I think Trump will deport the criminals who are here illegally but that will be it. Our economy would suffer big time without immigrants to do the jobs Americans won’t touch.

This is what I am hoping. Go after criminals. That is good for everyone. There is plenty to address there. If they are hardworking and care about community and this country, find a path to citizenship.

I had 2 deported last year and their parents were criminals. I was told they can never come back.

There is an entire political party that just won the election that completely disagrees with this.

+1

In my school neighborhood there are lots of families in private and our school would be so different if they were there…but I get why they are avoiding. It’s tough.

None. He never gets around to actually doing anything.

They've been wrong before.

"Go after criminals" is the existing and long-standing policy, and finding a pathway to citizenship for hard-working community-oriented individuals was the foundation of the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump killed. At a certain point, we need to acknowledge that certain actors do not want a common sense solution because it takes away their rhetorical cudgel.

Yes, criminals were already being deported. The American people voted for a much larger effort to deport more illegal residents, and some support going after naturalized and birthright citizens too (if they agree with Stephen Miller). Whether or no Trump can find the billions of dollars necessary to do this and the competence (when he didn’t even build his wall last term) remains to be seen.

Lol. Do you think criminals do as they’re told? Anyone can get across the border. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. One of my student’s mother was deported in the middle of winter a few years ago. She was back by May/June. Even if Trump built the wall, there would be other ways around (in the air, tunnels, boats, etc).

If they return to the same place, doesn't it make it easier to find them and deport them again?

How do they even find them in the first place? They live under the table.

Fairfax County will remain a sanctuary county. Just like last time, they will not cooperate with ICE investigations.

Just shut up.

All those brown white supremacists down around the Rio Grande that went for Trump, am I right?

Yes, and the white supremacists in the Bronx and the south side of Chicago, too. White supremacy sure has a big tent these days.

Last time Trump was elected we saw the mid year enrollment numbers drop way below typical (we will usually get new students all through the year, right up to the last week of school even) and a fair number of kids just disappeared from our rosters. Whether that’s deportation related or was just families moving and/or “withdrawing” from school to be less accessible by ICE, I’m not sure, but we are already anticipating similar effects once Trump is inaugurated in January.

These families were not deported, they just took their kids out of school. The "benefit" of Trump's deportation attempts is just going to be more uneducated, non-English speaking young adults in this country.

Workplace raids, often. In the coming administration, Project 2025 has laid out a plan to rescind any prohibitions on raiding "sensitive areas" so we could see raids at hospitals, churches, schools, etc.

If the deportations happen, and I suspect they won't at least not in the way Trump is claiming, we'll see American citizen kids being traumatically separated from their parents, and bringing that trauma into classrooms. We'll see teenagers who aren't being parented, because their parents are gone, and thus an increase in gang activity.

Plus our economy will tank without a segment of the labor force, so there will be less money for schools and classroom ratios will go through the roof.
