The argument that mass deportations are some impossible ordeal is only defended by those that are deeply invested in that they don't happen.

Most illegal immigrants are only in the US for economic reasons. Don't give them any welfare, make hiring them actually illegal and punish the companies that hire them. When this happens, many of them will just go back to their country.

Then if somehow their countries refused to take in their own citizens, they can just be sanctioned, or stop being given foreign aid by the US.

The only reason you believe that mass deportations are impossible and would cause an apocalyse, is because you really want it to be true.




Hello again, I hope you have had a good couple weeks.

Today Trump said he would use the military to do mass deportations.

Can you help me understand how you square his words with your belief that actually he won't do this?


Yesterday trump's press secretary said he will "begin the largest mass deportation" on day 1.
