They are all going back to keep families together.

That might start out as the goal, but no way will it end up like that. This deportation plan is a preventable humanitarian disaster. People aren't just going to put on a plane and deported in 2 hours. They are going to be held in camps while the "appeals" process gets underway.

The camps will:

  • Employ poorly trained people to be guards / clerks / supervisors

  • Detain people who are citizens, but have the same name as undocumented people. The Trump crowd is not good at nuance, and nuance is needed to differentiate between Miguel Diaz the citizen and Miguel Diaz the undocumented immigrant. "You're all brown; get in the truck" will be a common phrase for JimBob Trump Supporter with a Badge

  • Not be large enough for the number of people going there, resulting in overcrowding; overcrowding will mean poor sanitation; people will get sick and die from communicable diseases / illnesses

  • Not have enough food, or the food will be terrible for the prisoners. Private contractors will scrimp and save by cutting ration bars below the recommended 2,000 calorie day diet

  • Employ guards who will rape / sexually assault women and children

  • Will alternatively be too cold, or too hot. People will die from temperature extremes

  • People will try to escape / riot, you know, because they've been locked up against their will, and guards will shoot them. Trump's administration will commit a mass shooting

  • Cover up people dying in the camps; bodies will be buried in unmarked graves

Add to your list:

  • be forced to perform slave labor

    And your list is probably the best case scenario.

Didn’t some guy with a really bad mustache do exactly the same shit in the early 1900s? Seems familiar.

Hey, now, you’re not allowed to suggest people are Nazis until they’ve thoroughly carried out every action the Nazis did using the exact vocabulary the Nazis used.

Sadly and horrifically, this is exactly what will happen, to the great joy of many MAGAts.
