The Art of Deception Wyatt Peterson - The Unz Review Feb 10, 2025
The daily totals through the first few weeks are nowhere near high enough to make even a slight dent in the number of illegals who have entered the US over the last eight years alone. At the current rate it would take 28 years to deport the 11 million people officially claimed to be in the country illegally, and Trump’s daily deportation total would have to hit at least 2,700 to reach even one million per year. In spite of his fervid campaign rhetoric, the highest single day arrest total since Trump took office is just over 1,100 and even that fell to a paltry 300 per day by late last week. NBC News reports:
“In order to fulfill Trump’s Inauguration Day promise of ‘millions and millions’ of deportations, the Trump administration would have to be deporting over 2,700 immigrants every day to reach 1 million in a year. And…arrests do not always equal immediate detentions, much less deportations. Of the more than 8,000 immigrants arrested in the first two weeks of the Trump administration, 461 were released, according to the White House.”
To distract from these lackluster numbers, the blustering border czar Tom Homan is routinely situated in front of television cameras to huff and puff and issue hollow threats to illegals about the imminent crackdown set to begin any day now. The final touch is added when news cameras capture footage of ICE agents in major cities going door-to-door giving the appearance of activity by the new administration, while the actual figures concerning arrests and deportations continue to fall. It seems the deception has been successful enough to satisfy a large portion of the MAGA base, many of whom can rarely be accused of investigating things too deeply.
Juxtaposed with Trump’s inability to enforce domestic policies is his considerable efficiency in supporting Israel.

I know Voltman had this in his latest post. I just felt it worthy to share on it's own. Keep them coming B-man. Satire that makes me cry.
