Trump may deport hundreds of thousands of migrants whom Biden allowed to legally enter U.S.
The migrants participated in two Biden programs that created legal pathways to enter the U.S. and punished those who crossed the border illegally.
Summary
President-elect Donald Trump’s team is reportedly planning to end two Biden-era immigration programs, potentially making hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the U.S. legally eligible for deportation.
These programs—CBP One and the CHNV parole program—allowed over 1.3 million migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. legally.
Trump’s initial deportation focus is expected to include individuals deemed national security risks, such as Chinese nationals of military age, as well as those with criminal convictions.
Legal challenges are anticipated, similar to those seen during Trump’s first term.

He cannot unless they're convicted criminals. This is propaganda
He can't [legally] deport US citizens either, but he has promised to do so. Who's going to stop him? Congress? The courts? Republicans will control both.
The citizens. It's up to us to say when enough is enough. We give him power, and when we don't listen, then he loses power. Only a little above 50% is claiming to be in his court rn, and that can shift any second. Plus it's an American circumstance to take and keep immigrants regardless of what politicians say the state of the border is. It's all a farce and the US has never stopped taking immigrants
The citizens. It's up to us to say when enough is enough. We give him power, and when we don't listen, then he loses power.
The same citizens who couldn't take few hours out of their day to stop this transfer of power in the first place, via a system specifically meant for it?
The system itself is working exactly as it's supposed to and that's the problem. It didn't matter about those people that you are referring to not voting. They stopped the count when Trump got the electoral votes. Meaning the popular vote wouldn't have made a difference
The citizens elected him mate
No. The electoral college did. They stopped counting the popular vote when he got enough electoral votes
If you're gonna say stupid shit don't say the stupid shit that's so blatantly untrue
They announced him as the winner before they even finished counting the popular vote. It's not stupid shit at all. Look back at the 2016 election. Trump won the electoral votes there as well, while Hillary won the popular vote. And Hillary did not get the presidency.
They announced him as the winner before they even finished counting the popular vote
Yeah, because they knew how many electoral votes each candidate got, it's how that system works. That doesn't mean they just stop counting the popular vote
Look back at the 2016 election. Trump won the electoral votes there as well, while Hillary won the popular vote. And Hillary did not get the presidency.
Do they stop counting when a winner is announced or not, you're inconsistent here
They didn't stop the count, but it stopped counting. That's my point. And that the popular vote doesn't matter while electoral votes are a thing
"the popular vote stopped mattering" is a significantly less shitty wording of your already poor point
The people elected him because people still voted for him. If nobody voted for him then the electoral votes woulda gone elsewhere
So then, what was the situation in 2016? What I'm getting at is regardless of which way the popular vote swings, the electoral college can swing the other way and that is a victory for whoever the EC votes for despite the popular vote. So the popular vote is pointless while electoral votes are a thing
I have my doubts about this, we had problems with faithless electors in 2016 as well, that's how we put Orange Julius in the white house the first time around without the popular vote. If the electors decided they wanted to vote Trump there's not actually anything preventing them from doing that, there's no law stating that they must vote in step with their electorate. The intended balance to that is supposed to be that you won't get re-elected if the people learn about it, but conservatives don't seem to be concerned with that anymore.
All that to say, if a large pro-Trump section of the electorate decided to just vote for him no matter who their constituents voted for, there's no mechanism to prevent this and it would look an awful lot like the election we just had.
Are you planning on heading to the border to stop them?
I think you're misunderstanding my position. I'm for open borders
Lmao okay then head your ass down to the border and open it why don't you. If it's so simple. "We the people" should be doing it so go on, you start since you're so sure we can stop the deportations.
Ok. You're just arguing to argue. I'm not playing your game
He cannot unless they’re convicted criminals.
Until the Republican swept house, senate and SCOTUS just unilaterally decide to change the law and allow deporting any "enemies of the state". Who's going to object lol?
Nothing in American law statue is concrete now that they hold every single key.
My man, you have lost the fucking plot.
