(Apr. 14, 2025) — Donald Trump got off to a great start in his second presidency. The border is under control and the administration has deported over 100,000 illegal aliens.
But is the Trump administration now going to allow deported illegals to reenter the country?
Is Trump going to have his own amnesty?
That’s what Trump said.
Don’t believe me?
Watch this clip from Trump’s televised cabinet meeting on April 10:
Trump called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who started off well:
“Well, Mr. President, thank you for your leadership at the border. For the second month in a row, you have broken the record in the history of the nation for the lowest number of encounters at the border, which is absolutely remarkable. You have said that America’s laws matter and that they’ll be enforced. And we’re hard at work now to get people to go back home that are here illegally.”
Sounds great.
But in her conversation about getting illegal aliens back to their home countries, she slipped this in:
“And so making sure that these folks have the opportunity to go home so that they can get the chance to come back to America is important.”
Whoa, what did she say there?
I think we can all agree that the goal is to get these illegal aliens to go back to their home countries. But Sec. Noem says it’s “important” that they get the opportunity to return to America?
Trump didn’t correct her.
“Sure, it’s a very big self-deport operation that we’re starting,” Trump said.
Yes, self-deportation is good, but it should happen as a result of mass deportations.
After Noem finished her report, Trump doubled down on the bizarre policy goal of bringing back self-deportees.

Calm down, Mr. Wall. President Trump isn’t about to do what you implied he is thinking about doing. What he said was illegals will have 60 days to self-deport and those that do that will be allowed to come back the legal way, and those that don’t self-deport won’t be allowed back.
