President Donald Trump wants to deport 1 million immigrants from this country by the end of his first year in office.

No modern U.S. president has ever hit such a level of deportations.

Experts say the president is unlikely to achieve that number in one year's time even if the heavier volume of returns are included.

Frida Ghitis : Trump administration has shown it is unfazed by cruelty.

She says immigration has no correlation with public safety threats.

Ghitis says immigration less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born people.

She adds that immigration is not linked to crime; crime rates have trended downwards.
