I'm definitely interested in a non-racist point of view that could work - but here we are. To me, "remove the illegals" doesn't solve any problem. If they're 'taking your job' - maybe you should use resources available to you *as a citizen* to get a better job.

1.2M convicted criminals currently in jail. Putting immigrants in GB for processing out? They want to increase the incarcerated population (without due process) by 30%. I see human rights violations (see Rohingya genocide) all over the place.

They have to find the illegals. Just because you can find them, sweeping up the folks living here legally is not collateral damage it's just bigoted.
On the way into the US, they were incarcerating folks up to 18 months to kick them out - permanently losing/separating children.

$315 BILLION one time cost, and $88 BILLION a year for 10 years. ICE needs to increase 24x in size to be able to handle the volume. We would need to add 1000 immigration courts (judges, etc).

They want to arrest 1500 people/day. At 200 days/yr - that's 300K people/yr. They'll need to process/incarcerate them. They won't be able to work while they're awaiting deportation. The govt will have to feed/house them while waiting.

Now he'll probably be in prison the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Trump has been a one-man crime spree for decades and has never been in a cell and investigating and charging him took years and years before the case ultimately went away.

Two systems of justice.

At the time, I felt super guilty that one of my kids took their Polaris and spun out into a telephone pole (no injuries).

We haven't been invited back to that side of the family,
but in retrospect...ok.
