On President Trump’s first full day in office, federal officers conducted operations in sanctuary cities, apprehending over 300 undocumented immigrants with criminal records, including an attempted murderer and a child molester, The Post has learned.

The nationwide crackdown, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in coordination with multiple agencies, targeted felons in cities such as Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Miami, according to a senior Trump administration official.

Over 300 in a single day sounds nice, right?

The problem is that to remove even just the 10 million who crossed under Joe Biden’s presidency, the number of arrests and deportations per day would have to be 7,000.

Furthermore, even if this number were to climb to 1,000 per day, it is still unsustainable for the country as around 3,000 per day come to the US legally… on the low end.

The intake rate is over 10 times the deportation rate and we have a record number of foreign-born people living in the country.

As Stephen Miller says in his tweet, the number of immigrants living in the country is equal to the population of England. The number of illegals in the country is likely close to 40 million, a far cry from the 11 million number the media has been spouting for decades.

Can we achieve an immigration pause for four years under Trump and a new zero immigration policy? Imagine how much lower housing prices would be if we did. Imagine the average wage increase.

Liberal judges and courts will be doing everything in their power to try to stop everything that Trump does. A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship for instance

You would also have to take into account that within two years, many politicians in the House and Senate will be up for reelection and won’t want to ‘rock the boat’ even though according to polls, most Americans are in favor of deporting all immigrant who are in the US illegally.

In his book We Wanted Workers, economist George J. Borjas discussed immigration’s impact on the wages of US workers and the fact that most immigrants are an economic drain. Borjas writes that the wage impact must be measured by carefully matching the skills of the immigrants with those of the incumbent workforce.

In one chapter, Borjas writes about the Muriel Boat Lift and its instant impact on the wages of low-skilled American workers.

The Mariel boatlift was a large-scale migration of Cubans who departed from Mariel Harbor in Cuba to the United States between April 15 and October 31, 1980. The term "Marielito" is used in both Spanish and English to describe these refugees. Although the exodus was prompted by a severe economic downturn in Cuba, it was part of a broader trend of Cuban migration to the United States that had been ongoing for decades.

An estimated 125,000 Cuban refugees migrated to Florida between April and October 1980. Given that at least 60% of the Marielitos were high school dropouts, the wage of high school dropouts in Miami dropped dramatically, by 10 to 30%, suggesting an elasticity of wages with respect to the number of workers between -0.5 and -1.5.

Borjas also writes a lot about the economic impact of migration and that when you adjust for the public services they use — public education, public transportation, welfare — all positive GDP impact goes out the window.

In addition to the immigration pause, the US needs to introduce something like Operation Wetback of the 1950s but on steroids.

Operation Wetback was an immigration enforcement program developed by Joseph Swing, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant general and the head of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Launched in June 1954 under the direction of U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, the operation employed military-style tactics to deport Mexican immigrants, including some who were U.S. citizens.

Even though the program was controversial at the time, there were only just over 1 million people removed.

We need 40 times that.
