Trump says there's 'no price tag' for his mass deportation plan

Yesterday’s headline was about Latino voters choosing Trump for economic reasons.

No price tag.

He didn’t mean them though, just the other minorities. He knows who voted for him……..

oh the stupidity

Meanwhile musk still hasn’t been deported for being illegal 20 years ago like that guy. Sounds about white

Yes, that sounds bad. But how else should we decide who to deport? How could we decide who is a "bad immigrant"? Maybe they get citizen status and then we realized they are also a criminal? Should they then also be deported? A US citizen? Maybe yes!

I only see two solutions:

  1. Directly deport every foreigner, no matter if anyone thinks they are good or bad
  2. Deport everyone who ever got sentenced because of anything. Independent of their citizen status. This might include a lot of people that are thought of as American, but almost nobody is originally from here. And this way we clearly get rid of all the bad people.

(/s, just to be sure)

I'd commit a crime just to get deported, tbh

Those get deported to Gaza camp though. (This is one of their actual plans)

The ones that can vote are all here legally. Of course some will be caught up in the dragnet anyway, but nobody told them that in so many words. They think it'll only affect others.

There are only like 2 million "illegal" Latino immigrants here. Trump/project 2025 wants to denaturalize 25 million Latinos. That would certainly include people who were born here and/or who can legally vote. Trump has stated he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship.

Wait, he's going to strip citizenship as well?

Yep.

Democrats should've probably mentioned that.

They did. The media did. We can argue that neither said it often enough or loud enough. But ultimately people in general just didn't care to listen either way. The information was out there. But people stuck with their propaganda.

Good thing journalists are only asking the policy questions after the election. Not that it would've mattered for the result, but still.

Yet healthcare for all is too expensive. Not cruel enough ig

Haven't been paying attention? Unless it's the BEST, BIGGEST or FIRST, the American mind can't comprehend its existence. They'd be literally the last to do healthcare, boring! But the FIRST to evaporate their economy with the BIGGEST mass deportation in history, now that's something the BEST nation can get behind! /s

“And you know, I’m not somebody that says, 'No, you can’t come in.' We want people to come in."

“We just want them to leave again unless they think and act and look just like us.”

So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and... err.... reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs

On top of the money that goes in to social security from migrants that cant withdrawal it. And the taxes we get from them in general

Well he’ll probably try to kill both Medicare & Social Security so he’ll see it as a net positive…

who wants to bet that there is, in fact, a price tag for his mass deportation plan?

I'd even wager that each time he mentions the cost it will be higher than last time. I suspect it will be measured in the billions and will increase 2-4 billion each time he talks about it. By the time it finally begins to get enacted, I'm guessing the estimated total to ship them all out will likely run in the hundreds of billions.

Do you think maybe I could be “deported” to Canada in a way that Canada would have to accept me immediately?

Quality of life is better in the US so good luck with this

Lol. Fuck off.

Signed, A Canadian who has to work all over the US. Sure, if you happen to be really rich, your quality of life might be better there than here. But for the vast majority of people, that is a fucking laughable statement.

I recommend anyone living in the US in the lower end of this chart to carry your papers or at least a copy on you at all times from now on.

Bold of you to assume they will bother looking at the papers.

Fair, but on the off chance it does help, you might as well take that precaution.

It will eventually be paid for with crypto TrumpBux mined by mandatory Neuralink brain chips.
