With A Second Term, Trump Would Take His Immigration Crackdown Further

Demonstrators gather outside of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to protest shortly after former President Donald Trump's executive order blocking visitors from seven predominantly Muslim nations went into effect in January 2017. Trump is promising to implement even more extreme immigration policies if he wins another term in November.

Immigration is one of the main things Americans will be voting on in November. And many are currently unhappy with the situation at the US Southern Border, which is widely described as a crisis.

As Donald Trump runs for another term, he's hoping to leverage that discontent just as he did in 2016.

An across-the-board crackdown on immigration was one of the signature policies of the Trump presidency. In a second term, he's promising to go even further.

the terms of debate over immigration have moved to the right during President Joe Biden’s time in office. Any mass-deportation program would naturally focus on big Democratic-leaning cities where many undocumented immigrants have settled, such as Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, New York and Phoenix.

Trump plans to curtail usual multistep deportation process by using an obscure section of 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts to immediately round up some migrants with criminal histories. The military would build massive sites near the border to hold people awaiting deportation, evoking scenes from the 1950s when more than 1 million undocumented Mexican immigrants were deported under President Eisenhower.

Trump was a key player in blocking a border bill that would have made it more difficult for individuals to claim asylum at the border. The military would build massive sites near the border to hold people awaiting deportation.

  • Deception (80%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents Trump's plan as a reality when there is no evidence to suggest that he has the resources or political will to carry out such an operation on this scale. Secondly, the article uses sensationalist language and emotional manipulation by portraying Trump's plan as something that would cause widespread fear and disruption among undocumented immigrants. Thirdly, it presents a one-sided view of the issue without considering alternative perspectives or providing any context for why such a policy might be necessary.
    • The article states that Trump has long campaigned on anti-immigrant fears.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the historical precedent of President Eisenhower's mass deportation operation as evidence for Trump's plan. However, this comparison is flawed because it ignores the differences in circumstances and context between the two situations. Additionally, there are examples of inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article to describe undocumented immigrants as a threat to American society and economy.

  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses inflammatory language such as 'poisoning the blood of our country' and 'largest deportation operation in U.S history'.

          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Trump's immigration plan is more aggressive than before when there is no evidence to suggest this. Secondly, the author uses sensationalism by describing a mass-deportation operation as politically explosive without providing any context or information on how such an operation would be carried out and what its consequences would be. Thirdly, the article implies that Trump's immigration plan will target marginalized communities when there is no evidence to suggest this.

        • Fallacies (85%)
          The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Trump's immigration plan is politically explosive without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim.

          • The former president and his aides are formulating plans to deport millions of migrants.
          • , The most explosive immigration clash of all may still lie ahead.
        • Bias (85%)
          The author of the article demonstrates clear bias in favor of his own political views and against those who disagree with him. He uses inflammatory language such as 'the largest domestic deportation operation in history' to describe Trump's plan, which implies that it is a radical and extreme measure. He also portrays Trump as the main driver of the immigration clashes in Washington, while ignoring or downplaying the role of other actors such as Biden, Mayorkas, Abbott, and the House Republicans who voted to impeach him. He does not provide a balanced or nuanced perspective on the issues involved in immigration policy, but rather presents them as black-and-white conflicts between good and evil. He also implies that Trump's plan would disproportionately affect minority communities, without acknowledging any possible benefits or trade-offs of such an approach.
          • Cumulatively these clashes demonstrate how much the terms of debate over immigration have moved to the right during President Joe Biden’s time in office.
            • Simultaneously, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, supported by more than a dozen other GOP governors, has renewed his attempts to seize greater control over immigration enforcement from the federal government.
              • Trump has repeatedly promised that, if reelected, he will pursue “the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History,” as he put it last month on social media. Inherently, such an effort would be politically explosive.
