I am still unsure if these mass deportations are actually happening or will ever actually happen. So far it looks like the expulsion rate isn't much higher than it ever has been. All Trump really wants is for people to THINK they are happening. As far as I know the meat packing plants in Nebraska with a significant number of undocumented workers have remained untouched.

Time will tell.

It is beginning to look like "mass deportation" is as real as "The Wall paid for by Mexico."

I hope you are right. There's a real risk that frustration with the slow pace of deportations will cause an escalation. Even more suffering by immigrants and contempt for the law from the administration.

What "slow pace"?

I think you are using one of Trump's ploys when he invents a problem that "everybody knows".

This is a very important article, and I am sharing it via my Sustack. An important question for the future is why there is a term illegal migration and illegal (im)migrant from the start. When are all humans going to be recognised as equal global citizens?

Do you leave the front door to your home open at all times and accept total strangers as trusted members of your family?

But it's standard procedure for the establishment of a new totalitarian country.

Fewer and fewer people are in denial regarding the preZident’s penchant for pathological lying. The shift is when people stop pretending to themselves that his lies don’t matter.

Did the left obsess over the lies of their preferred leader during Biden's administration?

They lied about Hunter Biden's laptop affecting the outcome of the 2020 election, they lied about the safety and efficacy of the Covid vaccines, which everyone was coerced into taking and worst of all, they lied about the cognitive ability of Joe Biden, who was a shell of a human and incapable of functioning in office. An obvious puppet.

Once the left analyzes itself with the same intensity as they do the right, maybe the people will start listening. But for now, everyone sees through it all.

Sounds like CWC-violating novichok-brainrot hybrid trumpomuZkovian FRAUD:

“..government deploys new types of chemical weapons, intended to make the rebels docile…”

““Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons,” Putin said in an essay published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s newspaper of record, “but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.””

“..Mirzayanov was in a position to know the harm being visited upon his fellow citizens.”

Thank you for your siummary of all the great work our government is doing. It is wonderful to know that our government is finely taking enforcing our boarder seriously. After four years of demented Joe’s handlers allowing illegal aliens to flood our country. We look forward to the day when over a million individuals have been sent back to where they come from.

That border has been mostly open since the Louisiana Purchase. You and your MAGA mates are just looking for any problem you can stir up.

I want to know about these US citizens being deported. He glosses over that bit. I suspect they're gang bangers, pimps, drug dealers and smugglers.

If Trump is deporting American citizens, we have a serious problem. A tree of liberty being nourished by the blood of patriots and tyrants kind of problem.

If he's deporting illegals and naturalized citizens who have committed egregious crimes, I'm ok with that. Illegals are not innocent. They take jobs from citizens, drive down wages, drive up housing prices, drive up food prices, accept work in horrible conditions, and bring the attitudes that made their own countries crime infested shit holes.

Hmm. I think I have found another source of race-based lies.

It's mind boggling to think that the Left now believe removing "illegal" people from a country is 'lawless'.

So remedying lawlessness is against the law? How does that make sense? lol

Just as importantly, it's fully offensive to EVERYONE who enters a country lawfully and carefully, through the proper channels.

All opinions like this do is prove that the Left are in support of lawlessness, something the majority of Americans voted against, and by extension, the Dems are STILL opposing the will of the majority of American voters and in doing so, are more interested in changing the will of the voters than doing the will of the voters.

And so we've come full circle.

So because someone disagrees with you, they're automatically the enemy? How very Marxist of you.

I'm an old school Liberal who rejects the moves of today's left as Liberal. They are anything but...instead, it's class warfare disguised as a Liberal party.

The rule of law has a place in society, and if you can't reasonably or logically disagree with the content of the message and you can only smear the messenger, you've already lost.

Illegal? Get with the program: they're merely "undocumented."

Next up, don't use the word "shoplifting." It's "undocumented shopping."

The thing is that you can do shopping from Florida to New York, across the USA. But for different reasons, we as humans cannot go shopping worldwide. We lack global citizenship and equal rights.

Do you leave the front door to your home open at all times and accept total strangers as trusted members of your family?

Or, if they walked in and stayed in your home, would they be there illegally?

Trumpomuskovian fascist CWC-violating FRAUD:

“General Sir Nick Carter, the head of the UK armed forces, described the risk to nations like the UK if attacks in the grey zone go unchallenged.”

“..government deploys new types of chemical weapons, intended to make the rebels docile…”

““Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons,” Putin said in an essay published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s newspaper of record, “but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.””
