‘This Is What the People Want’: Resistance to Trump’s Deportation Plan Fades

Donald Trump made bold promises to the American people during his campaign, and while some question his ability to deliver on them, Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” believes he’ll follow through—especially on mass deportations.

“I think they’ll go pretty big,” Burguiere said. “He was re-elected largely, partially, based on his border stance and how poorly the border went under Joe Biden. And so he’s going to be, I think, pretty aggressive on this.”

Incoming border czar Tom Homan confirmed this stance during a visit to Chicago, where he announced that mass deportations would begin in the Windy City. Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, has previously stated plans to shield illegal immigrants from federal agents.

“Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks, and your governor sucks,” Homan said bluntly. Addressing Johnson directly, he added, “If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way.”

Burguiere elaborated, explaining how federal immigration laws override local resistance. “Now, the way the immigration law is set up, and this is a little confusing and at times makes things difficult, cities cannot get in the way. Brandon Johnson is a moron, and he cannot get in the way—not legally at least. What he can do is just not help,” he said.

“If you happen to arrest someone for, let’s say theft, you could say, ‘Hey, by the way, not only do we have you on theft, but we also have you on this border violation. We’re going to send you to the authorities for that.’ They could easily participate in that type of situation, and that’s really what the Trump administration is asking for,” Burguiere continued.

“Instead, they’re just getting opposition from all over the place, even though places like New York want mass deportations to occur. New York voters want the state to support Trump deportations,” he said, citing a Siena College poll where 54% of respondents favored the state supporting Trump administration efforts to deport immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. Only 35% opposed the idea.

“I will remind you, that’s not a national poll. That’s a poll of the state of New York that voted for Kamala Harris by, I think, 12 points. So that is a remarkable thing,” Burguiere added, concluding, “This is what the people want.”
