"The largest deportation in American history", the Trump

Immigration was one of the main issues of President-elect Donald Trump's election campaign.

His administration is planning to implement stricter measures on the country's border with Mexico.

Voice of America correspondent Aline Barros takes a look at Trump's policies and their possible implications.

During the election campaign, President-elect Donald Trump promised strict border measures, including mass detentions and deportations of undocumented immigrants.

"We are going to have the largest deportation in American history. We have no other choice, because this situation is not sustainable for any country," Mr. Trump said at an election rally on April 2.

Mr. Trump's possible plans include expanding detention facilities and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires migrants to remain in the country while their asylum claims in the United States are processed.

Tom Homan, appointed by Mr. Trump to handle border issues, says tougher measures will improve public and national security.

"In the wake of the greatest illegal immigration crisis we have ever seen in this nation, there must be a massive deportation operation," Mr. Homan said.

Some immigration experts say mass deportations undermine public safety because they discourage immigrants from reporting crimes.

"Immigrants tend to report crimes to the police more than the native-born. But studies have consistently shown that tightening policing in an area reduces this high rate of crime reporting among immigrants," says David Bier of the Cato Institute.

If immigrants do not have a criminal record, administrations, whether Democratic or Republican, have generally released them while they await their asylum case. But that practice could end with the new administration.

"If I were a permanent resident of the United States, that is, if I had a green card, I would make sure to always carry this document with me," says attorney David Leopold.

Officials in the new administration say the tough measures will deter criminals. But Bier says that didn't happen during Mr. Trump's first term.

"Mass deportations will not prioritize those who have committed serious crimes. The previous Trump administration changed all the rules to focus on those with serious violations, namely first-time criminals, but as a result the number of arrests doubled, including those who had not committed crimes," he says.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bier adds, the number of criminals trying to cross the border tripled.

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will act on this issue on his first day in office, January 20./VOA
