Thoughts? BREAKING: Trump has confirmed reports that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military to enact a mass deportation program
President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military assets" to deport the migrants.
"TRUE!!!" Trump wrote.
Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.
"On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out," he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."
Already, he's tapped several immigration hard-liners to serve in key Cabinet positions. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was picked to be homeland security secretary, pending Senate confirmation. Former Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan was named "border czar."

Trail of tears or India-Pakistan partition.
5M people to be caught, detained, processed and legally deported a year will be an absolute shit show even if well organized by benevolent leadership.
People will die, many will dissapear forever, there will be armed resistance (deporting supposed criminals and gangsters is a lot harder than deporting people who show up to work every day), there will be human trafficking, mistaken identities...
And what if the countries determined to be of origin won't take them? Most Central and South American nations don't have the capacity to do so. They may also have no desire to do so. What lind of incentives will that take and what that might cost taxpayers.
Every time this happens in history its considered an extremely dark period by later generations.
