  2. There are going to be dead Americans in this for sure.

  3. Is this guy even American? He sounds like an ogre.

  4. I 100% believe that brown Americans are going to get wrapped up in this and deported. I strongly recommend they get a passport and carry it with them.

  6. >Trump will prioritize deportations for people who may have criminal associations, who have been denied asylum, or who come from “countries of foreign concern,” such as China and Nicaragua, Homan said, adding that America’s intelligence agencies will help identify and locate those targets and immigration agents will arrest them. But “no one’s off the table,” Homan told The Center Square, raising the possibility that Trump will target families or other undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked for many years in the US.

    This is an important quote. Trump has repeatedly told stories of immigrants who murdered women, and he talked about drug dealers and human traffickers, and he said “migrants will come into your kitchen and slit your throat.” (?!) He has repeatedly talked about deportations as if they are focused only on violent people like this. So maybe a lot of Americans believed he was specifically talking about deporting violent people.

    But as the quote shows, these mass deportations are not just about violent people. If you’re not violent or causing any other kind of trouble, you can still be deported. And remember, Trump wants to deport the Haitians in Springfield, even though they came here legally. I think a lot of people are unaware of how bad the mass deportations are going to get. They voted for it though.

    Also, the use of the military in these mass deportations is supposedly only for harmless “support tasks”:

    >[Trump confirmed](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/trump-military-mass-deportation.html) on Truth Social last week that he plans to declare a national emergency and involve the US military in his deportation campaign, who, Homan clarified, would primarily carry out support tasks, such as building new holding centers or transporting immigration detainees.

    But why would the military be necessary to do these things? I don’t buy it. I believe the military will be used for violent and forceful purposes. I would like to be wrong though.

  9. I wanna see them try to deport all the Cubans in Florida. It won’t happen, but it would be fun to watch Florida explode.

  10. I have a good point to make but I think I would be banned from the sub if I write it out in the language that I would want to use. It revolves around a comparison of personality types, physical and mental traits vs expectations, and insecurities that lead men, specifically, to end up in places where they lash out. Violently or otherwise.

    Long story short, I don’t think there is much of a difference between Elon Musk, Trump, Steven Miller.. and people like Elliot Roger.

    The only difference is Musk and Trump have money to “fight back” against their perceived enemies instead of the way Elliot went about it.

    Long story short, more people suffer because of the gross insecurities of one (or a few).

  14. It’s probably not widely known, but legal immigrants who get deported lose any social security benefits that they are receiving, or may one day receive, based on their federal deductions.

  15. Everyone, please watch (or re-watch) “The Great Dictator” by Charlie Chaplin.

  16. un-American ass attitude.

    Send this dude to Russia where he belongs.

  17. No one? Like, Native Americans? I know how the US is with their treaties.

  18. But we kept getting gaslit from maga saying they would only go after undocumented criminals…..  

  19. Cause it wont just be illegals. Do people really think they’re gonna take the time to check if every person they grab is legal or not?

  20. Trump said he was going to do exactly this. Why are people still acting surprised?

  21. This presidency will test the true power of state vs federal power in a bad way. Trump is going to ask the federal government to do unthinkable things and it will be up to individual states to either appease him or fight back.

  23. The next “American Revolution” isn’t going to be bloodless. They’re going to get people killed for simply defending themselves

  25. Why does America in 2024 act like this? Hating other cultures and peoples was supposed to be going away with each generation…not getting worse

  26. What’s to keep them from going after anyone, including Americans whose families have been in the country for centuries? Something like this could happen…. An authority stops a car and says…. Prove that you are an American right now or we are going to arrest you. Your birth certificate is at home? Too bad.

  27. “involve the US military in his deportation campaign, who, Homan clarified, would primarily carry out support tasks, such as building new holding centers or transporting immigration detainees.”

    So “holding centers” are what they’re going to call the camps. What happens when they figure out they can’t deport 13 million people? The Nazi’s came to a conclusion as Wannsee, I wonder where Trump will hold his meeting? Bedminster?

  28. Deport everyone whose ancestry is not 100% Native American. A lot of riff-raff came to this country in the last 12,000 years!

  29. I need people to understand that the world has a refugee problem right now, This is in part why we have such issues with our borders and people wanting to come to America. A lot of these people have no where else to go and that’s why they’re coming here.

    Now that you understand that, I need you to realize there’s no where to ‘mass deport’ anyone too. These people can’t just simply ‘go back’ from whence they came, they usually left for really good reasons. Imagine what it would take for you to leave your home, your family, every thing you know, including your language and customs. It would have to be a Significant motivator to get you to do that.

    So when this guy stands up and says he’s going ‘Mass Deport’ people, and when Texas is gifting him lots of land to accomplish this, What they’re really saying, but not wanting you to figure out, is that they are going to setup Camps to house people here in America.

    Historically setting up camps for people you don’t like and don’t want in your country, has -Never- Gone well, For -anyone- involved, Regardless of if they end up in the camp or if they’re the ones running it.

    When He says ‘Anyone is on the table’ What he means is anyone who gets in his way is going to become a victim of one of these camps. You are being Threatened right now.

  30. Please send me back to Scotland. My family was from there in the 1700s.

  31. Everyone needs to start realizing that “deportation” means being sent to a detention camp and forced to labor legally paid cents per hour by for-profit prisons.

    It’s a euphemism.

  32. They will start with shock and awe of mass deportations. They will move far beyond that amidst the chaos. They will use taxpayer money to fund private security forces to implement the change they want.

  33. Does anyone realize how fucking expensive it will be to move so many people?????

  34. This is going to devolve into violence. Trump gives a false sense of justice. It’s false because it exists outside of our justice system and empowers his followers to do his bidding. Starting on Inauguration Day, we’re going to be paranoid about our neighbors. People will be reporting families based on the color of their skin or language they speak with little or no knowledge about their immigration status. Thousands of LEGAL CITIZENS will be deported in a system without due process and it will be downplayed as collateral damage or a necessary evil in an otherwise crucial deportation program. But the president and law enforcement is supposed to be protecting the rights of citizens. This deportation program will infringe on the Constitutional rights of tens of thousands and negatively impact the lives of MILLIONS of US citizens. When you voted for Trump and your child’s best school friend disappears without warning, you’ll have yourselves to blame for the heartbreak of millions of people. Fucking bastards.

  35. When do they start talking about reporting US born citizens that disagree with them? What step of fascism is that again

  36. And we all understand that “deportation” is euphemism right?

    When they say things like “they’re going to ‘deport’ 7th generation American citizens of mixed heritage’ who protest Trump” we all understand there’s no place to deport us “to”, right?

    It just means camps. Labor camps first. Then death camps later.

  37. A old man from Iran grew up in America.
    His parents passed and he knew no one in Iran.
    Trumps policy sent this man back, he died within a week.
    All this is the system pushing Trump out to make AmeriKKKa monstrosity great again. Right arm media made sure we read what was happening without rebuttal.

    Americas Revolutionary War was a mix of European running from elite oligarchs and kings Queens, Native Tribes and Slaves, as well as foreign missionaries. America fought for religious freedoms and equality as far as we’ve fought for.

    Let it rain red. It’s the only way we the masses who care will see first hand. No book needed to live what is the most hatful people to align with a rapist pedophile.

    Stop with the paralysis’s of analysis and call this Trump shit show what it is.

  38. We’re entering a chapter of American history where every single one of us will have a real answer to one question: What would you have done if you lived in Nazi Germany?
