This is the Department of Homeland Security, a United States federal government department, publicly advocating for deporting nearly a third of the entire population of the country. Only around 7% of the population are non-citizens. That means they would need to deport around 75 million American citizens. Let that sink in.
I think they want to remove the citizenship of anyone born outside America and anyone born to parents that aren’t citizens, based on some posts I saw earlier on Twitter that were supporting this DHS message.
I never thought I'd say this - younger me would slap current me in the face for even thinking it - but I miss W and the neocons. Still irredeemably evil, but not "Snidely Whiplash tying a Mexican to the train tracks and posting it to the 'Gram" evil.
I don’t think you’re alone. I have had the same feeling about W. I think the current lunge towards the far right feels far less “contained” and I’m not sure where it will eventually take this country. And then there are the damaged relationships with other countries. I couldn’t have imagined having a broken relationship with Canada. What is America’s place in the future world after this administration?
The Trump administration made a Twitter post repeating far right supremacist calls for deporting 100 million Americans. Statistically this would also mean deporting a large number of citizens. This is a dangerous idea to repeat in official channels. Apart from the humanitarian impact and potential unconstitutionality of such actions, it will also mean less access to valuable talent for the tech industry.

It's a pretty picture.
Nice car, a V8 from the Sixties, no doubt.
Blue skies. Nothing but blue skies.
I wonder if those berries nearby are poisonous.
Is that Hawaii, Clearwater Florida, or Galveston Texas?
Wait, is that a tsunami?!
This is a secret subtle subliminal message (global warming is real) from a subversive Antifa agent fighting for America from within DHS.
"Besieged by the third world?" Odd. I thought this was just about enforcing existing immigration laws and only targeting illegal immigrants.
I'm pretty sure there aren't 100 million illegal immigrants in the US. There aren't even that many legal immigrants in the US.

Trump has with impunity engaged in so many clearly unconstitutional acts that it is clear that the constitution is merely a worthless piece of paper.
