“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens.
What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation.
It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.
Every dictator in history has lied.
Donald Trump is no different.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.
