Top Trump aide Stephen Miller is using a "completely made-up figure" to convince Americans and undocumented immigrants alike that self-deportation is the way to go, according to an official with the nonprofit American Immigration Council.

"Miller recently claimed that 1 million people have self-deported already," Aaron Reichlin-Melnick told Slate, adding, "That’s a completely made-up figure. But the goal is to send the message that everybody’s doing it, they’re all leaving: 'If you leave now, then you won’t have to worry about this happening to you. You won’t have to worry about being thrown on the ground by Border Patrol, shoved into a detention center, and treated poorly, if you just go home now.'"

To accomplish his main goal of getting migrants to self-deport, Miller has struck fear in the hearts of those seeking work and a better life in America, not just the criminal element, Reichlin-Melnick said....

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he's ordering the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare Guantanamo Bay to house undocumented migrants.

The president made the announcement before signing the Laken Riley Act that received bipartisan support in Congress.

"Today, I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most people don't even know about it. We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them, because we don't want them coming back. So, we're going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately. That's a tough, that's a tough place to get out of," Trump said....

Two California police departments are speaking out against the Department of Homeland security for what believe were deceptions by the feds in an effort to deport non-violent undocumented immigrants.

GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump didn't hesitate to use a random act of violence in San Francisco to double down on his racism and demonize all Mexican immigrants. Instead of being able to make a nuanced point about anything, he demonstrated that his walnut-sized brain is incapable of nuance, yet very capable of worthless anecdotal evidence.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told supporters in Spencer, Iowa Tuesday that a young woman who was brought to the U.S. as an undocumented 6-year-old was "repeatedly breaking the law" by staying in the country.
