The former president reportedly plans on utilizing the military to enforce immigration policies and erecting deportation camps along the border.

Donald Trump isn’t only looking to reinstate the extreme, anti-immigration policies of his first term if he wins in November; he is seeking to take things a step further. “We have to do something about it,” Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in a town hall Tuesday, repeating his ugly 2015 claim that other countries are “not sending their finest” to the United States. “We have the worst border in the history of the world.”

Claiming that countries are “emptying out their prisons” into the U.S., Trump reiterated his plans to carry out mass deportations, which he has promised on the campaign trail would be the “largest” in American history. Of course, he was vague on the details, telling Ingraham that he would “get the bad ones out first,” which he’d find using “local police.”

Nevertheless, the remarks provided yet another glimpse into the radical border policies he’d pursue in a second term—which, as the Washington Post reported Wednesday, could include mobilizing the military for immigration enforcement and the establishment of deportation camps along the border. “Americans can expect that immediately upon President Trump’s return to the Oval Office, he will restore all of his prior policies, implement brand new crackdowns that will send shock waves to all the world’s criminal smugglers, and marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation in American history,” campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the outlet. Undocumented immigrants “should not get comfortable,” she added, “because very soon they will be going home.”

        You appear to have not read my post and just posted something unrelated.

        I will ask you again:

        Who should I vote for to stop Trump from implementing those genocides? Give me a name please. Show me the likelihood of them winning.

          I do apologize, I probably should have added more context between my posts.

          A candidate like Cenk Uygur. 0.000000000000000000000000000000001% of preventing a genocide

          Letting genocides slide with no repercussions: 0% of preventing another genocide.

            Ah, I see, you either don’t understand math or don’t understand the constitution.

            Cenk cannot be president. He was not born in the United States. His parents weren’t even citizens. He has a 0% chance of being able to stop a genocide. Not a 0 with a decimal point, a bunch of other zeroes and then a 1. 0. Zero. Goose egg. Nothing. Nada.

            You might as well vote for Prince Harry.

              He’s not going to win, but a shocking concept of where a political rival aligns with your ideals and you “Want” to vote for him.

              Versus a candidate that abandons those ideals and blames/gaslights you for not supporting their off moral behavior.

                Your words:

                A candidate like Cenk Uygur. 0.000000000000000000000000000000001% of preventing a genocide

                Also, my words:

                Who should I vote for to stop Trump from implementing those genocides? Give me a name please. Show me the likelihood of them winning.

                So you neither did that nor were accurate about his ability to be elected and prevent genocide because, again, he can’t be elected.

                So unless you’re trying to claim that voting for someone who can’t get elected will somehow stop Trump… otherwise, again, tell me who to vote for who will stop Trump from implementing the genocides he and his people have already announced their intentions to implement.

                  I feel like we are arguing semantics when we say stuff like Republican genocide vs Democrat genocide and asking which one is worse. When obviously the answer is both are wrong and counter productive to a growing society.

                  So… what are democrats going to do about it?

                  Because it seems republicans have made their minds up.

                    This is what I said:

                    Trump wants to commit genocide against brown people.

                    Trump wants to commit genocide against queer people.

                    Trump would be happy to let Israel continue their genocide against Palestinians.

                    I’m not asking which one is worse, I’m saying there will be three under Trump.

                    Do you really think Biden plans to cleanse the U.S. of brown people and queer people? Or is it not genocide when it’s queer people and the wrong kind of brown people?
