During the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump emphasized his plan for mass deportations, aiming to expel millions of migrants in what could be the largest such program in U.S. history. While some Republicans, including Texas activist Lauren B. Peña, express discomfort with the rhetoric surrounding 'illegals' and 'invasion', they hope Trump is exaggerating and will focus only on deporting criminals. Trump's strategy resurrects a harsh immigration approach reminiscent of the 1950s, notably 'Operation Wetback' initiated by Eisenhower. In a recent interview, Trump suggested utilizing the National Guard and military to target between 15 million and 20 million people, despite estimates of around 11 million undocumented migrants currently in the U.S. This aggressive stance has heightened the immigration debate in the upcoming election, pushing both parties to reevaluate their approaches amid increasing border security concerns.
