Removing millions of illegal aliens need not be costly or dramatic. The U.S. can fix its immigration problem by looking to our own history—we’ve done this before.
The American people gave President Donald Trump a mandate to carry out the largest deportation of illegal aliens in American history. While unprecedented in 2025, that same history actually shows removing millions of law-breaking foreigners is as American as apple pie.
The Left insists any and all deportations are un-American and racist. In fact, removing troublesome migrants is one of our nation’s great unsung traditions to rival another, more familiar pillar also from the 19th century: Assimilation. In generations past, Americans revolted against agricultural and business elites—who wanted ever more cheap labor—by demanding their government remove burdensome, dangerous, and wage-depressing immigrants.
And elected officials responded, deporting over 57 million people since 1882—more than any country in history.
