With President-elect Donald Trump headed back to the White House after his popular-vote, 33-state victory in Tuesday’s presidential election, the pro-Harris, far-left media megaphone is already attempting to undermine him.
Mass deportations would be illegal and “inhumane,” they tell readers. Other policies he has promised, such as ending birthright citizenship, will be fought until the cases reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
But mass deportations are only one of Trump’s major vows. Trump’s Agenda 47, his plan to “shatter the Deep State” that tried to destroy him, is a list of promises for which 73.5 million Americans cast their vote. They support it wholeheartedly. Of course, that’s why the media and their masters in the globalist Deep State are terrified of the coming four years.
Trump laid out the sweeping plan to reform government on March 21, 2023 at his campaign website.
He will not only “shatter the Deep State,” but also “restore government that is controlled by the People” with a 10-point plan.
“On Day One,” he vowed, he will “re-issue [the] 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats.”
Next, he will “overhaul” the federal bureaucracy, and fire the “corrupt actors” in the national security and intelligence combine who undermined him during his first term.
Reforming Intelligence
Third, he will reform the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA), which OK’d warrants to wiretap Trump advisor Carter Page based on false information from the hate-Trump FBI. That information was the phony Steele Dossier, bought and paid for by the Clinton presidential campaign. Hoping to derail Trump, FBI agents hid from the court the origin of the Steele Dossier’s false claims: a Russian agent. Indeed, the Justice Department’s Inspector General found 17 errors or omissions in the FBI’s FISA application to spy on Page. And a hate-Trump FBI agent doctored an email to help justify a surveillance warrant.
That Big Lie and the coming reform segue into the next item. Trump will empanel a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.” As the campaign said when Agenda 47 was released, “The Biden administration has weaponized the FBI and DOJ to target conservatives, Christians, and their political enemies.” The FBI likened traditional Catholics to “domestic terrorists.” The FBI and other bureaucrats colluded with social media to censor speech. And “during the Russia collusion hoax, government officials routinely selectively leaked information to the media to further their anti-Trump narrative.”
He will also target “government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.”
Inspectors general will be independent of the departments they monitor, while independent auditors will inspect the intelligence combine. Their mission: Stop intelligence agencies from “spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.”
Overhauling Bureaucracies
Government agencies that employ some 100,000 employees will be moved out of Washington, D.C. This is apropos of Trump’s moving the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado.
In keeping with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vow to overhaul the nation’s health bureaucracies (which ultimately should be abolished), the revolving door between bureaucrats and Big Business will close. Bureaucrats will be forbidden from working for the “companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma.”
Lastly, he commits to “push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits for members of Congress.” (This is unwise and highly dangerous.)
Far-left lawyers will likely file one lawsuit after another to stop the reforms, most notably the firing of unelected, subversive bureaucrats.
Illegal, Inhumane
Agenda 47 doesn’t mention mass deportations, but that too is on Trump’s list of priorities. Indeed, it was a major feature of his campaign. Trump promised the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” using the military and local cops to carry it out.
For its story about Trump’s promises, The Washington Post ran off to a “constitutional law expert” at Georgetown University to say Trump can’t do what he says he will do.
Steve Vladeck, a critic of how Trump has wielded executive power, told the paper:
A lot but not all of what Trump says he wants to do on day one is going to be illegal or impractical,. But even the illegal stuff might go into effect for some time, and he might actually succeed in pushing the law in his direction.
The two promises he brings up most often — “begin the largest deportation operation in American history” and “eliminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration” — signal a harsh crackdown on immigration but offer few details on what specific actions he’d take in the White House.
Presidents have broad power to shape immigration policies under the Constitution and federal immigration law, so the fact Trump is making broad promises on this issue isn’t surprising, especially given its importance to voters.
But presidents must adhere to constitutional protections such as due process when enacting immigration policies. His promise to conduct mass deportations would face legal challenges on this front, as well as logistical hurdles that would make an immediate large-scale deportation infeasible. Advocates have also condemned the plan as inhumane.
Immigration Reforms
As for ending birthright citizenship, experts claim that would require a constitutional amendment.
To throw a wet blanket on that idea, the Post found “Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project.”
“There are a bunch of ways you could try it,” Jadwat told the Post. “But it’s impossible to imagine any court allowing something so blatantly unconstitutional to happen.”
Time magazine is worried about Trump’s immigration plans, too.
The once-respected publication claimed:
Experts have warned that the abrupt removal of millions of immigrants would likely lead to economic instability, particularly in industries heavily reliant on undocumented labor, such as agriculture and hospitality.
Critics of Trump’s deportation strategy contend that it is inhumane, citing potential violations of due process and the trauma that mass removals could inflict on families and communities. Many of the people targeted have lived in the U.S. for years and have children who are U.S. citizens. The implications of such a drastic policy shift could also extend far beyond immigration, fundamentally reshaping the demographic and economic landscape of the nation.
Time isn’t likely worried about the “implications” of the Biden-sponsored illegal-alien invasion at the border. Nor do they care about the unlawful mass release of millions of illegals and “migrants,” or the release of more than half a million illegal-alien criminals. Biden was, after all, “fundamentally reshaping the demographic and economic landscape of the nation.”
Nor is Time worried about the trauma suffered by the victims of Biden’s criminal “migrants.”
