#1 You can make the number by forgetting about the dangerous criminals an sweeping Home Depot parking lots instead as long as the ICE officers are in decent cardio shape.

#2 1,500 a day is 547,500 per year out of 11 million who came just in the last 4 years. There will also be self-deportations, but it's still not enough. In other words, Biden let in more people each year than Trump is planning to deport.

#3 The law-abiding among the illegal community will cash out and go home, then apply to come back legally. Back when the trailing daughters were in school, one of the girls in their social circle came to school in tears one day because her father — an engineer with a management career at a mid-sized firm in the area — had applied to the government to regularize his situation after the rules changed, and had been rejected. So they’d packed up their stuff, sold their very nice house, and were headed back to Mexico, where he’d work at the company’s regional office until they could bring him back to America legally. But it was probably going to take a few years to make that happen, which meant the child, who had never lived anywhere but here, would not be able to graduate with her friends.

#4 Homan: Reassigned Acting ICE Director Will Now Focus on Interior Alone, Arrests Will Go Up
On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Border Czar Tom Homan stated that Caleb Vitello’s reassignment from his position as acting ICE Director is to a position that is at a lower level, but where he’ll be solely focused on interior enforcement and that while he is happy with the current immigration arrest numbers, they need to increase and they will.

Homan said he’s pleased with the immigration arrest numbers, but they need to go up and there needs to be “better targeting, more targeting. And sanctuary cities are a problem.” And that targeting is increasing and they’re suing sanctuary cities so the arrest numbers will increase.

He added that Vitello’s removal wasn’t his decision, “But if you look at what they actually did to him, they didn’t remove him. … [T]hey took him out of the director’s job, and the director’s job is very political. Not only do you oversee the operations in the interior, you oversee international offices. We’ve got attaché offices in over 40 countries. You’ve got to deal with HSI, criminal investigations, drug trafficking, gun trafficking, weapons of mass destruction, you’ve got to be on the Hill with Congress. You’ve got to do all these political things as a director. She put him in a position as the executive associate director over ERO. Yeah, it’s a lower level. But now…all he does now is oversee [our] interior enforcement operation.”
