Trump won't rule out family separations during his promised mass deportation of migrants
Trump says he will make 'provisions' for mixed-status families but doesn't rule out separations with mass deportations
The former president also told NBC News that spending billions to execute mass deportations of undocumented immigrants is justified because allowing them to remain would cost more.
I won’t rule out calling Trump a heartless piece of shit.
He is indeed a stupid, heartless, selfish piece of shit.
How is the Republican party still able to get votes?
Seriously how is our country fucked up enough that we only have death to all non whites and we can compromise with them parties
Their are a loooot of poor white people who are too indoctrinated to realize who is stealing the profits of their labor and have been successfully redirected to blaming other powerless poor people.
You have to hand it to the superrich. They did an excellent job cutting funding for education around the world for the past decades. And now they can reap the benefit.
Because Fox News broke their brains. I'm not even kidding.
That and the lead. So much lead
I feel like a 'Trump won't rule out 'x'' headline is kinda moot as he doesn't do policy ideas in the first place, so he doesn't rule, and consequently doesn't rule out either.
Besides he has shown not to have any moral framework, so he'll do anything his current in crowd may infect his short term memory with.
Yeah, it doesn't matter what he says. He'll decide later based on the direction the wind is blowing.
He put almost half a million children in cages last time, family seperations are tame compared to that.
The cages are still on the border, being used by various state governments (Abbott's been zealous about entrapping, imprisoning, and torturing migrants until they "voluntarily" agree to federal deportation).
One of the more frustrating aspects of the Democratic immigration platform has been their blasé attitude towards state fascism and brutality. Hatred for migrants runs far too deep in the US, and liberals are terrified of running counter to it especially during an election season. So Trump can run around on the border cheering, while state troopers harass, illegally detain, and torture spouses of US citizens. ICE staff do less than nothing, often facilitating state officials in their efforts to inflict abuse and cover it up afterwards.
Meanwhile, the DNC platforms a congo line of anti-migrant Republican politicians in an effort to appease this block of single-issue voters.
the cruelty is the point.
Yeah, fuck em right? Citizen children don't need parents. Just put em to work in the mines. Precious if they're unborn, though.
I guess this is why we didn’t ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child…
Why would he, they love that shit.
Nobody gives a shit what this goon felon is lying about today, NBC?
Just publish this each time, "trump lied again today in public, more on the actual plan from the actual adults making the decisions (or closest equivalent) [link to project 2025]"
Lol how did removing people who are in the country illegally an even remotely controversial view.
No wonder the right are gaining votes all over the world. The left are their own worse enemy.
Because arbitrary lines in a desert ought not invalidate peoples freedom?
Because there is no valid metric other than skin color to initially round all these people up and put them in camps where we can concentrate on if they are actually supposed to be here or not?
Because some of those people put in camps where we can concentrate on whether they are supposed to be here or not will be American citizens deprived of their rights based on their skin color?
Because trains will run 24-7 for 5+ years to deport 15+ million people?
Because a subset of the population is convinced central America = Mexico and we can just dump them in Mexico?
Because just that transportation alone will cost over half our GDP even before we get in to detention and feeding, investigation and appeals processes?
Because if we don't do the above then we are denying people the right of due process, and what does that say about us as a society?
Because most people are here illegally because of expired visas, so they can just reapply anyway?
Because in 2022 undocumented immigrants paid 96.7 billion dollars in taxes, and the right wants to just do away with that and God forbid someone making millions has to pay a little extra?
Because it's a buzz word used by the right so people can be openly racist when there is zero plan in place because then they lose their wedge issue?
Because this zero-plan maneuver will decimate our economy, just so a certain subset of the population can feel that their skin color wins because Jesus said so or something?
Excellent answers. I’d also take “empathy and human decency.”
What a load of horseshit.
I pretty sure the people that fought and died for those lines, the people that spent a lifetime building up something they love on one side of that line wouldn't call them arbitrary. In fantasy land they might be arbitrary but in the real world they mean a lot. People who break the law shouldn't be rewarded.
People aren't suppose to be there. They should go somehow. If there are 15 million people and they largely seem to be one skin colour as you make out. That's seems like a good starting point to me. How else would you do it?
Because trains will run 24-7 for 5+ years to deport 15+ million people?
That's genuinely mindblowing. 1 that the trains are that bad. (Some lines hit 1.5 million per day). 2 That the situation is that dire it will take so long to fix it under ideal situations.
You don't seem to be making any point but rambling from then on. Paying taxes says nothing without taking everything else into account. It's literally meaningless. If they just need to reapply then it seems like they need some convincing. 15 million! Of course something needs to be done to convince them to stop breaking the law either ship them out if they aren't meant to be there or convince them to do their civic duty
So its gonna cost a fuckton and damage our nation irreparably in the process? Hate is a hell of a drug.
Don't forget the billions of dollars they pay in taxes. Something the billionaires don't even do.
How so? There'll be no shortage of new people who want to come to the USA if the government eventually decides deporting the current illegal immigrants was a mistake.
How much do you know about the legal immigration process? Because it is barely functional and hanging on by a thread right now.
It's about children! Hello.
