WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday that U.S. authorities would begin next week removing millions of immigrants who are in the United States illegally.

"Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States," Trump tweeted, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. "They will be removed as fast as they come in," he said. He did not offer specifics.

There are an estimated 12 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally, mainly from Mexico and Central America.

Under a deal reached earlier this month, Mexico has agreed to take Central American immigrants seeking asylum in the United States until their cases are heard in U.S. courts.

The agreement, which included Mexico pledging to deploy National Guard troops to stop Central American immigrants from reaching the U.S. border, averted a Trump threat to hit Mexican imports with tariffs. Trump also said in the tweet that Guatemala "is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement."
P.S. Vice President Mike Pence suggested last week that Guatemala could receive asylum seekers from its neighbors as a so-called safe third country.

13. But Malcolm, they WON'T do their jobs because...

the results of the inquiry didn't persuade enough Representatives and Senators that impeachment is necessary.

Oh, wait. The results of the inquiry comes BEFORE the vote on impeachment, but no one's begun an inquiry.

But it appears that Pelosi wants "persuasion" to occur before the evidence is shown. Through what mechanism?

An inquiry exposes the evidence for impeachment for all to see. In effect, Pelosi is inadvertently HIDING the evidence from the US public.

19. Precisely. Self-fullfilling prophecy. Public isn't fully

on board but they can't be if you don't present the case in an inquiry.

3. I've wondered since Jan. '17,

“who will tell ICE to stand down?”

understood why they don't just fine employers ... something is quite fishy about it all.

9. You mean the mostly white wealthy business and farm owners ????

10. Because a 250K home would cost 450K if built without undocumented labor

It is what it is. I grew up in the building trades in Texas. Call it socialism for homebuilders (substitute your own industry here). Isn't that the American way?

16. And a pound of hamburger would cost $30 (nt)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Exactly..so why do they want fewer immigrants?

They don't. But their base is full of bigots? Why no one including the press calls out this unbelievable hypocrisy - elephant in the room is astounding. Dems should mention it every day.

7. We have so many other priorities.

Trump is an asshole for obsessing about this.
