Trump doesn't rule out using private force to deport illegal immigrants. Thoughts?

[Cubus]

President Donald Trump said Thursday he had not read former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince’s mass deportations proposal, but he “wouldn’t be opposed” to using private forces to help carry out his vow to remove millions of undocumented immigrants.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to it, necessarily, but I’d go to our military people, and I’d go to Tom Homan and Kristi [Noem] — I’d go to the various [people] and ask,” Trump said of his border czar and Homeland Security secretary. “But I don’t see it as being — we’re doing unbelievably and getting people out, getting criminals out.”

The government hires many contractors, for a wide variety of things. The Pinkertons have been used many times for security. Whatever helps rid the country of dangerous illegals, while staying within the law... most people are in favor.

A private force could probably do the job more efficiently than a government agency, and that is probably what motivates many to oppose such a proposal.

President Trump has a short 4 years to deport maybe 20 million illegal aliens. It is a huge undertaking and will be a big job. He is keeping his options open. Maybe we should form a few NGOs to take on some of the tasks that are not sanctioned to have the government do. The government funds the NGOs and they do the job, Bingo Bango.
