Not even time for him to officially take his place in the White House before the international media in general, and the Italian ones in particular, have already started again with the litany of “deportations”. “Donald Trump deports migrants”, “Migrant hunt”, “Mass deportations”. It’s bullshit. Or rather: it is a linguistic trick implemented for some time now and which erroneously translates the term “deportation” into “deportation“, so as to evoke the memory of Nazi trains, when it comes to banal expulsions of irregular immigrants. That is, illegal immigrants.
It would be enough to remember, as the BBC does, that the United States immigration office continually “deports illegal migrants”. He did it with Kamala Harris And Joe Biden in power. And it also happened with the Holy Immaculate Barack Obama who chased away, or rather “deported”, more illegal immigrants than The Donald managed to send away during his first term. Yes, of course: Biden’s guidelines provided that priority would be given to illegal immigrants convicted of a crime, who had recently crossed the border or posed a threat to national security. But Joe had not abolished the “deportations” at all.
It is possible that Trump intends to speed up the expulsions? Possible. Do you want to allow agents to search for illegal immigrants even in churches? Maybe. Ultimately, this is what he promised to voters who, in 55% of cases, according to polls, support a hard-line approach in terms of migration. However, there will be no “foreigner hunt” or mass deportation trains: no one will be taken from home if they have the right to stay in the United States with a regular residence permit.
However, given that the term “deportation” is popular, let it at least be used for everyone. It’s news from a week ago that Germany Olaf ScholzSocial Democratic German Chancellor and ally of Elly Schlein, increased the deportations of migrants in the last year. If in 2023 it had kicked out 16,430 people, in 2024 i deported 18,384 rose. In total they make up around 35 thousand people, not counting previous years: a mass of people from Georgia, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia and Iraq. Yet no one gave Scholz a mustache and passed him off as the new Hitler.
