Trump: Goal of immigration laws is not 'mass deportation'

Views 1

The Trump administration clarified concerns regarding increasing enforcement against illegal immigrants, claiming the goal is not mass deportation. Two new memos released earlier this week indicate radical changes to the immigration policy, giving more power to federal immigration agents. Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly said these changes will take some time to implement due to budget costs. Homeland Security also clarified that the leveraged power of federal agents will be used with discretion and care. "We do not have the personnel, time or resources to go into communities and round up people and do all kinds of mass throwing folks on buses. That’s entirely a figment of folks’ imagination," a senior Department of Homeland Security official told reporters during a conference call.
