After the last orchestra note fades and the final glasses of champagne are consumed at the inaugural balls, President Donald Trump’s meter will begin running by those on both sides of the contentious illegal immigration issue.
Advocates for strong border control and advocates for immigrant rights alike are watching the situation closely, including some in Mississippi. Trump in recent days has doubled down on the campaign promises to begin deportations as early as Jan. 21. Media reports indicate that President Trump plans to focus initial efforts in Chicago or other major metropolitan areas that have declared themselves “sanctuary cities” for immigrants by executive order. A weekend Wall Street Journal report quoted Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s incoming border czar, on comments he alleged made at a December holiday event that signals the launch of the deportation effort: “We’re going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois. And if the Chicago mayor (Brandon Johnson) doesn’t want to help, he can step aside. But if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, I will prosecute him.” History shows that Trump’s mass deportation campaign promise is not a first-time action by a U.S. president nor were past efforts met with particular resistance, as documented on Dec. 29 in a story by Politico’s Ali Blanco. Such efforts are indeed as old as the “Alien Activities Act of 1798” and efforts over the ensuing decades of American history aimed at blocking the entrance, deporting or expelling the Irish, Asians in general, the Japanese in particular, Mexicans and other Hispanic immigrants, Russians and Italians. Presidents engaged in some of these activities included Herbert Hoover, FDR, and Most even Chicago’s former U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, whose administration deported some three million immigrants. President Dwight Eisenhower authorized action against Mexican laborers in the 1950s. On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump made an unequivocal promise to begin on the “first full day” he’s in office the mass deportations of the estimated 11 million immigrants who are undocumented or otherwise in the U.S. illegally. Politically, illegal immigration and immigration issues are vastly overstated issues in Mississippi. Neither demographics nor fiscal reality supports the political alarm present. Globally, nations want to change immigration quotas, caps, and visa regulations to solve supply chain and worker shortage challenges. Mississippi’s unemployment rate is 3.1%. The advocacy group American Immigration Council identifies 64,600 immigrants in Mississippi (2.2% of the state’s total population) as of 2025, with 37,400 immigrant workers in the state’s workforce. AIC reports that 41.5% of Mississippi’s immigrants are naturalized U.S. citizens. Countries of origin include Mexico (25%) and India (7%). Most Mississippi immigrants work in construction (6.9%) and hospitality (5.1%). The group identifies 20,000 Mississippi immigrants as “undocumented” or otherwise illegal or 32% of the state’s immigrant population and 0.7% of the state’s population. The AIC reports that as about three percent of the state’s labor force, immigrant workers generate about $1.3 billion in spending power and pay $397.8 million in federal, state, and local taxes. The opposing Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) counters that illegal immigration is by far a net fiscal drain on Mississippi taxpayers. A Mississippi Office of the State Auditor report in 2024 estimated that illegal immigration costs state taxpayers over $100 million annually. But taking President Trump at his word, the pursuit, apprehension, and succeeding housing, feeding and transportation of 11 million undocumented or otherwise illegal immigrants is a task that will require law enforcement or military personnel and facilities across the country, it will be expensive. And even in red states like Mississippi that support the new president, there is a hunger among state and local governments to know how much of that expense Trump believes they should bear.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

So?
Get ready to pay a LOT more for construction and yard work. Immigrants are the only people you see doing that work.
And the Chinese and Mexican food is going up too.
So the AIC claims that 20,000 illegal aliens that are working are paying $20,000 in Federal, State and local taxes each year? I'm calling BS on that claim!
Get r done.
Just cutting off the free shit to the anchor babies will save a trillion dollars. End birthright citizenship and retroactively remove citizenship for those born in the last 20 years without US Citizen parents. Next they need to remove the tax rule that allows to claim unlimited dependents in Mexico on Taxes. That is right, that is how they are getting $50,000 tax returns. This right isn't extended to India, Asia, etc. Only Mexico and Canada have this tax loophole.
Most Mississippi immigrants work in construction (6.9%) and hospitality (5.1%)
Poultry plants?
Well, BYE!
Rev up those paddy wagons.
The White Liberal Yellow Dog Democrat author left out that his crime, chaos and criminal loving Democrat Party created this mess with sanctuary cities, i.e. by protecting the violent criminal thugs that they so very much love and adore.
Mass deportations in Chicago, as an example, will be a net positive political gain for Republicans. Mass deportations of non-criminal hard working migrants in Mississippi, the ones doing jobs lazy Americans with worthless degrees they were scammed into getting and are too uppity and too good to do, will be a net negative.
Be very careful what you wish for.
You will have to amend the Constitution to remove citizenship status for anchor babies. The 14th amendment:" All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
That executive order is going to fail in court. In fact, I predict if it goes to the Supremes, it will fail on a 7-2 or 9-0 vote.
December 2023 I got my master shower redone at a reasonable price. All done by Americans.
Democrats 1865: Who will pick our cotton?
Democrats 2025: Who will pick our vegetables?
KF - Trump has the mandate and the Republicans have the majority to make it happen. Hopefully they all have the cojones to make it happen.
8:48, heck I can redo my shower. You don't see many "Americans" outside putting shingles on a roof during summer I bet.
Deport the criminal aliens. Citizenship or work visas for the working aliens & their immediate family. No more of the roundup of Mississippi poultry workers.
Wrong as usual, KF. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/birthright-citizenship-isnt-real Don't quit your day job. Good thing you aren't sitting on a bench as a judge!
I still remember the first time I ever ate Mexican food. It was 1979, a place on Hardy called Mexican Kitchen near that used-to-be movie theater that now houses a laser tag enterprise. The owner was a fat old white man who ran the register. All the waitresse — er, pardon me — the servers were older white women. The ambiance of my dining experience has never been improved by my waiter — uhm, pardon me again — my server being named Jorge or Roberto. Deport them. Deport them all. And do it quick.
Newborns of illegals are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. They are subject to the jurisdiction of the parent's home country, thus birthright citizenship does not apply to them.
Also, the states have no say in the matter and thus their suits are moot. Constitutionally this is exclusively a federal matter, not a state matter.
Is Salter really publishing the Lie that there are only 11 million illegal aliens in the US? That false figure has been used since the Bush Administration.
There were more than 11 million illegal entries during the Biden administration alone.
The true figure is closer to 30 million and likely far higher.
20,000 undocumented in MS seems really low. There are at least 3-4k in scott county alone.
The fear mongering of price increases because the illegals will be going home is hilarious. Anyone remember how much it cost to build a house 4-5years ago versus now? Get the inflation under control and it would be a wash it seems like. No one wants to talk about that.
Also, the Mexican food you are eating is really Texican...it's not true Mexican food.
9:00 AM
Sure you can. The last person that did my show was owner done but done incorrectly. The only part they fucked up was the thinset beneath the floor tile. The most critical part of the shower. That necessitated taking everything back to the studs and taking out the old shower pan. I don't trust cut rate labor do quality tile work.
Any idiot can nail a piece of tar paper to decking so long as he can manage to not fall off the roof.
The only reason you see Mexicans is because Democrats won't back eVerify.
I have no problem with Hispanics. Most that I know are honest and hard working and take pride in everything they do. My issue is with the ones not doing it right, not paying taxes, taking a toll on the system. Also with the thugs and criminals. Do it right, get a visa or permanent citizenship and do good for society. What is coming across that border isn't just that type of Hispanic.
KF there is a legitimate argument about the second portion of that statement "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Of course it has been read to mean birthright citizenship without limits, but "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was originally derived from the 1866 Civil Rights Act. "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power".
8:26 am Even illegals run into a sales tax. The sales tax is one of the primary sources of revenue and what is allowing the state to reduce your income and property tax.
I've been in favor of immigration reform and border control before it was " fashionable". It starts with the immigration system and giving them the tools to do it efficiently and without losing people with some of the manpower and skills we need.
The Great Wall of China doesn't provide China with security nor do the castle walls of Europe. Walls can and have been breached and destroyed by weather. What does provide security is these days is natural barriers (the White Cliffs of Dover are still not climbed), technology and manpower. Walls deteriorate and fall down. They certainly can be blown apart by explosives or tunneled under.
I would remind you that Einstein was an immigrant as is Musk. Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1971. Igor Fruman was Soviet born and Trump's wife was born in what used to be Soviet Yugoslavia and arrived as an immigrant. More than a few of our military troops have come home with wives from the foreign countries in which they were stationed. And, lonely men here have paid to have foreign brides. So, I don't think one size fits all . Nor do I think a "mass roundup" can be done without some big time mistakes. How someone looks and sounds won't be enough.
Drones, cameras, strategically placed border agents in sufficient number and who have the equipment they need, is a better option. You need adequate security at ports and airports. It's what most countries do in the places their borders are porous.
I would also remind you that if we had the labor needed, there would be no jobs available. I'm sorry to tell you white people have among us, those who are lazy, impaired or incompetent. I wish skin color or facial features made those who are "trifling'", or crazy or criminal were easily recognizable, but we have to see their bad behavior. Bummer.
Unfortunately, too many of us are willing these days to let the media and celebrities think for us or who want a governmental system like that of China or Russia where there is one party with one leader and token representation from different parts of the country where the party elects local government who may rise to higher levels.
Frankly, it's pretty hard to tell the difference between the current Russian President and a Czar except the Czar didn't have media control. What's the difference in a Russian oligarch and the only Russian Dukes and Princes? The same is true for President Xi or a Chinese emperor. In Iran, there's difference between the President of Iran and the Shah, it's the Iman's with the wealth and power and the President is just a puppet.
We humans keep repeating history. You might ask yourself why that is. Doesn't matter now, we've decided that to compete we have to be like Russia and China and believe that fixing what is broke is easy and done with the stroke of a pen. So be it.
To add, KF, Native Americans didn't become citizens until congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. Why wouldn't Native Americans get citizenship until 1924 unless the 14th amendment was only to declare ex-slaves and their children citizens and exclude native americans.
I just don't know how I will survive with the cost of mexican and chinese food prices increasing. It's soooo delicious.
If a person comes into the US illegally, they have broken the law. That's where it begins and ends. And if you are one of the people who say let's ignore the law, then what other laws can we ignore?
8:48 am, how odd you pick 1865 as if the South didn't lie in ruins with Jackson burned to the ground as were many plantations and ordinary farms.
Lilly white American citizens just fixed some things on my property. Unfortunately, they messed up a couple of things.I hope you don't get any leaks you won't see for a while. Good luck. And, by the way, my American made old appliances still work, I've had to replace the newer one...built in obsolescence...it's all about money these days. That's THE real problem. Honor and durability are but two of the casualties.
Toting water for RINO chicken plant millionaires and the roofers who “act” with the white managers on TV ads but whose crews are 100 illegals. Same with our farmers. They take GubMint Welfare all day long and swear they are conservative but have brought this disaster upon America. Koch Kommunists and LiberaLtarians. Selling out white and black Americans for greater personal gain and lying about it. The Dems love our roofers and construction bosses. Oh but Ima raise prices!! Hire citizens. Pay a fair wage. And still prosper.
Yeah I got rear-ended in Pearl at Highway 80 and Airport by one of those honest hard workers. He plowed his work truck into my car. He begged me to not call the police and told me his cousins could fix my car. He had a rosary hanging from his rear view mirror. He wanted to escape but my fellow citizens blocked him in. When pearl PD showed up he was arrested for DUI and he had no insurance.
As far as Salter goes the subject matter here doesn't matter. He will always take the side against conservatives, He is a 100%partisan hack and I don't take any of his ideology driven drivel as factual.
Americans aren't too lazy to work. Americans have access to "benefits" which keep their bellies full even if they don't work. Take away the "disability" checks for crap like migraines and social anxiety, and watch how many people get back to work.
So you hate the Constitution?
Take the wheel. Steer the car. Let’s see where you take us.
I would like to explain to people how it is to live close to some of these illegals.
1. Every day they leave for work with a truck pulling an empty trailer. Every evening they come home with a full truck and a full trailer. They empty the contents of both in their back yard. It can be anything from big chunks oc concrete to scraps to building supplies.
2. Every friday evening they gather to enjoy their time off by having a big bonfire in their back yard. Usually they have plenty of empty beer cases to have a large one. Burn bans mean nothing to them and there is no one you can call to report the fires to. The party has to have music loud enough to be heard over the drunken yelling of the party goers. The more they drink the louder they yell and the louder the music is.
3. Nothing in your yard is safe from them. They will throw their trash into your backyard. It isn't unusual to find large sacks of chicken feathers and guts in your back yard.
4. Along with all of the junk, the bonfire ashes and scraps will be cars, vans, and trucks hidden behind their house.
Great neighbors. We all would like to have more of them. Let me know if you want a few.
A few years ago I put new shingles on my house. I had never even picked up a shingle before. I did the job by myself. It doesn't take much training, knowledge, or experience to nail down a shingle.
@11:06 Not at all. The birthright citizenship is not in the constitution.
See 9:12's comment. The courts themselves have historically recognized this distinction, noting that the whole purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment was to grant citizenship to former slaves who obviously were not connected to any other country or sovereign. In the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1872), the court ruled:
That [the Fourteenth Amendment’s] main purpose was to establish the citizenship of the negro can admit of no doubt. The phrase ‘subject to its jurisdiction’ was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.”
This was further confirmed by the Court in 1884 (in Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94) when the Court stated that the idea of birthright citizenship did not apply to Native American tribes which were nonetheless within the borders of the United States:
“[The Fourteenth Amendment] contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only: birth and naturalization. The persons declared to be citizens are ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ The evident meaning of these last words is, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. And the words relate to the time of birth in the one case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other. Persons not thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterwards, except by being naturalized, either individually, as by proceedings under the naturalization acts; or collectively, as by the force of a treaty by which foreign territory is acquired. Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States, members of, and owing immediate allegiance to, one of the Indian tribes (an alien though dependent power,) although in a geographical sense born in the United States, are no more ‘born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’ within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government, or the children born within the United States, of ambassadors or other public ministers of foreign nations.”
In short, the court recognized that the tribal lands were within the legal jurisdiction of the United States, but this did not mean that everyone born within those borders was automatically granted citizenship. Those tribal members believed to be subjects of “foreign” tribal governments were therefore not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States in a way that conferred automatic citizenship.
Congress further reinforced the court’s interpretation by adopting new legislation granting citizenship to all tribal members in 1924. Had the Fourteenth Amendment really granted automatic citizenship to everyone born within the borders of the United States, no such legislation would have been necessary.
Only in the United States does there appear to be widespread confusion about this.
If you have a child in China, the UK, or the EU, that Child is a US citizen. Not an issue outside of the USA. People understand. It is the current interpretation of the 14th amendment that makes the US a target for every third world tourist to try and birth their spawn on our soil for citizenship.
I think Trump should order New Mexico to be renamed New America and all Mexican restaurants be referred to as American restaurants cause they in America. Someone please put a plan together in 30 days to make this happen. So ordered by your very very very smart commander in chief.
We had strawberries, avocados, roofers and yard work long before 20M latino illegals invaded. I worked in restaurants, agriculture and construction as a caucasian teen and in summers of college. BTW, I prefer Mexico to grow produce and truck it up here. We can negotiate the tarrifs.
Wide-Scale deportations
Just wait for what you are asking for.
