During a recent discussion on immigration, the topic of deportation and the proposed methods for handling undocumented immigrants was brought to light. President Trump outlined a plan that he referred to as the largest domestic deportation operation in the history of the United States. He mentioned utilizing the National Guard and, if necessary, the U.S. military, along with local police forces to carry out this operation.
President Trump expressed concerns about the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, stating his belief that the actual number is much higher. He attributed this increase to the admission of criminals, including terrorists and drug dealers, into the United States. He pointed to other countries like Venezuela, where crime rates have reportedly decreased after removing criminals from the streets and sending them to the U.S.
He criticized the impact of allowing millions of people into the country, claiming that it has led to a rise in crime levels, particularly what he referred to as 'migrant crime.' Despite his assertions, the FBI data indicates that overall violent crime in the U.S. is on a downward trend.
President Trump accused the FBI of providing misleading information by excluding data from cities with the highest crime rates, labeling it as fraudulent. He also disputed the job creation figures presented by the current administration, alleging them to be inaccurate.
The discussion highlighted contrasting views on immigration policies and their impact on crime rates in the country. While President Trump emphasized the need for stringent deportation measures to address security concerns, the FBI data suggests a different perspective on the overall crime trends in the United States.
