Former DHS Secretary Shreds Trump's Mass Deportation Plan With Harsh Reality Check
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Jeh Johnson, a former secretary of homeland security under President Barack Obama, schooled Donald Trump on Sunday as he shared a lesson on “enforcement” in response to the president-elect’s mass deportation plan. “So, to this idea of mass deportation, that would be the equivalent if you tried to deport everyone in this country who is undocumented, of the population of two New York Cities, which could not happen in my lifetime,” said Johnson in an appearance on “Meet the Press.” Johnson reacted to NBC News reporting that Trump plans to roll out his major campaign promise of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants along with other executive actions on “Day 1” of his presidency. Johnson, when asked how “complicated” it’d be for the president-elect to roll out the deportation plan, told host Kristen Welker that someone should pass a law banning executive orders on the first day of a new administration. “Because the reality is executive orders drafted by transition teams without the input of the affected agency before the Cabinet secretary is even confirmed are not great ideas,” Johnson explained.
