Self-Deportation: Numbers Are Exploding - Interview with Esther Valdez-Clayton

The immigration system in America is changing fast. Today Eric Rice sits down with immigration attorney and Fox News legal analyst Esther Valdez-Clayton to break down how immigration courts, workplace raids, banking restrictions, and federal policy shifts are reshaping illegal immigration in the United States. According to Esther, immigration courts are now functioning as “deportation courts,” with cases moving faster than they have in years. She explains how self-deportations are rising, why employers may become the next major target, and how financial pressure is pushing undocumented immigrants to leave voluntarily. Inside this conversation: - Why immigration courts are moving deportation cases faster than ever - What is behind the reported 2.2 million self-deportations? - How banks helped undocumented immigrants open accounts for years - Why workplace raids may become the norm - Trump administration’s primary strategy - The economic impact of illegal immigration on jobs, housing, and wages Marco Rubio’s role in pressuring foreign governments to cooperate - What Temporary Protected Status (TPS) rulings could mean for millions Whether you agree or disagree politically, this conversation goes beyond the headlines and focuses on what’s actually happening inside the courts and federal agencies. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on economics, geopolitics, immigration, and the future of America.
