Wayne Allyn Root presents a bold analysis of the current immigration situation in the United States, emphasizing the need for immediate action against illegal immigration. His perspective hinges on the significant number of undocumented individuals in the country and the economic impact they have on American citizens.
Root begins by outlining the successes he attributes to President Trump’s policies, noting that over 2 million illegals have left the U.S. This number includes both deportations and those who have chosen to self-deport. He highlights the positive job growth for American workers—2.5 million new jobs—contrasted with the 1.6 million illegal alien jobs that have been eliminated. Root’s enthusiasm is palpable as he exclaims, “Bravo! Thank you, President Trump,” for what he sees as a proactive approach to immigration enforcement.
However, Root acknowledges the difficulties that lie ahead, pointing out the substantial numbers of illegal immigrants still in the country. He estimates a staggering 25 million entered during the last four years of the prior administration, with a total of 45 to 50 million estimated to be residing in the U.S. He draws a stark parallel, comparing the current immigration crisis to a military invasion, stating, “The world sent 50 million to invade America.” This framing intensifies his argument, positioning immigration as not just a policy issue but a matter of national security.
Root’s analysis pivots to the economic consequences of illegal immigration, arguing that those who rely on government assistance are the biggest burden on society. He describes these individuals as “freeloaders and economic suicide bombers,” claiming that they are responsible for driving up the national debt and siphoning resources from American families. His call for prioritizing the deportation of illegal immigrants receiving government aid reflects a desire to focus efforts where he believes they will have the most significant impact on American society.
To tackle what he perceives as a convoluted approach to immigration enforcement, Root proposes a more streamlined and strategic plan. He advises the Trump administration to concentrate efforts in red states and cities that are supportive of ICE operations while withdrawing from blue areas, which he views as resistant to cooperation. This, he argues, will force illegal immigrants to migrate to blue jurisdictions, overwhelming those areas and causing strains on resources.
In his vision, the result will lead to a breakdown of blue state economies due to the influx of illegal immigrants. Root claims, “Blue cities and blue states will become real-life versions of Mel Gibson’s classic movie ‘Mad Max.’” This imagery serves to underline his dire predictions for areas that resist his proposed deportation strategy.
Root also proposes cutting federal funding to sanctuary cities, framing this tactic as a crucial step to alleviating the economic pressures he believes such cities will face. He asserts that the conditions will eventually lead to a collapse in those jurisdictions, with taxpayers fleeing to red states where he predicts life will dramatically improve. The rhetorical strategy here serves a dual purpose: appealing to those concerned about economic ramifications while also painting a vivid picture of success in red states.
He concludes with the notion that once illegal immigrants are consolidated into blue cities, deportation will become an easier task—“like deporting fish in a barrel.” This bold statement encapsulates his belief that clarity in strategy—even amid complex social issues—will lead to effective solutions.
Root’s analysis is a rallying cry for a more aggressive stance on immigration, using both anecdotal successes and stark predictions to make his case. He frames the debate not merely as politics but as a battle for the future of American stability and prosperity.
