What It Would Take to Deport Millions of Immigrants

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, he vowed to build a wall to seal the border and keep criminals from entering the country. This campaign season, his immigration agenda has a new focus: a mass deportation program unlike anything the country has seen.

His party’s platform, ratified at the Republican convention in Milwaukee, promises the “largest deportation effort in American history,” and immigration was the theme of Tuesday’s gathering.

What would it take to deport millions of people? Is it even possible?

How many immigrants are in the country illegally?

There were 11 million immigrants living in the United States without legal permission in 2022, according to the latest government estimates, and more than 8 of 10 have been in the country for more than a decade. Trump said during the debate last month that there were 18 million, which is unsubstantiated.

1. Donald, why did you not do it in your previous four years?

2. Boxcars. Lots Of Boxcars.

And I really think we need to hammer on this imagery. Because the "we need to get rid of all the fur'ners stealin' our jobs!" people don't think of it that way. We need to take every opportunity to talk about efforts to round up undocumented immigrants in terms of loading them into boxcars and sending them off to camps.

3. His wall must have been a "hoax" otherwise

Why would this still be a problem?

4. Call me crazy but could they force immigrants to colonize Mars?
