This is what I, and most Americans wanted all along - a fast, no nonsense ejection of illegals booted right back across the border.
After this epidemic is over, I expect this to continue. After all, it's already in place. It's common sense. And it follows the law.
Perhaps we'll have to revisit this in 2024, but I'm hopeful that everyone sees the light.
The age-old argument from Democrats about this : "But who will pick our tomatoes? Prices will go up!" Yes, Karen, the prices will go up because the farmers will be paying a living wage. $0.20 more per tomato won't kill you, but it will pay for an American to pick your tomato and he will be adding his payroll taxes and other taxes into the National Kitty so that all benefit from this lawful enterprise.
Whenever I hear that old argument of who will pick the tomato or avacado, I'm reminded of the democrat's arguments back when slavery was being debated - it was going to kill the cotton industry, you know. Seems to me our cotton industry did - and is - doing just fine without slaves picking the cotton.

Migrants who cross into the United States illegally are being expelled to Mexico in an average of 96 minutes under emergency coronavirus measures now in force across the U.S. southern border, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of the latest government statistics.
The pandemic has allowed the U.S. Border Patrol to implement the kind of rapid-fire deportation system President Trump has long extolled as his preferred approach to immigration enforcement.
Under the new rules, U.S. agents are processing migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras “in the field” before they are able to set foot inside a U.S. Border Patrol station. The migrants are then whisked back to the border and sent into Mexico.
The migrants are not given medical exams while in U.S. custody, which is one of the reasons agents are able to send them back to Mexico so quickly, according to one Customs and Border Protection official who, like the others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the process because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
“The goal is to minimize the exposure to the alien, agent and our country,” the CBP official said.
The flow of unauthorized border crossings has plunged since the emergency measures were implemented on March 21, down from more than 1,000 per day to fewer than 600 on Sunday, the latest statistics show.
Mexican nationals account for about 60 percent of those taken into custody, and migrants from Central America’s “Northern Triangle” nations account for about 26 percent, which means Border Patrol agents are sending more than 85 percent of the migrants they detain right back to Mexico.

This is very nice to see our BP agents finally able to do their jobs efficiently like they've always wanted to do. Nothing more frustrating than trying to do your job while one hand is tied behind your back from PC liberals openly defying and hindering Federal Law. Especially those in Congress who write the laws defying ones already on the books.
