Article snippet: Last week, President Trump backed down on a plan to deport about 2,000 illegal alien families that have been ordered deported by immigration judges, saying he would use the effort as a bargaining tool in talks with Democrats to pass legislation that reforms the country’s asylum laws. During an interview with Fox News Sunday‘s Chris Wallace, Cotton asked if the U.S. cannot deport even illegal aliens with final deportation orders, who can be deported? The exchange went as follows: As Breitbart News’s Neil Munro reported, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) plan to trade amnesty for illegal aliens in exchange for asylum reforms has gotten a boost from Trump’s delaying the deportation plan. Currently, there are more than 1.7 million illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico who have deportation orders or pending deportation orders that have yet to be deported from the U.S. This includes nearly 645,000 illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico who have final orders for deportation and about 1.1 million illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico with pending deportation orders.
