The analysis doesn't take into account the fact that Trump has decided that they're all criminals.
Or that they consider anyone who they don't want here to be an illegal immigrant. Doesn't matter if there is a federal law that grants legal status to the people in question, or that the constitution grants citizenship to those who are born here, Trump and pals don't like those rules so they should be able to ignore them.
My brother has stated the act of illegally crossing the border makes you a criminal, therefore youre a felon. While in essence true, that line of thinking brings out the worst of what "conservatism" has, lack of empathy for others
Not in essence true though. It's not a felony, it is a civil infraction, which is why it doesn't go through the regular criminal justice system.
Wrote it before, and I'm not the author, but: conservatives stop thinking if they like the current result.
Also they are all stark raving mad like the "late, great" Hannibal Lecter because he confuses asylum with insane asylum.
He's trying to employ one of them: Musk is an illegal immigrant accused of sexually assaulting women.
Surprised Pikachu face
Something Trump and co say is a huge problem actually isn't... I'm honestly shocked, shocked I tell you.
If you are the ones that make up the rules, then anyone can be a criminal.
We already jail or deport criminals.
Trump is just blowing his blow-horn with empty talk, and MAGA Americans think "He must really mean it, since he is shouting so loudly".
But he is insincere in everything, because he doesn't really give a shit about anything but himself.
HEY I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING TWICE AS GOOD! I HAVE A PLAN, BUT IT IS SECRET!!
And the voters bought it?!?!?
Trump did a lot of things in his first term that he said he was going go do. We should be extremely concerned, and taking steps to fight this, not acting like his administration is going to be full of incompetence, and its no big deal.
Oh I have no doubt he will deport as many as he can, and not give a shit if they were born or grew up in USA, or if they've been there and worked hard and paid taxes for decades.
But in the end, his policies will do more harm than good, and he won't give a shit. He will still claim he is getting rid of criminals and is making things better.
He is a narcissist, and people who listen to him are idiots.
