We talk about mass deportation but ‘we don’t have the resources’
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday urged his congressional Republican colleagues to prioritize sending more money to the Trump administration to help the president with his mass deportation plan.
“Here’s the question for the Republican Party. We talk about doing this, but we don’t have the resources. We haven’t given the Trump team the resources,” Graham said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
Mass deportation was one of President Donald Trump’s biggest refrains on the campaign trail. In his stump speech, he repeatedly promised to “launch the largest deportation operation in the history of our country,” often saying he would deport all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants estimated to be living in the U.S.
Immediately after the election, Trump dismissed concerns about how much this effort would cost, telling NBC News in a November post-election interview, “It’s not a question of a price tag.”
He added then, “It’s not — really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here, there is no price tag.”
But in recent weeks, Trump’s appointed border czar, Tom Homan, has told conservative media that Congress needs to appropriate more money for the effort for Trump’s campaign promise to be fulfilled.
Homan said “$86 billion is the minimum” during an interview on Fox Business’ “Sunday Morning Futures” in December, adding: “This operation is going to be expensive to begin with, but in the long run, there’s going to be huge tax savings for the American taxpayer.”
In a November Fox News interview, Homan said, “We’ve got to have the resources to do the job.”
It was a point Graham emphasized on Sunday, telling “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker, “We need to give Tom Homan the money now to execute the plan that he’s come up with, and without congressional funding, this is going to hit a wall.”
Graham also endorsed the notion of using the reconciliation process to fund Trump’s plan, which allows the Senate to pass certain tax and funding-related bills with a simple majority.
“So we need to do two bills in reconciliation. The first bill should be $100 billion for the border, $200 billion for national security — put those points on the board. Give Tom the tools he needs to execute a mass deportation strategy,” Graham said.
Homan has said he’ll use additional funding to pay for more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and more detention beds, but even with those efforts, experts have cast doubt on the administration’s ability to deport over 10 million people, especially in the space of just one presidential term.
Graham on Sunday seemed to agree that it would be logistically hard to deport everyone living in the U.S. illegally.
“I’m not so sure they’re going to deport 11 million people,” he said. But he pointed to certain groups of undocumented immigrants who could be prioritized for removal, including those who have been convicted of other crimes.
“He said they’re going to deport people here that are part of gangs that are criminals,” Graham said, adding that there are hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of “serious crimes.”
In recent years, the topic of mass deportation has become a hot-button issue in political discussions. Many politicians and policymakers have proposed mass deportation as a solution to address the issue of undocumented immigrants living in the United States. However, one common argument that is often brought up in opposition to mass deportation is the lack of resources available to carry out such a large-scale operation.While the idea of mass deportation may sound appealing to some who believe in stricter immigration policies, the reality is that the logistics of carrying out such an operation are incredibly complex and costly. In order to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, the government would need to allocate significant resources towards hiring more immigration enforcement officers, building more detention centers, and coordinating with other countries to facilitate the deportation process.
Furthermore, the legal challenges that would arise from mass deportation would be immense. Many undocumented immigrants have lived in the United States for years and have established families and communities here. Deporting these individuals would likely result in a flood of legal challenges and appeals, further straining an already overburdened immigration court system.
In the end, while some may talk about mass deportation as a solution to the issue of undocumented immigration, the reality is that the resources needed to carry out such an operation are simply not available. Instead of focusing on unrealistic and costly proposals, policymakers should work towards comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the root causes of illegal immigration and provides a pathway to legal status for those already living in the country.

#Family #Conversation #Cards #Put #Phones #Connect #Family #Meaningful #Talk #Kids #Express #Great #Dinner #Table #Road #Trips,worst therapist gameSteve Kerr Details Talk With Jayson Tatum Regarding Olympic Drama
Steve Kerr rarely still ponders the controversy that linked the Golden State Warriors head coach to Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum this past summer.
Kerr’s decision to bench Tatum twice amid USA Basketball’s six-game run to a gold medal finish in the 2024 Paris Olympics garnered global attention. Tatum was fresh off a championship in Boston, a record-large $315 million payday from the Celtics and a third straight All-NBA First Team selection. Still, that wasn’t enough.
When asked the day after Tatum led a 40-point demolition of Kerr’s Warriors on Martin Luther King Day, the 59-year-old shared a chit-chat between the two.
“We texted after the game in Boston a couple of months ago and we talked last night after the game,” Kerr told 95.7 The Game’s “Willard & Dibs” show. “I will tell you that Jayson was an absolute dream to coach. During all that stuff, that so-called controversy, you might notice there wasn’t a single quote from Jayson. It was everybody else talking about it. Jayson’s an amazing guy and an incredible player and he couldn’t have handled it any better when he was there. The reality is 2024 these guys are all in the spotlight. There’s so much pressure on them and that whole thing was overblown.”
USA Basketball underutilized Tatum, playing the five-time All-Star for 17.7 minutes across four appearances — less than Boston teammates Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, who both logged five appearances. Tatum averaged 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds and even prompted an unscheduled check-up visit from Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

At the time, Kerr didn’t provide any elaborate explanation as to why Tatum was on such a short leash, especially when Team USA barely defeated opponents like South Sudan and Serbia.
Tatum, meanwhile, took the humbling experience on the chin and quickly redirected his focus on the Celtics and their first shot at a repeat in over a decade. The 26-year-old dropped a 37-point double-double on the New York Knicks during Boston’s Opening Night victory, moments after Tatum received his ring and Banner 18 was raised.
Although, beating the brakes off Golden State alongside co-star Jaylen Brown, who was denied an invite from Team USA entirely, was a great avenue for revenge too. The Tatum-Brown tandem clocked out at the end of the third quarter and let Boston’s bench finish the job as Kerr watched his team fall to 21-21 with the 125-85 defeat.
Tatum and Brown might’ve had Kerr’s face at the center of their dartboard, but Kerr has moved on from the storyline and is focused on the Warriors.

“I don’t even think about it more, to be honest with you,” Kerr added.
Feelings of resentment from Tatum and Brown toward Kerr were on display as soon as the final buzzer sounded and Boston became the third team in the NBA to eclipse 30 regular-season victories this season. While Tatum shared a postgame discussion with Warriors star Stephen Curry, as Brown stood nearby, Kerr approached the crew and received an awkward stare of rejection.
Boston and Golden State split the regular-season series, 1-1, however the C’s sit as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference while the Warriors dropped to 11th in the West, still in search of answers as the season progresses.
In a recent interview, Steve Kerr shared details about a conversation he had with Jayson Tatum regarding the drama surrounding the Tokyo Olympics. Kerr, who is an assistant coach for Team USA, revealed that he had a heart-to-heart discussion with Tatum about his decision to withdraw from the Olympic team due to health and safety concerns.During the conversation, Kerr expressed his support for Tatum’s decision and emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being above all else. He also reassured Tatum that there would be no hard feelings or judgment from the team for his choice to opt out of the Olympics.
Kerr went on to explain that Tatum’s decision was understandable given the current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that athletes are facing in preparing for the Games. He commended Tatum for being thoughtful and responsible in his decision-making process and praised his maturity and professionalism throughout the situation.
Overall, Kerr’s conversation with Tatum highlighted the importance of open communication and understanding within the team, and served as a reminder of the human side of sports in the midst of a global crisis. The two men parted ways with a mutual respect and appreciation for each other, setting a positive example for how to handle difficult situations with grace and empathy.
