当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周一证实,他将宣布全国进入紧急状态,以实现他的竞选承诺,即大规模驱逐未经法律许可居住在美国的移民。
昨晚,特朗普回应了司法观察(Judicial Watch)的汤姆·菲顿(Tom Fitton)在社交媒体上的一篇帖子,他在本月早些时候表示,有报道称即将上任的政府正在准备这样一份声明,并使用“军事资产”驱逐移民。
“真的!!!"王牌书写.
特朗普承诺一上任就开始大规模驱逐。
“在第一天,我将启动美国历史上最大的驱逐计划,将罪犯驱逐出境,”他在总统竞选的最后几天在麦迪逊广场花园的一次集会上说。“我将拯救每一个被入侵和征服的城镇,我们将把这些邪恶和嗜血的罪犯关进监狱,然后尽快把他们赶出我们的国家。”
他已经联系了几名移民强硬派担任重要的内阁职位。南达科他州州长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)被任命为国土安全部部长,有待参议院批准。前代理美国移居海关执法局局长汤姆·霍曼被任命为“边境沙皇”
霍曼此前讨论了他对大规模驱逐出境的看法,称他们将首先集中精力驱逐罪犯和国家安全威胁。他不排除一起驱逐家庭。
周一,霍曼告诉福克斯新闻频道“美国报道”,他将于本周前往马拉拉戈“对该计划进行最后的润色”
霍曼重申了他的计划,即“带上冰手铐”并加大逮捕力度,尽管他指出,他需要更多的资源来执行这一计划,并表示“有很多如果”
“所以,我已经被问过一千次了,第一年你能去掉多少人?嗯,我有几个代理人?”他说。“我们能否让返聘的代理回来,让退休的代理回来重新聘用他们。我有多少辆公共汽车?我有多少钱买飞机?对吗?国防部能协助吗?因为国防部可以减轻我们的负担。有很多如果……”
在整个竞选过程中,特朗普发誓要动员国民警卫队协助驱逐工作。专家告诉ABC新闻这一举措将标志着军方的一个根本性转变,军方通常不参与国内执法问题。
特朗普有时甚至更进一步,建议将数千名海外士兵转移到美墨边境。
据估计,有1100万非法移民生活在美国,没有合法移民身份。根据美国移民委员会的估计,移除他们每年要花费数十亿美元。
此外,大规模驱逐出境可能会导致税收损失和劳动力短缺,从而产生更广泛的经济影响。
美国广播公司新闻首席全球事务记者玛莎·拉达茨最近报道来自加利福尼亚州的特朗普移民和大规模驱逐计划可能对美国农业产生的影响。
“如果你拿走了我的劳动力,你就不会吃饭。如果你进入圣华金山谷,开始做你所说的事情,那就完了。这个国家将会停止,实际上是停止,因为食品系统不会移动,”尼西农民联盟主席小曼努埃尔·库尼亚说。
Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations
President-electDonald Trumpon Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military assets" to deport the migrants.
"TRUE!!!" Trumpwrote.
Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.
"On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out," he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."
Already, he's tapped several immigration hard-linersto serve in key Cabinet positions. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was picked to be homeland security secretary, pending Senate confirmation. Former Acting U.S.Immigrationand Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan was named "border czar."
Homan previously discussed his vision for mass deportations, saying they would first concentrate on expelling criminals and national security threats. He didn't rule out deporting families together.
On Monday, Homan told Fox News "America Reports" he's heading to Mar-a-Lago "this week to put the final touches on the plan."
Homan reiterated his plan to "take the handcuffs of ICE" and ramp up arrests, though noted that he will need more resources to carry it out and said there are "a lot of what-ifs."
"So, I've been asked a thousand times, how many people can you remove the first year? Well, how many agents do I have?" he said. "Can we bring rehired agents back, the ones that are retired bring them back and rehire them. How many buses do I have? How much money do I have for airplanes? Right? Can DOD assist? Because DOD can take a lot off our plate. There's a lot of what ifs ..."
Throughout the campaign, Trump vowed to mobilize the National Guard to assist with the deportation effort. Expertstold ABC Newssuch a move would mark a fundamental shift for the military, which does not normally engage with domestic law enforcement issues.
At times, Trump went further, suggesting thousands of troops from overseas be moved to the U.S.-Mexico border.
There are an estimated 11 million unauthorized migrants living in the U.S. without legal immigration status. Removing them could cost billions of dollars per year, according to estimates from the American Immigration Council.
Plus, mass deportations could have a broader economic impact by resulting in a loss of tax revenue and labor shortages.
ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatzrecently reportedfrom California on the impact Trump's immigration and mass deportations plans could have on the American agriculture industry.
"If you took away my workforce, you wouldn't eat. If you go into the San Joaquin Valley and you start doing what you're saying, it's over. The country will stop, literally stop because the food system won't move," said Manuel Cunha Jr., the president of the Nisei Farmers League.
