• Trump ally explains how mass deportations could work

    "TOPEKA, Kan. — A Kansas official who is an informal advisor to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on immigration issues doesn’t expect mass deportations to prompt arrests of migrants at
    sensitive locations such as schools and churches.
    But Kansas Atty. Gen. Kris Kobach does expect Trump to take action that
    will spark a legal challenge over the citizenship status of children
    born in the U.S. to immigrants living in the country illegally. He also
    expects Trump to encourage local and state law enforcement officers to
    help with efforts to arrest and detain migrants.
    Kobach has for two decades been one of the most influential lawyers in
    the Republican movement to restrict illegal immigration.
    ..
    Kobach: “Once there’s a massive enforcement effort going on, then a lot
    of people start leaving on their own.
    “You can put a multiplier on that number, and it’ll be a much greater number. They will start leaving on their own because they don’t want to
    get arrested. They want to leave on their own terms, and so I don’t know
    — we don’t know — what that multiplier number is going to be, but there will be one.”"
