        Fun fact, if you’re targeted for deportation you can always voluntarily self deport. So if they create a diaspora there’s going to be 3 major populations of expats. Mexico, where the administration will dump them. Canada where the people who could only afford a road trip went. And the EU where people who can afford a plane ticket went.

      The right wing has wanted to do this for a while. The rhetoric started with homeless people, (because everyone hates them, they’re icky), and expanded to anyone they don’t like. Hilariously, without a lot of other changes those people can still vote and if they’re getting government disability, will continue to receive that. It will also serve to make the US a pariah state as the one thing nobody wants is refugees. Even ones with money attached.
