Experts Mock Trump after Mexico Refuses to let Deportation Flight Land

For years, Mexico has allowed the United States' deportation flights to cross over its airspace when flying undocumented immigrants back to their home countries without incident. But that's apparently no longer the case, according to a new report.

Latest: Mexico denied a U.S. military plane access to land Thursday, at least temporarily frustrating the Trump administration's plans to deport immigrants to the country, according to two U.S defense officials.

"Nonzero chance they did so little planning that they can't handle the scenario of 'what if Mexico won't let the planes land' and they don't have any backup plan for housing the deportees and they just wind up either in regular prison or eventually released to the street," Trease wrote.

Competency wastes time.

Wasted time is wasted money.

With Hegseth getting confirmed, wasted time is also time lost wasted given the drug mill operation run out of the WH pharmacy during the first administration.

They don't need to land to empty the plane. Whether Mexico allows the plane to land or not, deliver the illegals to Mexico and return empty.

Trumpy has his arse before the cart again.

First round up the usual suspects and send them to Mexico (New America?)

THEN while they are in the air see if it's ok with Mexico.

Like his J6pardons.

"F it release them all!"

First Release the prisoners.

THEN look into which ones are too violent to release.

So much winning.

Re 6

So you creeps are willing to commit murder to punish someone for committing a misdemeanor.

Great plan maga maroon.

Keep up the good work.

Way to bring forth your better angels.

Hmmm... article says C-130 but the picture looks like a C-17.

Let's go with a C-17. Capacity for 134 passengers. 11,000,000 immigrants, so that's 82,000 deportation flights. C-17 operating cost is $24,000/hour.

Has Senior Co-President and DOGE Lord Commander Elon approved this?

"F it! Deport them all!"

Planning? We don't need no stinkin planning!

At the rate they are going it is gonna take decades and $315 billion dollars.

A one-time operation to deport these immigrants would cost at least $315 billion, broken down as follows:
The government would have to spend $89.3 billion to conduct sufficient arrests.
The government would have to spend $167.8 billion to detain immigrants en masse.
The government would have to spend $34.1 billion on legal processing.
The government would have to spend $24.1 billion on removals.

The plan is to shift to cattle cars shortly, which Mexico will also not let pass.

Let's see how long it takes for MAGA to say simply kill them all.

I think VISITOR may have been the first one.

"They don't need to land to empty the plane."

"They" don't even need planes.

Why don't "they" just give a big hail Trumpy salute and fire up the gas chambers?

Much cheaper and more efficient.

It'll take a couple of months to get the old gas-fired power plants converted.

No one was suggesting dropping illegals out of a plane without a parachute.

#14 | Posted by visitor_ at 2025-01-25 01:32 PM

So, add $50,000,000,000 for parachutes.

#15 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-01-25 01:37 PM

You must be buying your parachutes from a Democrat crony capitalist.

We only need one parachute per flight. They can fight over it on the way down. ;)

#16 | Posted by visitor_ at 2025-01-25 01:43 PM

"No one was suggesting dropping illegals out of a plane without a parachute."

I bet it was discussed. Especially if Stephen Miller was in the room.

But like a good maga maroon plausible deniability is important to maintain as long as possible.

Like Trumpy never suggested that insurrectionists violently attack the Capitol either. But the maga mob clearly got the message.

This will happen no matter what. Mexico will end up complying. Yes, this costs money, but so does free housing and free debit cards.

LINCOLN, Neb. " Every so often, Al Juhnke, executive director of the Nebraska Pork Producers Association, says he'll get a phone call from one of his farmers about how to solve Nebraska's severe labor shortage..

It goes something like this: "Al, I got a great idea. Why don't we invite any immigrants? Legal, illegal ... I don't care. Invite them to Nebraska because we have lots of openings out on our farm and we need help."

Juhnke says attracting workers to Nebraska is not about wages. The average pay for a meat trimmer is close to $18 an hour " well above the state minimum of $13.50. "These are good paying jobs in the plants," he says. "People say, 'Well, just double or triple the pay [and] you'll get United States citizens to work.' No, you won't."

Depends on what they raise and how much of it, doesn't it?

Depends if they actually farm something on that farm.

Life will tell us exactly how important migrant labor is to food production and prices soon enough.

Not surprising that you're attempting to wash away this reality.

I guess it's possible, since Donald's first deportations have been so badly handled, that some migrants will brave it and stay on the job.

Life will tell us. Start paying attention to it rather than those peculiar fantasies you and MAGA attempt to live by.

A fact

In 2023, remittances from Salvadorans working in the United States made up 24.1% of El Salvador's GDP. This was about $8.2 billion in total.

What do you think will be the impact if a substantial portion of this income is cut off?

Be honest, now.

Do you think that will help or hurt immigration long term?

#33 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-01-25 06:34 PM

@#30 ... Life will tell us exactly how important migrant labor is to food production and prices soon enough. ...

Yup.

Even the DHS has stated a concern about the hiring of undocumented immigrants by companies ...

But Pres trump needs an enemy to go after in order to keep his base engaged, and it is easier to place the target on undocumented immigrants instead of the companies (corporations) that hire them.

Next time use a drone plane to fly them back and just crash it wherever if they want to play games. They'll start letting the planes land real quick.

This is the sort of BS I've known all my life. It's what people like BULL call "common sense". WHATEVER the topic, it ends in something being wrecked and someone hurt or dying.

MAGA isn't much more than this.

I'll note that Donald's first week wasn't just a failure, it made him look like a real clown.
