The other point, though, about this is that in reality, the way it works on the ground is that when you have more aliens in your facility than there are caseworkers to interview them, the difference between those two populations gets released.

Yeah, there are about 1.4 million migrants in the U.S. today that have received formal deportation orders, which means they've been ordered by a court to leave the country. Stephen Camerota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, talked to Fox News recently, and he said that this backlog means that the Biden administration has been very unserious about border issues.

The Biden approach has been to greatly expand legal pathways for entries, such as parole. But then when immigrants' temporary access is up, they're protected and provided for through a network of local and state governments and NGOs. Sanctuary city laws are a good example of this.

According to Camerata, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, should still have a good idea of where these aliens with deportation orders are. After all, they have to provide a legitimate address and contact information if they want to get work permits, driver's licenses, most documents one needs in order to live and work in the U.S.

The fact that so many aliens have yet to be deported indicates a lack of willingness to deport on behalf of the federal government.

Well, take New York City, for example. It has laws that guarantee a so-called right to shelter. Practically, that means taxpayers are on the hook to provide shelter for the city's homeless, which recently has included tens of thousands of immigrants.

The city has rented out thousands of hotel rooms, taken over schools, gymnasiums, places of worship, sports fields, anywhere it can find space to shelter immigrants. It's also paid for one-way tickets for any immigrant in the city to relocate elsewhere. As long as they promise not to come back. That program, which the city calls reticketing, has been the subject of some controversy.

It's believed to be the program that Jose Ibarra used to get to Georgia. He is the illegal immigrant with alleged ties to Trende Aragua who was convicted of murdering Georgia nursing student Lakin Riley. That means New York taxpayers paid for Ibarra to fly to Atlanta where he murdered Lakin instead of paying for a ticket out of the country. New York City has done this with many others.

Mayor Eric Adams last week said that the reticketing program has relocated some 43,000 immigrants out of New York. But there are still huge numbers of criminal illegal aliens in the city. According to New York City's ICE director, it would take decades to remove them from the city at the current rate.

Well, according to Camerata, with serious effort, Trump's administration could probably deport somewhere between a third and one half of those 1.4 million. That's not a failure on Trump's part. That's just the reality of where the U.S. immigration system is right now. A problem that's been decades in the making won't likely be solved in just a few years.

But Trump will be facing a less than ideal scenario when he takes office. The Democratic Party has taken up the mantle of illegal aliens, and elected officials are already lining up to resist Trump's mass deportation plan. This was after Mayor Mike Johnston said he would use Denver police to keep ICE agents out of the city.
