South Korean media: "The United States plans to expel one million immigrants this year, the largest deportation action in history"!

On April 14, the South Korean media "Kyung Hyang Shinmun" published an article stating that the Trump administration has formulated a plan to deport one million illegal immigrants within the year.

According to The Washington Post, Stephen Miller, the White House's immigration policy director, holds strategic meetings with relevant federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security every day. Specifically, they are discussing measures for the 1.4 million illegal immigrants who have been ordered to be deported but refuse to return.

The White House is negotiating with multiple countries including Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama to push for their deportation to third countries.

Kush Desai, the White House deputy press secretary, stated: "Voters are demanding that the Trump administration strengthen border and immigration control, with the goal of mass deporting terrorists and criminals."

If a million people are really deported, it will become the largest annual deportation event in American history. During the Obama administration, 400,000 people were deported, setting a record at that time.

However, it is unlikely that one million people can be deported within a year. Most illegal immigrants in the United States have the right to trial in immigration court, which may take months or even years.

In addition, tracking down and deporting those who refuse repatriation requires enormous administrative power. For this reason, the government has requested financial support from Congress to expand manpower, but the passage of the bill and the recruitment process are expected to take time.

Doris Meissner, a senior researcher at the Migration Policy Institute, said: "Deportation procedures are a time-consuming process. This is not something that can be achieved by simply flipping a switch." In this situation, whether the Trump administration's plan is feasible remains to be seen.
