WASHINGTON. – US President-elect Donald Trump’s planned sweeping changes could be an uphill climb, experts have said.
“Trump will not be able to deport as many people as he says because of the logistical difficulties,” Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West told Xinhua, referring to Trump’s irregular migrant deportation plan, which tops his policy list outlined in an interview Sunday with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“It will be hard for him to identify criminals and there will have to be immigration court proceedings to move people out of the country,” West said.
“Some nations may not accept the arrivals and in a number of places, state and local officials will not cooperate with federal immigration agents. It will be messy and hard to implement in a humane manner,” West said.
“This is a policy that is certain to result in mistaken identifications, attempts to deport citizens, violence all around, and also efforts from elected officials in blue states and cities to prevent their police forces, National Guard units, and so on from being used for this,” said Christopher Galdieri, a political science professor at Saint Anselm College in the northeastern state of New Hampshire. – Xinhua.
