Mass Deportations
 

I do think illegal border crossings need to be addressed, but, my gut tells me that mass deportation is not the best way to deal with the issue.
So, I looked back at history when Eisenhower tried mass deportation to get some insight into how things worked back then.

Here is some information:

If there were to be a penalty imposed onto the owners of businesses that employed and housed illegal immigrants. One with serious fines up to and including seizure of businesses and property. Imprisonment for repeat offenders also a option.

With no jobs no roof they might self deport. Or stop coming all together.

Good topic for a thread. My own view is deport those who run afoul of the law ASAP and a path to citizenship for the others.

The same bipartisan border plan Trump quashed in order to campaign on the issue should be adequate to slow further influx to a trickle. Of course, Trump being Trump, he'll have to call it something else, like "The Great American Purity Plan".

Not gonna happen.

My guess is very few will actually be deported due to the cost involved and the fact that businesses depend on this quasi-slave labor force.

Gotta have somewhere that is willing to take them back also.........

Not really. Just parachute them into their country of origin. :D

If Trump's track record on the border wall is any clue (~50 miles of new wall), he may succeed in deporting a couple percent of the ~12 million of illegal aliens and claim success. He probably won't deport significantly more than Obama did (upwards of 500k per year). Unlike Obama, however, Trump will be as loud and cruel as possible. His base demands no less.

Millions of Americans of working age have voluntarily withdrawn from the work force. Additionally those who want to work are not drawn to the typical work of the undocumented. There are tremendous forces in the economy acting against mass deportation.
I believe Trump will just make some noise, take some photo ops and move on. Yet he seems to have a special thing against Haitians.

The irony is the president who did not make much noise deported a record number of people.

Pro tip: It ain't just Haitians. It's Latinos, Muslims and Caribbean or African Blacks. He's an equal opportunity racist.

From that old commie organization, the US Chamber of Commerce:

Basically there is a labor shortage. From the Chicks' linked article - post 10 - the labor force participation rate has dropped since prepandemic level and it further states that had the rate remained the same there would have been 2 million more people in the workforce.

This reasonable suggestion has been floated around for years. I don't know for sure, but, suspect that these businesses donate generously to the re election campaigns of congressmen who have not acted on implementing penalties for hiring and housing illegals.

When it doesn't work out like he promised in his campaign he'll just blame Biden/Harris and Democrats in general. He knows his worshippers will believe it.

Of course. Trump will blame anyone he can when or if it does not work out as planned.

More then likely in all accounting he will claim victory. Stating low number at the border, doctoring the information and statics reported.

A few show trials and news reports will be all it takes to convince his cult of his claims. We will still have them here and entering just no one will care as much now.

A setup for deportation is already in the works.

Texas offers 1,400-acre ranch to Trump to use as part of mass deportation plan

Of course, a 1.5 mile wall will be built.

Call me when you see white people picking strawberries and lettuce in 14 dollars a head.

Arkansas has dipped into offering this sort of "career opportunity" to 14 year olds working in chicken plants to enrich Tyson. Mass deportation might make these incredible "opportunities" available to more future MAGA kids.

Keep 'em stupid and aggrieved seems to work.

It's beginning to make sense.

I have questions. Where did the funds for this acquisition come from? Where are the funds for this "let's kick out the migrants" operation to come from?
