Tom Homan, the architect of the Trump era family separation policy, also threatened to jail Denver Mayor Mike Johnston if he resists deportations in his city.

      What about their son? Also the two failsons, Eric and Junior. Don’t they want to get rid of birthright citizenship, too? Their mom was not American.

      And does seem to be a prime candidate for denaturalization since she became a citizen on a EB-1 visa, the “Einstein visa”.

      Probably cheaper than a divorce for the orange fascist.

      Considering he’s Catholic and the name Homan has roots in Ireland, he’s probably one of those dirty Irishman that need not apply.

        OK but I mean, I grew up in a Reaganite republican household. I’ve heard lots of crazy stuff for decades. Widespread deportation is a pretty new policy goal and a few people in the party seem obsessed with it. It’s like the wall, insofar as it’s a big dramatic thing that’s largely unworkable. However, it’s pretty fucking cruel.

        So like where did this come from? Because I think if you talked to a Republican in 2012 and asked about mass-deporting people, it’d seem like a very fringe idea. 2004? They’d say “maybe people from terrorist countries”, which is at least based on some real stuff going on.

        2000? They’d think you were making fun of them

      Did you miss the part where Trump’s administration are pushing to denaturalize citizens? Yeah, these Nazis are going to be deporting citizens too.

        And I highly doubt they’ll be doing anything more than

        A) shoving people over the southern border to Mexico (regardless of ancestry/origin) and shooting at you if you try to return

        Or

        B) Concentration camps.

        Of course, deportation requires cooperation of the other country. Until your new home is willing to accept you, you will of course have to remain in custody…

          Might just need to build some additional concentration camps prisons to hold them all.

      Last time we had mass deportations, half the people who got kicked out weren’t illegal.

      So, I’ll take that bet.

      Then you re-define “citizenship”.

      https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-vows-end-birthright-citizenship-children-immigrants-us-illegally-2023-05-30/

      They want to revoke citizenship from naturalized citizens, like my daughter in law, and block citizenship from my (currently hypothetical) grandchildren.

      Well, white people will most likely be exempt.

      We didn’t see people from England or the Netherlands who overstayed thier visas get thrown in a camp and have thier children taken away last time.
