Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

On the one hand, this would be awful.
On the other hand, this is the same group of folks who couldn't come up with an infrastructure bill or a health care plan, which are both far smaller in scale than deporting millions of people. Trump complained about the cost of burying a soldier, just wait until he sees what it'll cost to hire, train, equip, and manage all those stormtroopers.
Let's hope they don't decide it's too hard to depart people and just start shooting them.
This is going to happen. Whether or not it's ever "official policy", people are going to be killed by this.
you do realize there are still children, separated from their parents, who haven't been reunited? even in their incompetence, it's abject cruelty and hate.
There will be plenty of volunteers willing to do it for free, I'm sure. Plus if you're not bothered about any kind of process, legal structure or anything other than "let's racistly victimise some people with the tacit approval of the state", and if many of them die in the process that's actually a bonus in your view, then you can really cut down on costs.
If the deportation doesn’t have to be documented, they could just burn the people like trash, or, Jews… but apparently that never happened, and Schindler’s List is fiction.
Right, which means putting them in… let’s call them “camps,” and holding them there is cheaper than arranging transportation. This could also provide free labor… or “slaves” if you will, which has been at the top of the GOP’s… I mean, Confederate’s list of desires for centuries.
Gotta pay to build the camps, and nobody's gonna work for Trump without getting paid up front
Well speaking of that, Trump's not going to have to spend a dime, he will have all of America's money at his disposal.
Oh, they will all be privatized. And the income will be from selling them as labor.
