Donald Trump Immigration Plan: Mexico Prepares For Mass Deportations Under President-Elect Term

Although it seems as if America will be the only country affected by the election of Donald Trump as the new president, turns out that other countries will be feeling the wrath as well. After Trump has been very vocal about getting undocumented immigrants out of the country, neighboring country Mexico is preparing for mass deportations.

According to FOX News Latino, Mexico is not wasting anytime preparing for the inevitable- the retuen of undocumented immigrants. While there is nothing wrong with natives returning home, with no job prospects immigrants may seek illegal options to make a living.

“What's going to happen is that these individuals are going to return back to Mexico and they have no jobs, so they are going to feed the ranks of the cartels there," said Mike Vigil, former chief of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and author of the book "Metal Coffins: The Blood Alliance Cartel."

The site reports that four years ago, the U.S. government estimated about 1.9 million immigrants were criminals and could face deportation. Of those, 820,000 of those were in the United States illegally.

Throughout Trump's campaign, immigration has been a huge topic and Mexico has taken notice. Government officials fear that many of the jobless deportees will end up swelling the ranks of drug cartels, sparking even more violence.

Although the fear is realistic for many, some Mexicans believe that Trump will not be able to carry out all of his plans against immigration.

"Political reality will make it clear that many of the proposals against Mexicans are simply not feasible, neither the deportation of all undocumented migrants, nor the construction of the wall," the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico City wrote in an editorial.

One of Trump's promises within his first 100 days in office is to "begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back."

The only problem is that once Trump moves into office, he could move to have immigration agents quickly start arresting people already under orders to leave for being in the U.S. illegally. There were about 88,000 people in that category as of 2015.

While it is still pretty early, Mexican officials are hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
