If you're gonna call him out for the debt tell us what you'd have him do and please only propose things that are possible, things that have enough public support to ge through Congress. You know, like the SAVE Act which has 80% support and still failed.

Good luck. We're rooting for you.

The DHS reports over 2 million deportations which includes self-deportations. None of which would have happened if Trump didn't turn up the pressure.

Not counted are the untold numbers that have stopped trying to cross which leaves us with an effectively closed border to illegal aliens.

Not by accident. Data centers and AI are being pushed as a giant political Op by China and other special interests that all have the purpose of slowing down America and probably also putting Dems into power in the house so all US government activity grinds to a halt from investigations and budget wars.

Hmmmm…

House Republicans passed over 70 bills this week alone — that adds to our total of over 900 bills passed through the House so far this Congress.

We’ve DELIVERED for Americans by:

🇺🇸 Enacting the largest middle and working class tax cut in US history
🇺🇸 Creating new incentives… pic.twitter.com/kAHmT0hoex

— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) September 17, 2026

I wonder what are in those 70 bills and if a single one will make it through the Senate.

So tired of the did nothing narrative. It is bull*****

The president must follow the law. He must use existing and funded resources and personnel. He must overcome legal obstacles lawfully and within the process. Hundreds of times apparently. He has limitations: border patrol and ICE, even beefed up with other agencies, are only a few thousands of agents and officers that have other duties, and must handle the process from planning, coordination, resource management, legal processes, investigations, capture, transportation, feeding and housing, etc. it is.a colossal task in a nation with 20 million. Illegals hiding amongst 330 million citizens and legal residents and millions of those citizens passively or actively trying to block them from being removed.

It's amazing that we've been able to block, turn around, or remove over 1.5 million so far. Hopefully more will follow. Even more critical, nearly all of the inflow is deterred or stopped. VISA overstays are now the biggest problem.

Let a Dem in the whitehouse and that ALL gets reversed.

Trump has been one of the best presidents in history as far securing our border and deporting illegals. A significant number of Obama's numbers were "turn aways". In Trump's case, theu aren't even trying to cross in the first place.

There's plenty of things to criticize Trump for, but not being tough enough on immigration is comparing him to a standard zero presidents could pass.

I decided to ask Claude how many actual deportations have taken place.


FY2026 runs Oct 1, 2025 Sept 30, 2026. Through mid-July 2026, ICE had carried out more than 350,000 removals, with the total number of deportations so far this fiscal year at 356,389 according to numbers posted by ICE.
At the pace recorded through early April 2026 (about 1,266 removals/day), ICE was on track to exceed 460,000 removals for the full fiscal year which would be well above FY2025's 319,980 total removals and FY2024's 248,739.

Broader administration total (NYT analysis, as of late January 2026)

About 230,000 people deported after being arrested inside the country, plus about 270,000 more at the border, plus roughly 40,000 people who "self-deported" through a stipend program bringing the total to about 540,000 in Trump's first year, which was actually fewer than the last two years of the Biden administration.
