They do. As a party bereft of morals and ethics, what else have they got? Half the stuff in Project 2025 the GOP is already acting on. None of it is totally new and the horrible, totally anti-democratic, establish a dictatorship stuff has been broadly hinted to for years as well. The GOP has had a sick authoritarian streak for years but they tarted it up sufficiently that people could spin it other ways. Project 2025 unmasks it but most voters don’t want that. |

Deporting millions of people - that is a campaign promise - how will that work exactly?

Mass deportations is indeed one of the 20 GOP platform promises. I don’t think they’ve sketched it out yet. But it’s an appealing notion for their supporters so they probably can get away with being vague about it initially. In practice, it will be very hard since undocumented people live in local communities, not at the national level. A MAGA government will not find every local community as compliant as they may like in terms of finding and turning over undocumented people. Imagine the photos coming out of mass roundups and deportations of hundreds of thousands or millions of people. Not a good look. I highly doubt they’ll get very far with that before there’s a public outcry or before the legal system intervenes. |

Isn't the plan for Trump to declare a national emergency and use ICE/national guard/military to round people up? One morning while eating breakfast will I watch them pull up and just start throwing the neighbor's gardening crew into a truck? Or will I be sitting in my favorite Mexican restaurant when they burst in and take away the busboys and dishwashers? How will they tell who is undocumented? And I guess corruption will be rife as businesses pay people off so they can keep their workers. And who will do their jobs? Any GOPers want to tackle this one, because it is something that seems to be Trump's top priority. |

Apparently Trump addressed this in a sit-down interview with Time magazine. I think he's talking out of his a** as usual since it will be very hard to carry this out on the local level and it will be fought in state courts. But it sure does sound good to the base. Still, the rhetoric he uses is damaging and so unAmerican. The topic on which Trump had the most concrete details is his plan to deport many millions of undocumented immigrants. Trump repeated false claims that many migrants are former prisoners or have been institutionalized in their home countries. CNN has reported there is no data to support the idea that a rise in immigrants drives a rise in crime. Most measures of violent crime in the US have actually been falling. While he didn’t use the derogatory term, Trump pointed to “Operation Wetback,” the deportation initiative taken along the border with Mexico during the Eisenhower administration, as a model. In 1954, border officials worked with local law enforcement to, they claimed, round up more than 1 million Mexican nationals and move them to the Mexico side of the border. Historians, as CNN reported in 2016, have argued that far fewer people were actually deported, since many people were apprehended multiple times. They also note that many US citizens were caught up in the dragnet and mistakenly deported. Rather than work with Democrats, Trump wants to militarize the issue, but he would start by using local police forces and focusing on any migrants with a criminal record. Trump was asked if his effort would include the military “It would,” Trump said, adding, “when we talk military, generally speaking, I talk National Guard.” He added that he would “have no problem using the military, per se,” although he thinks the National Guard would suffice. He does not think that laws meant to prevent the use of the military against civilians inside the US without congressional approval would apply to his effort. “These aren’t civilians,” Trump said of migrants. “These are people that aren’t legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country.” He also repeated the conspiracy theory, for which there is no evidence, that “fighting age” males from China are somehow embedding themselves in the US. What about massive migrant camps? Trump tried to downplay the idea that there would be massive camps of detained migrants like those described to The New York Times by his immigration policy mastermind Stephen Miller, since, according to Trump, he would be deporting people so fast. “We’re not leaving them in the country. We’re bringing them out,” he said. When asked under what authority he would make all of this happen, Trump suggested he would use federal money to pressure local police. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/01/politics/trump-immigration-what-matters/index.html |

And what if other countries won't accept these people, them what? |
