NBC ran another immigration story yesterday headlined, “Trump plans to fine migrants $998 a day for failing to leave after deportation order.” The sub-headline added, “The Trump administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively for up to five years, which could result in fines of more than $1 million.” ...

It’s the same story all over again. “The fines,” NBC said, “stem from a 1996 law that was enforced for the first time in 2018, during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.” Another unenforced law! The apothegmatically-named Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 imposes civil penalties on noncitizens who willfully fail to comply with final removal orders. It provides a civil penalty of up to $998 per day for violators.

For Portland readers, that comes to around $360,000 per year.

The Trump Administration has also suggested the DOJ will deploy its asset forfeiture division to confiscate property (think bank accounts and real estate) of illegal aliens who defy their deportation dates.

Noticeably absent from the story was any acknowledgment of why these folks haven’t complied with their final deportation orders in the first place. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that immigrants in the U.S. illegally should use their CBP One app to “self-deport and leave the country now.”

These Administration moves —enforcing the daily fines of nearly a thousand bucks for ignoring deportation orders, combined with asset seizures, mandatory registration under the long-forgotten Alien Registration Act, and aggressive enforcement of existing immigration statutes— is steadily increasing the pressure on illegal migrants from all angles. If they don’t self-deport, they risk being sent to El Salvador’s brutal Super-Max prison— a Central American fortress known for housing violent gang members under extremely harsh conditions.

But it’s not just sticks. There are also carrots. The Administration has said over and over till it was hoarse that folks who voluntarily self-deport will get a chance to apply for legal residency or citizenship. They just need to exit and then do it the right way.

. In Harisiades v. Shaughnessy (1952), for example, the Supreme Court upheld deportation of legal residents who were former Communist Party members, holding that deportations for political affiliation did not violate the First Amendment or due process rights.

This is important. Especially with MS-13, Fannonite Anti-Western Groups, etc.

The Satanic Inversion immigration policy in action.

FAP FAP FAP. The idea in the Cold War days was spread anti-Communist, pro-US ideals.

A key founder of the Muslim Brotherhood went to the Colorado School of Mines and only became more radicalized by seeing "Buckarettes" riding horses to the school (which had a teacher's college attached) in their jeans. And arms-length ballroom dancing between unmarried people, HARAM! This was back in the 50s.

So many of the 9/11 hijackers didn't get "unradicalized" from Islamicism by going to American/European colleges in the 80s and 90s.

Something like a quarter of all Mainland Chinese students report back to handlers regularly according to CCP defectors, last one was like 2021.

So why are we losing seats to International Students and why at both Private and State Universities is the taxpayer underwriting $1 of it?

Just don't allow Chicoms to go to American universities as most are grad students and are funded with grad research assistant (GRA) scholarships from the University. Just recruit more from India, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc.

People have been complaining about the English abilities of foreign stinky grad students for decades.

"But he passed a written test of English."
Yeah, written, not spoken. Some find calculus or chemistry hard enough without having to be taught by somebody who is barely comprehensible.

"The doing of the Abo cado's number is vehy eccential..."

Why recruit from abroad? State schools subsidized by taxpayers certainly should be prohibited from doing so beyond a token amount.

I had exactly this problem in calculus freshman year with a Chinese TA.

At U. Michigan, foreign students, often from Hong Kong, paid full-price tuition so they were far more profitable than us plebes who merely lived in the state and got reduced tuition because we or our parents paid taxes there.

Michigan, like all state schools, wants the tax money and the full-tuition foreigners. Given the choice, they would have excluded all Michigan residents in favor of the Chinese.

Many Professors want the paid research time but not the obligation to teach. And of course admins just want to reign over a bigger empire.

True, and if they bring in enough grant money from the gov't, they can usually get away without teaching much or at all.

But now that's under threat, especially since the Trump administration is limiting the overhead to 15%. Grants won't be as wildly profitable if 85% of them has to be spent on research.

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2025/04/20/new-mexico-democrat-judge-resigns-after-ice-arrests-alleged-tren-de-aragua-gang-member-in-his-home/

Federal prosecutors in the District of New Mexico allege that 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez was illegally in possession of a firearm and has ties to the hyperviolent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump and the U.S. State Department declared the gang to be a foreign terrorist organization.

Police arrested Orgega-Lopez while executing a search warrant on February 28 at the home of Dona Ana County, New Mexico, Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy, the Albuquerque Journal reported this week. The report follows a detention hearing where prosecutors claim the illegal alien is a flight risk and an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member.

Cano, a former police officer, allowed Ortega-Lopez to file a request for immigration relief using the judge’s residential address. Court exhibits also posted social media posts of the foreign national posing with the judge. ...

The photos and videos showed Ortega-Lopez displaying Tren de Aragua gang tattoos. The United States government recently declared this violent gang to be a Transnational Criminal Organization.

No degrees.

Tell me again what he has been doing it here.

The 34-year old on a student visa for 17 years was leading a destabilization operation on behalf of Fatah. I guarantee him and/or his wife were getting EBT or TANF or NYS benefits, too

"You can't remove the trespasser who has no badge, no id, no paperwork until they have a hearing! They can occupy your property until the hearing 3 months from now, and you'll need to hire an attorney to prove they don't belong there!"

If they have a forged lease it may take even longer than that.

Wrong image. You can't deport 20K people per day in military cargo planes. The proper image would feature trains going into ports with ships waiting.

They walked and swam all the way from South America - they can certainly walk all the way to the Mexican border.

If they've grown too fat on Biden's free shit, we can roll them to the border with the assistance of cattle prods.

Nah, it was low crime (except places like NY) vs. now until the demonrats were successful in changing the immigration laws in the 60s.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a significant piece of legislation that changed U.S. immigration policies in the 1960s. This act abolished the National Origins Formula, which had been in place since the 1920s and favored immigrants from Western and Northern Europe.

We went from a high trust society to a low trust society.

Yes, that's exactly what happened.
