Conclusion
*A total of 237,941 people were deported from the interior in fiscal year 2009; in 2018, 95,360. (Alex Nowrasteh, “Trump Administration Continues to Expand Interior Immigration Enforcement,” December 14, 2018, cato.org.)
*Already in August 2016, candidate Trump hinted that he was open to some sort of legalization. At a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity, he literally polled the audience on what he should do. “I’ll ask the audience, you have somebody who’s terrific, who’s been here … long time … can we go through a process, or do you think they have to get out? Tell me. I mean, don’t know. You tell me.” (Dara Lind, “What the Hell Is Going on with Trump and Immigration, Explained,” vox.com, August 25, 2016.)
*Demos is a Greek word that political philosophers use to describe “the people” and who gets included and excluded from it.
