President Donald Trump inherited a nation that was invaded. The invaders were incentivized to stay and permitted to coast under the radar. His administration was forced to throw down the gauntlet and forcibly remove the people who were invited to stay by the Democrats. New data indicate that ICE has removed approximately 600,000 migrants since January, with over 2 million having left overall.

ICE warned that “this is just the beginning.” Over 1.6 million people voluntarily self-deported. They heard the warnings loud and clear. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin discussed how there were no consequences for invaders during the Biden Administration. Again, these people were INVITED to enter the nation by the Democrats. “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequences. Migrants are now even turning back before they reach our borders,” McLaughlin said.

FAIR, a conservative advocacy group, believes that the US government was paying $8,776 annually per illegal alien. The figure includes education ($78B), healthcare ($42.7B), and justice ($47B) among the costs to harbor non-citizens. That would place current savings at over $5.2 billion annually; however, migrants received different compensation packages depending on where they landed. The Heritage Foundation estimated the figure to be around $14,387 per household. No one ever determined how many migrants passed through the borders under Biden.

The latest ad campaign is urging migrants to leave willingly. Detention centers are avoidable. By now, anyone remaining in America illegally knows that they’re facing serious consequences for breaking US law.
