This was his cornerstone campaign promise. And y’all voted for it either directly by voting for him or indirectly by not voting at all.
Don’t act surprised.

Look at the numbers. Trump is a dumb turd, but surely some saavy Republicans pulling strings must realize if you just grant these people citizenship they end up voting Republican.
That would only be advantageous if you valued democracy. The only reason the GOP cares about elections is because they need to win them to install an authoritarian. A group of minorities to scapegoat is much more valuable to the GOP project.
Scapegoating them is one thing. Actually deporting them is another. The people who employ illegal immigrants are doing it so they can pay them a pittance and have leverage over them. They're not going go want their cheap workforce deported simply because it'll increase costs.
Latinos down in the Texas valley (you know, right next to Mexico) swung hard for Trump. This will be interesting to see how it comes back to bite them.
Operation Wetback in the 50s deported a shit load of American citizens. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens again in large numbers.
My friends uncle got deported as an American citizen a long time ago in San Diego. They arrested him after he realized he had forgotten his wallet and was running home to get it before the next bus came. Obviously, any brown guy running down the street must be an illegal immigrant to these people.
They surely won't have to endure the increased harassment from cops and border patrol agents, right? Once Trump green-lights vigorous racial profiling, that'll only affect other people...
Something tells me this will go about as well as that ridiculous wall idea
Wait till they start asking you for money to fund the project.
So the media is now shocked at his released plan? What are we supposed to do? Vote? Have an armed uprising?
Yeah, like no shit he is. Is this really the "he's going to do what he said he would? I thought he wouldn't!" phase of people figuring out they're living in a fascist dictatorship?
I don't understand how people can say he's not actually going to do the things he says he's going to do... When he was already president and did the things he said he was going to do.... Like how can you sit there and be like no he doesn't mean it... The sexual assaulting orange asshole says everything he's going to do... Or blames others for doing it but is the one actually doing it.
I'm 50% convinced they somehow figured out how to actually rig this election... Between him saying that he already had the votes and muskrat doing all the illegal shit he did to help him win because he was going to go to jail otherwise... And how fast all these votes came in the election was over by the end of the night... Even though States had to hand count and had passed weird laws...
While horrendous, a great many of them (or their families) are completely complicit, so my empathy for them is a lot lower than it probably should be.
Of course, my heart does go out to those who had no hand in this monstrosity, although they will still equally be affected by it.
Paywall or something weird like that.
