Some time ago, in the face of Democrats' weeping and wailing about the possibility of government immigration agents under Trump knocking down doors and, Nazi-style, dragging illegal aliens out into the street, I posted this Substack piece:
"HOW TO MAGICALLY DEPORT MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS - No SS or Gestapo Required"
The essence of that post was the proposed strategy of managing downward illegal immigrant incentives - to manipulate the environment of illegals living in the US so as to render things much less accommodating for their continued unlawful presence here, thus increasing their incentives to self-deport.
As the title of that earlier Substack piece suggests, if this strategy is executed skillfully, in the vast majority of cases there will be no need to employ brute force to apprehend and eject these lawbreakers. We'll hear "a giant sucking sound" as illegals, en masse, magically flee back to their own countries - and, importantly, with no need to spend billions of dollars of the people's money for such enforcement except in the cases of illegal immigrant criminals who have other means of sustaining themselves not subject to these disincentives. Those few will have to be rooted out and forcibly removed.
Among my detailed suggestions in that earlier piece was that of denying illegals any access to government benefits. While the Trump Administration has yet to avail themselves of the primary aspect of the strategy I proposed - imposing draconian fines and jail time on any company or individual knowingly employing an illegal alien, thus radically reducing or virtually eliminating employment opportunities for illegals and leaving them "without a pot to pee in or a window throw it out of" (quoting my father, may he rest in peace) and thus greatly increasing the likelihood of their leaving of their own accord - here below is an example (one that surely must grind on the liberal sensitivities of the authors of the article) of the Trump Administration taking my advice regarding government benefits and making life more difficult for illegal aliens residing in the US (see my insertions in [brackets - RTJ]:
Trump seeks to revoke immigrants' Social Security numbers
Trump seeks to revoke [ILLEGAL! - RTJ] immigrants' Social Security numbers

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration aims to convince some immigrants without legal status [make that "illegal immigrants" - RTJ] to self-deport by adding them to a database of dead people, thus rendering their Social Security numbers inoperable, an administration official told Reuters.
Immigrants who were legally admitted to the U.S. under the Biden administration but have since had their temporary status revoked would be added to the Social Security Administration's "death master list," which is normally used to identify dead people who should no longer receive Social Security benefits, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss the plans.
Social Security numbers function as tax identification numbers in the U.S. and are required to receive government benefits. They are also used for many private financial operations such as opening a bank account or obtaining a credit card.
The scheme was first reported by the New York Times, citing documents it reviewed and six people familiar with the plans. The goal is to pressure migrants to self-deport by effectively canceling their Social Security numbers and cutting them off from financial services, the Times reported.
"President Trump promised mass deportations and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay , we will encourage them to self-deport," [Hip-hip, HORRAY! - RTJ] Assistant Press Secretary Liz Huston said in a statement, without directly addressing the plan.
The Times, citing documents, reported that the names of more than 6,300 convicted criminals or "suspected terrorists" have been added to the government blacklist.
The use of the "death master list" is the latest example of President Donald Trump seeking to expand the use of sensitive personal data to further his goal of reducing the number of [illegal - RTJ] immigrants living in the U.S.
On Monday, the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security finalized an agreement under which taxpayer data will be provided to federal immigration authorities to help them locate [illegal - RTJ] migrants.
That led to the resignation of the acting head of the IRS and other top officials at the tax-collecting agency [Don't let the door hit you in the heinie on the way out - RTJ].
Notice the deliberate and unmistakable liberal tinge in the above article. Utterly disregarding the critical, existential, underlying issue of the rule of law in America - if the law be down, America is dead - the writers, starting in the headline, repeatedly refer simply to "immigrants" when the correct term is "illegal immigrants" - people who broke our laws to come into the US and continue to break them by staying - thus subtly and deceitfully attempting to depict Donald Trump and his administration as anti-immigrant when they are no such thing (see also my earlier Substack post, "THE LEFT'S DECEITFUL WAR OF WORDS").
Rather than anti-immigrant, Trump and his team are pro-law and order. Like everything else in a country based on the rule of law, immigration must be managed as the people’s duly constituted law requires - not as a lawless, treasonous Democrat Party has sought to manage it in their own political interest, resulting in an illegal invasion of tens of millions.
See below my remarks posted in the comments section of the article:
The article reeks of lawless liberal Democrat bias - making reference only to "immigrants", refusing, critically, to identify them as the lawbreaking "illegal immigrants" they actually are. That the illegitimate, lawless Biden regime, ignoring the duly constituted law of the land, allowed these people to enter does not magically make them "legal". The rule of law defines these invaders as lawbreakers - “illegals”. The rule of law is the lifeblood of the American nation. As Donald Trump said long ago, "Either the law means something, or it doesn't." If we allow the law of the land to be trashed, as it was under Biden, America is finished. As Sir Thomas More observed long ago, "If the Law be down, such a wind will blow in the land that no man can stand".
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, knowledge vs. ignorance, order vs. chaos, law vs. lawlessness, justice vs. injustice, patriotism vs. treason, liberty vs. tyranny, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, happiness vs. misery, God vs. the Godless...
