I don't know if you've even heard this.
Half, 800,000 of all aliens under final removal orders in the United States right now have a criminal history.
That's a significant number of people for ICE to go picking up.
But here's the other side of that equation.
Most of the people that you talk to, that you've talked to, are much like the people that I've talked to.
They support immigration enforcement, but they don't like necessarily what they have been looking at.
But, you know, there are a lot of other people that I talk to who want to see full enforcement.
They like to see, you know, officers running around Home Depot.
They like to see Border Patrol agents a thousand miles away from the border in a parking lot in Chicago.
And so it's a very, you know, tight balance that the Trump administration has to go through.
to on the one hand satisfy their base and on the other hand you know get those you know uncommitted voters and bring them along with the policy and here's really the disconnect mike if you follow you know the the strategy that tom homan has laid out you're actually going to you know encourage if not physically remove the vast majority of aliens who are lawfully present in the united states
Because if dad is a criminal and he gets deported, mom and the kids are probably going to go too.
And other people in the neighborhood are going to think, well, ICE might come after me next.
So there's a reason that, you know, Tom went into Minnesota, that he implemented the plan that he had there, that it's been effective, that it's almost, and it's curious, you know, when you think about Tom, home and borders are different.
Being the savior that many people, you know, on the center and, you know, on the center right have been looking for, you know, it really just sort of, you know, reveals how far off of balance, you know, some of the earlier things that we saw were, but they're definitely effective now.
Yeah.
Of course I can, Mike.
Let me begin with the fact that the Biden administration actually kept pretty good records on the people that it apprehended and released into the United States.
So 2.9 million people almost were paroled into the United States under the Biden administration.
We have their pictures.
