  1. Good luck building or harvesting anything afterward.

  2. National emergency forever like dictatorships do to oppress protests and hunt down political opponets.

  3. They never go after the people that employ them, better known as “the reason they come”.

  4. This is literally one of his campaign promises. Don’t say you didn’t see this coming or you thought he was joking. This is what we as a country voted for. He didn’t hide his true intentions and we said sign me up.

  5. we are in a housing shortage and trump wants to deport honest and hard working people that could help with that

  6. Food is about to get very expensive. We import nearly $200 billion in food each year. (Did you really think the fresh produce you buy in the dead of winter is grown here?) when we tariff other countries they will respond with their own tariffs.

    And the majority of what is grown here from corn to cattle involves migrant labor.

  8. Well, happy Monday. Thanks again for making us look weak again Republicans. I hope you get what you’re looking for. Again, please explain to me how this is going to make things cheaper and how this will lower my tax burden? Oh and if I hear one more thing about small government.

  9. Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.[1] Martial law can continue for a specified amount of time, or indefinitely, and standard civil liberties may be suspended for as long as martial law continues.[2][1] Most often, martial law is declared in times of war and/or emergencies such as civil unrest and natural disasters.[3] Alternatively, martial law may be declared in instances of military coup d’états.[4]

  10. He’s gonna need to declare war if he seriously wants to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

  11. Well, to be fair it’s likely than in 2025 the USA will become a third world country people try to get out from.

  12. I always get a chuckle when the very people who screamed “Jade Helm” are silent with Trump.

  13. This is gonna kill a lot of businesses and make a lot of things very expensive.

  14. Fuck it. The voters gotta learn what they voted for.

    Down in the deep south Texas they voted republican… lots of those people have illegal family members and probably think “it won’t happen to me!”.

  15. He is gonna be a 4 year national emergency. Thank you idiots, for voting him in.

  16. Speaking of national emergency, I’m old enough to remember a time when it would’ve been beyond unthinkable for the US to have a president or an attorney general with mugshots.

  17. Wait until this dumbass sees what his ridiculous racist stunt will do to his inherited economy and the stock market. He will fast track the quickest recession in US history. He’s a fucking idiot.

  19. Also to use the military to attack and kill Americans inside our own borders

  20. Declaring national emergency + Supreme Court granting immunity = Big Trouble

  21. Does Orange Rape Jesus remind you of anybody in history and yet here we go again?

  22. This is how a dictatorship starts. You declare a state of emergency, granting the president all kinds of powers, then it never goes away.

  26. They will abuse this “national emergency” for other things too, not just for deportations. They will use it as an excuse to break the law and violate our rights.

  27. It’s finally clear what they’ve been up to with this Deportation bullshit plan. They’re gonna use it to do everything else they’ve been wanting to pull off. The deportation part is just an excuse , wow ! These fuckers are truly diabolical . Buyers remorse will be big for all the dumb idiot American suckers that actually think Trump cares about Americans, buckle up people .

  28. “I’m going to be a dictator on day one”. He told you what he was going to do.

  29. Get ready for, “What kind of American are you?”

    Don’t think for a second this ends with illegal immigrants.

  30. If you’re worried about largely uneducated people who don’t speak English taking your job, maybe you are the one with a shitty skillset.

  31. It doesn’t feel like that long ago when “small government conservatives” would have taken issue with using the military domestically.

  32. This is not about responsible, coherent immigration policy. This is about cruel and unusual punishment being used against women, children, families.

    Just a few examples of Project 2025 plans to punish immigrants and violate human rights:

    Remove protections for DACA Dreamers and refugees;

    Mandate ICE to use all available detention, including temporary capacity (tents), for immigrants. They might as well say Japanese Internment Camps from the 1940’s.

    Fund significant increase in detention space. During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps. Again, these assholes want to bring back camps like it’s 1942, a shameful part of American history. Take them seriously.

    Repeal Temporary Protected Status (TPS), p. 145

    Despite Trump’s best efforts to distance himself, and say he has nothing to do with Project 2025, the guy who was in charge of Trump’s draconian immigration policy during his administration wrote the immigration section in Project 2025.

    There is no way to fathom the scale of Trump’s plans to deport an estimated 11 million immigrants that would cost $Billions and would be divisive and inhumane, leading to more family separations while devastating communities.

  33. First they came for the Mexicans, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Mexican.

  34. And declare martial law. And shoot protesters. And arrest “enemies of the state” who protest or otherwise oppose his executive orders.

    They’ve been preparing for a civil war. They’ve said we’re the enemy within. They have been praying “thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”. They will end democracy.

  35. This is how you first get American troops into American streets: A faux National Emergency. The next time it will be easier and they will be used against citizens. Inflation is just the byproduct. This is Fascism for real. We are there. Forget Posse Comitatus. The Constitution has been trashed. He will stay in power until he dies. And then he may have an appointed successor.

  36. Republican billionaires who own food processing businesses: “The f*ck you are!”

  37. The problem isn’t immigrants. The problem is rich grifters sucking money out of the pockets of poor people to make themselves ever wealthier and not paying their fair share. Like Elon. Make billionaires pay!

  38. First step of a new dictator is to declare some sort of emergency that will give him extraordinary powers that will suspend constitutional protections. Welcome to your new America.

  39. This will be a test of our military. Will they blindly follow orders or stand up to the fascist?

    My money is them blindly following orders.
