Of course they would be, which is why they’re not going to happen.
The deportations serve three main purposes:
They appeal to Trump’s racist base and further divisions between the people broadly.
They establish precedents for the detention of whoever the Trump administration declares to be rightfully detained (which will certainly not be limited to, or even primarily, undocumented immigrants).
They make the remaining undocumented immigrants just that much more desperate and willing to endure oppression.
To fulfill those purposes, there’s no need to deport all undocumented immigrants or even any really significant percentage of them. All that’s necessary is to make the deportations that will happen as merciless and vivid and well publicized as possible.
And once those purposes have been served, the program can be quietly moved out of the spotlight and American businesses can take advantage of the cheap labor provided by undocumented immigrants who are even more desperate than they were before Trump took office.
I don’t appreciate that people are still under the assumption that Trump cares about the success of America or is trying to preserve it.
The tariffs contradict all of the conclusions you just drew and so does the psychopaths he put in charge of the deportations and handed a blank check too.
he’d do it live on national TV, signing his name on the document, shaking hands with putin, then turn to the camera and outright say Sleepy Joe sold out America and his base would still rally around him

Trump could hand over the US nuclear codes to Putin on live TV and people would still be making excuses.

Hell, elon musk could take over the Treasury of the United States and no one in power would do anything about it…
