Stewart claims that Donald Trump's plan for mass deportation is imprecise and lacks a realistic or humane execution strategy.

“clearly larly an attempt to deport between 30 and 500 million people is going to be complicated so it's going to be important to know how carefully the former president would execute this plan”

The deportation of a non-criminal father who had protected status was a horrific and problematic action.

“And I think a human being being plucked out of nowhere and ending up in a country he's never been in, in a maximum security prison with gang members, seems like a bad thing to happen to me. It's horrific. It's horrific.”

The threshold for deportation must be extremely high because it is an inherently violent act that removes someone from their life and family.

“deportation is a violent process no an Zips or butts you're removing someone from their life their livelihood their family members their culture the the life that they grew up in it is an inherently violent act it's a very violent act and if the state has the capacity to engage in an inherently viol”

Mass deportations are a cruel and failed strategy that have been attempted by both parties in the past without success.

“Mass Deport is not the solution it won't ever they tried it trust me they may not have called it that but they've tried it they've gone after certain industries and sectors and showed up at at at workplaces they've tried it it didn't work”

The Trump administration's plan for mass deportation is a threat facilitated by the misuse of the Alien Enemies Act and the deputization of local police.

“they want to explicitly right like carry out the largest deportation in the history of the US by invoking something called the alien enemies act which is a war law right that was designed to give the president sweeping powers to racially profile detain and the poor any noncitizen”

The new EU return regulation is a necessary measure to expedite the deportation of migrants that should have been implemented much sooner.

“They should have been doing this a long, long time ago.”

The implementation of zero-tolerance policies at the border is a necessary action that logically includes the separation of families when parents are charged with illegal entry.

“if I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in the car I'm going to be separated when I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence I separated that”

A moratorium on immigration for one to five years is a necessary step to reform the immigration and visa systems.

“Moratorium on immigration. I mean I I agree. One to 5 years bare minimum. 5 years to one to five years bare minimum. I've said this for a minute. No more people in for one to five years.”

The EU's new policy of returning migrants to non-EU return hubs is a logical and necessary step to manage the immigration crisis.

“And this also allows the EU to send migrants to kind of return hubs in non-EU countries.”

Mass deportation is a necessary response to the crisis of millions of illegal immigrants entering the country and was affirmed by the popular vote in the recent election.

“I think that considering the circumstances of the election and the genuine Insanity of the status quo that we're in that me along with many people who saw what Trump was running on agreed with this idea put forward that every Power of the United States government should be brought to bear to deport ”

Illegal immigrants should be deported, but using national security or terrorism as a justification for bypassing due process sets a dangerous precedent.

“I'm all about it. Get rid of all the illegals. Sure. Let's not use terrorism. Let's not use the excuse of in the name of national security in order to get rid of all of our constitutional rights.”

The government must follow due process and provide clear evidence before deporting individuals, even those who entered the country illegally.

“What I don't think the American people voted for is getting rid of due process. The way you determine whether somebody is a criminal in this country is through the judicial system. You have to go through that process.”

Targeting specific criminals and those with removal orders is more effective for ICE than attempting mass deportations of the entire undocumented population.

“If we're really going to focus our resources on a specific subset of people, focus on people who are criminals and people with removal orders. and don't focus on the larger population because this makes the job of ICE much more difficult in the sense that it creates these inflammatory conditions”
