  • President-elect Trump has made ambitious promises on the border and immigration, including the biggest deportation operation ever seen. But much like in Trump's first term in office, his immigration agenda faces significant roadblocks.

The article from MSN discusses the challenges former President Donald Trump would face in implementing his proposed stringent border policies if he were to return to office. Trump's plans include mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and reinstating a ban on travel from certain Muslim-majority countries. However, these initiatives would encounter significant legal and logistical hurdles. Legal experts argue that policies like ending birthright citizenship would likely be struck down by the courts as unconstitutional, given the 14th Amendment's clear language. Additionally, mass deportation efforts would require vast resources, potentially overwhelming current systems and facing opposition from both political parties and civil rights groups. The article also notes that Trump's previous attempts at similar policies were met with legal challenges and public outcry, suggesting that any new efforts would likely meet similar resistance. Furthermore, the political landscape has shifted, with some Republicans showing reluctance to support such extreme measures, complicating the legislative path for these policies.
