    Yesterday’s headline was about Latino voters choosing Trump for economic reasons.

    No price tag.

          Yes, that sounds bad. But how else should we decide who to deport? How could we decide who is a “bad immigrant”? Maybe they get citizen status and then we realized they are also a criminal? Should they then also be deported? A US citizen? Maybe yes!

          I only see two solutions:

          1. Directly deport every foreigner, no matter if anyone thinks they are good or bad
          2. Deport everyone who ever got sentenced because of anything. Independent of their citizen status. This might include a lot of people that are thought of as American, but almost nobody is originally from here. And this way we clearly get rid of all the bad people.

          (/s, just to be sure)

      The ones that can vote are all here legally. Of course some will be caught up in the dragnet anyway, but nobody told them that in so many words. They think it’ll only affect others.

        There are only like 2 million “illegal” Latino immigrants here. Trump/project 2025 wants to denaturalize 25 million Latinos. That would certainly include people who were born here and/or who can legally vote. Trump has stated he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship.

                They did. The media did. We can argue that neither said it often enough or loud enough. But ultimately people in general just didn’t care to listen either way. The information was out there. But people stuck with their propaganda.

      Haven’t been paying attention? Unless it’s the BEST, BIGGEST or FIRST, the American mind can’t comprehend its existence. They’d be literally the last to do healthcare, boring! But the FIRST to evaporate their economy with the BIGGEST mass deportation in history, now that’s something the BEST nation can get behind! /s

    • @frunch

      I’d even wager that each time he mentions the cost it will be higher than last time. I suspect it will be measured in the billions and will increase 2-4 billion each time he talks about it. By the time it finally begins to get enacted, I’m guessing the estimated total to ship them all out will likely run in the hundreds of billions.

    For anything like debt relief, or any kind of social program, the qons - and the “liberal media” - always ask, immediately, and with pikachu face: “but how are you gonna pay for it?!!!111”

    I hope you remember, people who “felt poor” because of the price of eggs or whatever…there is endless amounts of money to spend on deporting people, but if anyone were to talk about helping YOU, well, to borrow a phrase: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, there is no money for something like that, no sir!

    Also, you can BET that some of donvict’s friends will be making money from this “plan”:

      I mean, it sounds like they did ask how much it would cost, he just bulldozed through the question instead of seriously engaging with it and legacy media is too chickenshit to report it as “Trump apathetic about costs of deportation plan” or “Mass Deportation to Cost Billions Despite Trump’s Claims” because putting the things he says in context makes him sound like the madman he is and apparently truth is no longer sufficient defense from defamation.
