entity within the U.S. An identical system has been in place for decades for financial services and money transfers sent to Cuba, a Cuban Remittance Affidavit.
The process is well known in the banking and money services industry and is nothing more than a swearing of legality, along with documentation to verify (state issued ID), by the originating entity. For Cuban remittances there are also maximum amounts allowable for transfer.
President Trump previously pondered a similar finance mechanism for the U.S. southern border wall.
