Trump Allies' Deportation Plan Calls for Camps and Citizen Army

A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of "processing camps" on military bases, a private fleet of 100 planes, and a "small army" of private citizens empowered to make arrests.

Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants the Trump administration to let private military contractors take over mass deportations. None of this is about making America safe. It's about using human suffering to enrich the border-industrial complex.

So if a "private citizen" moves to arrest me, what's my response?

It's like the bombing of Black Wall St., except they're doing it to the entire country's nonwhites

Why can't Democrats ever suggest methods of fixing instead of idiotic non-productive suggestions, or keeping status quo that makes it worst? The nation recognizes this.

The most important goal is to make it easy for illegals to self deport, and difficult or non advantageous or inconvenient to stay. Tax payers should not be funding them.

Immigrants, even the undocumented immigrants, produce far more economic benefit than they take. You stick that lie up your ***.

Democrats still want our country and communities invaded by millions of unvetted foreigners. The invaders can't or wont pay their way and want your taxes and retirement savings to do it for them.

They work cheaper than citizens and they lower wages. Democrats eventually want these people to vote for them illegally (of course) and of course with no voter ID. 80% of citizens do not want illegal immigration but DEMOCRATS are in favor of it. Democrats thrive on expanding poverty and crime and turning cities into crap. This is what you always get when you vote for Dems like Biden.

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."

-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."

Al's response is off the record but it goes something like this, "we are inviting them all".

They just aren't advertising it. It's too scary for virgin ears.

It's not the truth that's scary. It's the co-conspirators who publicly decry the very system they tacitly support.

Yes. Folks like presidents and US congressmen on both sides who predictably accuse the other side of "open borders" and the whores in the media parrot it.

It's a massive "co-conspiracy" to be sure

You can't even do math Laura. Stop talking

I've got American citizen landscapers that trim and cut grass and mulch and trim and do what else is necessary as hard physical work that I personally hire and pay $50 per hour plus material. They need to pay Americans a decent wage in Nebraska.

It's not the math that you're lying about. It's the fact that you think you will find the American labor to do those jobs. You're talking out of your hiney again. Not surprisingly however.
