To fulfill his campaign pledge to crack down on those entering the U.S. illegally, President Trump recently invoked a centuries-old wartime authority to deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants over the weekend — despite a federal judge’s order to return any planes carrying those migrants to the U.S.

Other recent examples of Trump’s hard-line deportation tactics include the arrest of a Lebanese doctor on a legal visa, a former Columbia University graduate student with a green card, and multiple immigrants who are either married to U.S. citizens or have lived in the country for years.

Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Ruben Navarrette explains why he says he isn’t opposed to deporting immigrants in the U.S. illegally, but believes Trump’s haphazard and aggressive approach risks devastating mistakes that could harm Americans and the industries that rely on immigrant labor.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

I believe that’s a really bad idea for immigration officials to set a daily, weekly or monthly quota for removals, or have one set for them by the White House, as appears to be the case now with the Trump administration. If immigration agents feel intense pressure to apprehend a certain number of undocumented immigrants, well, they’re likely to get sloppy and make mistakes. U.S.-born Latinos or those with legal status will get caught up in the net, and racial profiling will become rampant. A strategy that might just get results in the private sector is likely to only get messy when implemented in the public sector.

And finally, I believe the real problem with the immigration debate is not that there is too much cruelty or too much leniency, it’s that there’s not enough honesty. Americans are a proud people. We’re much too proud, in fact, to admit our dependence on undocumented labor. We can’t get very far in fixing a problem if we can’t even be honest about what the problem really is and how we got here. Immigrants keep coming because we keep hiring them to do jobs that we don’t want to do. It’s always been this way. Why not just accept that fact and then fashion a solution that takes into account our dependency on foreign labor, which is only getting worse?

So you see, there’s a right way to do deportations, and then there’s a wrong way. Now take a wild guess which way the Trump administration is doing them.
