Employers realize that they could be shut down with a raid if they're hiring illegal workers, so they start doing their due diligence. In legal aliens who are sort of your regular people who came here for the opportunity of the catch and release program, but get their work permits rescinded are going to say, you know, I've had a good run here. I've saved some money. I don't want to be arrested.
I don't want to be separated from my family. So it's time to start planning my return home. And, you know, we find that just as many people leave on their own as actually get physically removed by ICE. And that's really the humane way to do it. I don't want to see ICE having to go door to door, picking up grandmothers on their way to church.

That's not the kind of enforcement that's going to happen. But Americans really want to see our laws enforced and have confidence in that we can have a robust legal immigration program where more people are coming legally than illegally, and hopefully not many at all coming illegally. And it will take time to get to that, but it's not going to require Gestapo tactics to get it done.

But that's where the Trump administration needs to hit back and say, look, we're going after gang members. We're going after employers who are completely abusing these trafficked workers. We're going after drug dealers. And if they can keep on message with that and on task with that, then I think they're going to maintain public support.

Any so-called detention camps or temporary detention facilities, I think really the intent for that is to be at the border so that they can stop catching and releasing people. Instead, they can keep them in custody near the border and return them quickly. I don't think they contemplate that kind of situation within the interior of the country. I'm not sure the public really would support that.

They want the laws enforced, but they want it done in a humane way, not in a way that seems cruel. I don't think we're going to see county jails full of high school kids or something like that. That just wouldn't make sense.

People need to understand that it's almost impossible to vet anyone who's just coming across the border illegally. We have to take them at their word for their identity and their behavior in wherever they were living before.
