Remigration! Trump Promises to “Suspend Refugee Resettlement” and Return Illegals to Their Home Country

There has been a talking point that leftists have been using the last few days about Donald Trump’s statements regarding Haitian refugees. He has said multiple times that he will remove those who are here illegally, but leftists in corporate media have pointed out that they are refugees, not illegal aliens.

In a rare moment of accuracy, they are correct. The Haitian “refugees” in cities like Springfield, Ohio, are technically not here illegally. Democrats and RINOs like Ohio Governor Mike DeWine invited them here and gave them special privileges.

But just because they were invited doesn’t mean they cannot be uninvited, and that’s exactly what President Trump promised to do on Sunday. In a post on 𝕏, he said [emphasis added]:

As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. #MAGA2024!

Stopping entry and deportations have always been part of his Agenda 47, but now he has two new wrinkles. “Suspending refugee resettlements” is a big one in the current state of affairs because the controversies surrounding the Haitians in Springfield and elsewhere now fall under an official policy proposal. As for “remigration,” that’s another big one because it covers a different group than deportation.

Those who are here illegally or who break the law while here can be deported. But those who are here legally (technically speaking), such as refugees and those with pending asylum cases, can generally only be deported when laws are broken. Remigration would mean the Trump administration can return refugees and asylum seekers to their home countries even if they do not commit crimes.

With just over seven weeks until the 2024 election, it is important that the Trump campaign continues to disseminate their actual policies to diffuse the confusion surrounding Project 2025. But it’s even more crucial that he and his team apply their policies and even adjust them when necessary to match the current angst of the American people.
