Former President Donald Trump's most significant policy plank in his third presidential campaign is to implement a system of mass deportation to remove up to 20 million noncitizens from the United States, a plan that apparently aims to not only remove people living here illegally but also to chase away or accidentally round up U.S. citizens as well.
Update on thread topic...
Trump says there's 'no price tag' for his mass deportation plan
www.nbcnews.com
... President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News on Thursday that one of his first priorities upon taking office in January would be to make the border "strong and powerful." When questioned about his campaign promise of mass deportations, Trump said his administration would have "no choice" but to carry them out. ...
As a candidate, Trump had repeatedly vowed to carry out the "largest deportation effort in American history." Asked about the cost of his plan, he said, "It's not a question of a price tag. It's not " really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they're going to go back to those countries because they're not staying here. There is no price tag."
It's unclear how many undocumented immigrants there are in the U.S., but acting ICE Director Patrick J. Lechleitner told NBC News in July that a mass deportation effort would be a huge logistical and financial challenge. Two former Trump administration officials involved in immigration during his first term told NBC News that the effort would require cooperation among a number of federal agencies, including the Justice Department and the Pentagon. ...
@#62 ... Deportation wont tear us apart. Democrats thinking they can stick us with 20 million illegals and criminals will tear us apart. ...
It is not the Democrats that have encouraged the immigration, but companies and corporations looking for cheap labor.
Oh, and there's this ...
Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate (September 2024)
nij.ojp.gov
... An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes.[emphasis mine]
The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.[1] ...
Perhaps undocumented immigrants want to obey the law because if they don't the punishment is being deported which seems to be against their aim.
So they tend to be law-abiding.
@#69 ... Once these people have been rounded up and put in the deportation camps ...
OK, let me take a step back from the scenario proposed in your comment.
And ask ...
Who will be rounding up these undocumented people?
Who?
Number of full-time law enforcement officers in the United States from 2004 to 2022
www.statista.com
So, as of 2022, let's say 750,000 law enforcement people in the US.
OK, how many of those officers will be devoted to deportation?
And, what about the usual law-enforcement duties that they had been doing?
Who will be doing those duties?
That is why I ask, what is Pres-elect Trump's plan to carry out what he has promised to do (multiple times) in the early days of his term.
On or shortly after Jan 20 2025, President Trump will lay all those lies to rest and the people who were jailed will regain their freedom.

So, what you righties think about Rubio and Salazar saying Trump is going to deport the criminals rather than the illegals who have families and are paying taxes? is that going to be enough for you?:
"I am sure that the Trump administration is not going to be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years that have American kids, that don't have criminal records, that have been working in the economy and paying taxes," Florida Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar said in a PBS interview. Her Miami-Dade district is home to about 200,000 undocumented people.www.nbcnews.com
"I am sure that they're going to hone in on the criminals who arrived less than four years ago," she added.
Asked in the interview whether she got those assurances from Trump or someone in his potential administration, Salazar didn't directly answer, but said she is "going to be one of those voices making sure within the GOP to make that distinction."
And Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in an NBC News interview Wednesday that Trump has "made clear that his priority is to deport dangerous criminals. People that are in this country and are criminals in their home country, or are committing crimes here, they will be the priority for removal from this country."
I think the Germans had a word for it....

Remember when Trump had to bail out farmers because his tariffs hurt them very badly??
Posted by LauraMohr
Most of the people who voted for him don't:
I saw this in multiple discussions I had with people supporting Trump. I'd say "Tariffs will hurt you, like they did the last time." And they were like..."Last time?"
