Stephen Miller on the Trump deportation plan: "So you build these facilities where then you're able to say, you know, hypothetically, three times a day are the flights back to Mexico. Two times a day are the flights back to the Northern Triangle, right.

Miller: "On Monday and Friday are the flights back to different African countries, right. On Thursday & Sunday are the flights back to different Asian countries. So you create this efficiency by having these standing facilities where planes are moving off the runway constantly"

Miller: "Then in terms of personnel, you go to the red state governors and you say, give us your National Guard. We will deputize them as immigration enforcement officers. They know their states, they know their communities, they know their cities."

"The Alabama National Guard is going to arrest illegal aliens in Alabama and the Virginia National Guard in Virginia. And if you're going to go into an unfriendly state like Maryland, well, there would just be VA doing the arrest in Maryland, right, very close, very nearby"

Miller: "So you have experienced ICE veterans who are leading the operations & then you scale up the personnel by bringing in both other federal law enforcement officers..think DEA, ATF, et cetera, and then the National Guardsmen. And then...state and local sheriffs as well"

How many people would this target? Miller: "Well, I mean, even using conservative numbers, I mean, you're going to be looking at 10 million illegals that Biden would have let in."

More Miller: "this is very rarely mentioned. Visa overstays are a massive national security threat. ..And then, one other group are people who were let in on visas but whose views, attitudes, and beliefs make them ineligible to stay in the country."

Miller: "So the obvious example here would be all of the Hamas supporters who are rallying across the country, who are here on various kinds of visas with the permission of the U.S. government." In sum: "So it's a very large volume of people that will need to be removed."
