President Barack Obama once famously said he wanted to bring about the "fundamental transformation of America," but his Vice President may have ultimately accomplished that. Under President Joe Biden and his open border policies, 7-8 million new illegal immigrants have crossed the border in the last three years, including more than a million in the last four months alone. When you combine that with the most recent estimate of the illegal population in the U.S. from 2018 at 22.1 million, the numbers are staggering. "The number, in my personal estimate, is 30 to 35 million total illegal people present in the U.S.," says Victor Avila, former ICE special agent and candidate for Congress in Texas.
That means the total illegal alien population in the U.S. is like adding an entire second state of Texas. Critics believe this will result in a radical shift in demographics and politics in the future, if it is not reversed through mass deportations. The question is how to do that. "First of all, you're not going to deport 35 million people, that's just not realistic...but that doesn't mean that we're not going to deport people," says Avila.
Avila tells KTRH there are certain categories of illegals that can and should be deported immediately. "We have the criminal illegal aliens who come to the country and commit additional crimes, but then we have people who actually came in with a Visa who have now overstayed, and are completely illegal as well," he says. "They also must go."
Avila predicts these deportations will happen if Donald Trump is reelected to the White House this fall, as Trump has pledged to do just that. "It will start happening one at a time, before you know it it will be 100,000, then 500,000, then 800,000, then a million, then two million," he says.
"That is going to send a message to the rest of the world, starting with Mexico, that no longer will you be allowed to come into the country illegally, but there will be a consequence, and you will be deported back to your country."
