"Deportations occur all the time. Of those who have been ordered deported by an immigration judge, hopefully after they have exhausted their appeal rights and had an opportunity to have their asylum case heard, we simply have to enforce the law, particularly if someone has been ordered deported. In other words, they've exhausted all their appeal rights. And so, it's important for migrants to know they have rights. But enforcement actions themselves are not extraordinary."Johnson has been a unique voice in speaking out against Democrats' recent rhetoric on immigration. When Democrats started to criticize the Trump administration for keeping migrants in "cages," Johnson said that practice did not begin when Trump became president. "Chain link barriers, partitions, fences, cages, whatever you want to call them, were not invented on Jan. 20, 2017, OK?" he said.
He also called out the 2020 Democrats' proposal to decriminalize border crossing because that "is tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders."

The thought that one can enter the border of another country, just walk over the threshold, expect to be recognized as a person belonging to that country, can expect all the benefits of citizenship is even more preposterous.
Most citizens of the world would be up in arms, claiming holy hell, and would use violent means if some stranger, knocked on the door of there residence claiming that they had a right to reside there, and not only that, they want to be fed clothed and watered as long as the residents will keep on paying.
Insanity. well given what the Democratic ideology is all about in this day and age, well, the term, insianity is appropriate... IMO.
And because Trump wants to secure the border of the US he is demonized.
