Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that over 1.6 million undocumented immigrants have voluntarily left the United States in the past 200 days. She credits this development to the immigration policies of former President Donald Trump, claiming they are effective in managing illegal immigration.
Noem shared this information in a post on X, where she highlighted the positive effects of these departures on American communities. She stated, "This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services, and better job opportunities for Americans." Her comments were made during a Fox News appearance, where she emphasized that Trump’s strategies are keeping Americans safe.
In her statements, Noem expressed gratitude towards Trump, saying that his leadership has made a significant impact. She noted that the message about the need for compliance with immigration laws has resonated globally, leading many to leave the country voluntarily. "The world got the message. They’re leaving on their own, which is the best thing for American citizens," she remarked.
Noem also reflected on Trump’s foresight regarding immigration issues, saying he had a clear plan to enforce laws and discourage illegal crossings even before his election. She believes that the significant number of departures demonstrates the effectiveness of these policies.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these developments will influence ongoing discussions about immigration reform and border security in the United States.
