It's disappointing that otherwise intelligent conservatives can't seem to see the consequences implicit in choosing a short term course of action.
Expel all the illegal immigrants? And where would you find them? Boxed up for easy shipping in the illegal immigrant discount store?
No, if you are promising to find and expel them all, you'll have raid the homes and businesses employing them. Which means you're also barging into all the OTHER homes and businesses to check for them, too. #politics
@AlphaCentauri I don't think that's what "otherwise intelligent" Republicans are suggesting. I think that's what the stupid, mean, whackadoo ones, which currently run the party, are suggsting.
@AskTheDevil
They're supporting mass deportation as the solution to the immigration problem when they support Trump for president. That's his main issue.
@AlphaCentauri If the guys with guns do what Trump says, presumably they assume they'll make it happen. And that lawsuits won't happen when martial law is declared.
@AlphaCentauri @AskTheDevil mass deportation is about as likely as building his wall...
it's like adding 10,000 new Border Agents with $10,000. signing bonuses. where is that money coming from? where is the deportation money (never mind the lawsuit money) coming from?
@redenigma @AlphaCentauri When autocrats seize power, they don't worry about paying bills, because they'll just use whoever and whatever they want.
@AskTheDevil @AlphaCentauri Trump took FEMA money to build part of his wall
@AskTheDevil
My point is they can't think past "mass deportation" to "how the hell do they plan to actually carry out that plan?"
