The former president also told NBC News that spending billions to execute mass deportations of undocumented immigrants is justified because allowing them to remain would cost more.
So its gonna cost a fuckton and damage our nation irreparably in the process? Hate is a hell of a drug.
damage our nation irreparably
How so? There’ll be no shortage of new people who want to come to the USA if the government eventually decides deporting the current illegal immigrants was a mistake.
How much do you know about the legal immigration process? Because it is barely functional and hanging on by a thread right now.
I know plenty about it and it would be very different if I were in charge, but that’s beside the point. What I’m saying is that the damage to the USA from an overly restrictive immigration policy is not “irreparable” because any immigrants denied or deported now can easily be replaced by other immigrants later. I don’t anticipate a scenario where the USA wants to allow in more immigrants but no one wants to come. (Even if that did happen, I’m not sure accepting immigrants in advance would help because they can just leave if it gets so bad here.)
I won’t rule out calling Trump a heartless piece of shit.
How is the Republican party still able to get votes?
Seriously how is our country fucked up enough that we only have death to all non whites and we can compromise with them parties
Their are a loooot of poor white people who are too indoctrinated to realize who is stealing the profits of their labor and have been successfully redirected to blaming other powerless poor people.
I feel like a ‘Trump won’t rule out ‘x’’ headline is kinda moot as he doesn’t do policy ideas in the first place, so he doesn’t rule, and consequently doesn’t rule out either.
Besides he has shown not to have any moral framework, so he’ll do anything his current in crowd may infect his short term memory with.
He put almost half a million children in cages last time, family seperations are tame compared to that.
The cages are still on the border, being used by various state governments (Abbott’s been zealous about entrapping, imprisoning, and torturing migrants until they “voluntarily” agree to federal deportation).
One of the more frustrating aspects of the Democratic immigration platform has been their blasé attitude towards state fascism and brutality. Hatred for migrants runs far too deep in the US, and liberals are terrified of running counter to it especially during an election season. So Trump can run around on the border cheering, while state troopers harass, illegally detain, and torture spouses of US citizens. ICE staff do less than nothing, often facilitating state officials in their efforts to inflict abuse and cover it up afterwards.
Meanwhile, the DNC platforms a congo line of anti-migrant Republican politicians in an effort to appease this block of single-issue voters.
the cruelty is the point.
