In a recent segment on Breitbart News Daily, Ken Cuccinelli, former Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, offered an expert take on what would be necessary to deport the over ten million illegals who have been welcomed into the United States under the current administration. He painted a picture of a Herculean logistical task that would make even the most seasoned event planner tremble. Apparently, deporting a million people isn’t just a walk in the park; it’s a full-blown military operation that could put D-Day to shame.
Cuccinelli pointed out a fact that the current administration seems to overlook: it is a law to detain everyone who is here illegally. However, under the Biden regime, it turns out that ICE’s holding capacity is shockingly low—less than 30,000 individuals. With the recent influx of illegal crossings, the math doesn’t exactly add up. It’s like trying to crowd an entire stadium into a bus. That raises the eyebrow more than just a casual “oops” on the Biden team’s part.
The Laken Riley Act might promise a renewed focus on security, but Cuccinelli laid out just how daunting this mission truly is. Imagining the logistics of removing a million people a year is more than just ambitious; it’s downright Sisyphean. To put it plainly, it would take roughly 50 jumbo jets carrying deportees, operating every single day of the year. It’s a logistics nightmare that would make a supply chain manager weep into their coffee.
Much easier than you wanna admit Ken…

In a daring suggestion that could ruffle a few feathers in the plush offices of Washington’s elite, Cuccinelli theorized that if cooperation isn’t readily forthcoming, perhaps the U.S. should opt for a more “hands-on” approach. He suggested military planes could literally drop off migrants back in their home countries, perhaps with a little extra emphasis on “landing somewhat forcibly.” Who knew transportation could double as a homecoming party?
The takeaway from Cuccinelli’s spirited and humorous breakdown is a harsh reality check. The number of illegals is so staggering that it dwarfs previous efforts at any large-scale government operation in living memory. The hope lies in self-deportation, which, under the current crackdown on work permits, could become the best plan. But then again, with the Biden administration’s knack for creating chaos, one has to wonder if the only thing that will self-deport is the sanity of the American public.
