Under President Trump, America put its citizens first — and one of the most effective ways he did that was by enforcing immigration laws and stepping up deportations of illegal immigrants. Despite what the mainstream media wants you to believe, deporting those who break our laws by entering or staying in the country illegally isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s smart policy that benefits American workers and keeps our communities safer.

Putting Americans Back to Work

Every illegal immigrant working under the table is taking a job away from an American. Period. They depress wages, undercut legal workers, and drive down standards across entire industries. Under President Trump, ICE increased workplace enforcement and deportations, helping restore fairness to the job market. American citizens — especially those in lower-income brackets — saw improved job prospects because there was less competition from people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Democrats want open borders because they’re desperate for future voters and to keep wages low. Conservatives believe in opportunity for legal American workers. Deportations are part of making sure the American dream remains for Americans.

Safer Communities, Stronger Borders

Let’s face it: not everyone who crosses our border illegally is just looking for a better life. Some are drug dealers, gang members, or violent criminals. Under Trump’s leadership, thousands of criminal illegal aliens were removed from our streets. These weren’t just minor offenders — many had convictions for assault, rape, armed robbery, or even murder.

Data from ICE and DHS made it clear: when you remove those who break the law, crime goes down. Sanctuary cities, pushed by radical liberals, put politics before safety — and innocent people suffer because of it. Conservatives believe that law and order matter. When you enforce immigration law, you make every community safer.

It’s Not Racist — It’s Common Sense

The Left loves to shout “racism” at anyone who talks about immigration enforcement. But let’s be honest: every country in the world has borders and laws — and America has every right to protect hers. It’s not about where someone comes from — it’s about whether they respect our laws. Illegal is illegal.

We welcome legal immigrants who contribute, follow the rules, and want to be part of the American fabric. But there’s no excuse for rewarding law-breaking, or for turning a blind eye to the damage illegal immigration causes.

The Bottom Line

Deporting illegal immigrants is a win for American workers, a win for public safety, and a win for the rule of law. Under President Trump, we saw what real immigration enforcement looks like. It’s time to bring that leadership back.

America First isn’t just a slogan — it’s a policy. And it starts with protecting our borders and deporting those who have no legal right to be here.
