Sunday bombshell: Pool for deportation is up to 1 million illegals who have already had due process

American Thinker:

Sunday morning’s network talking head shows yielded one eye-popping statement. Acting Citizenship and Immigration Services head Ken Cuccinelli toldCBS’s Face the Nation:

“They’re ready to just perform their mission, which is to go and find and detain and then deport the approximately one million people who have final removal orders,” Acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli said on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) branch charged with removal operations.

Cuccinelli, an immigration hardliner who took the helm of the agency last month, said it is within ICE’s discretion to determine who among those with final orders of deportation will be targeted in operations, suggesting the full pool of approximately one million immigrants might not face deportation after all.

“They’ve been all the way through the due process and have final removal orders. Who among those will be targeted for this particular effort … is really just information kept within ICE at this point,” he added. “The pool of those with final removal orders is enormous.”

The number one million has tremendous resonance: it is what first comes to mind as a really big number. It signals “mass deportations” – a bugaboo for Democrats and advocates of illegal immigration.

Having Cuccinelli lay out this number serves two functions.

    Maybe the hope is that many will self deport if the word gets out we are coming for them.
    Maybe President Trump wants this to become an issue the democraps are willing rage about, resulting in more votes for him.
