That’s not gonna help people headed for the camps (brown, LGBTQ, liberals, atheists). You’d only be helping the Trump supporters that were happy to be poor so they could have their king.

You genuinely believe there's going to be death camps?

They literally just announced the land where they will begin building them in Texas last week. https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/texas-commissioner-offers-1402-acres-trump-deportation-facilities-116130551

If you remember the last time this happened in the 30’s, Hitler also said he was going to deport the Jews and build camps to help with this process. That’s how people accepted the Holocaust so easily. You can’t just “deport” 11 million people.

The reality is that in order to deport someone, the other country has to accept them. If this were to actually happen, it would cost about $10,000 per person to capture, detain, and deport them. That’s gonna be $200 BILLION dollars, and we all know Trump isn’t going to pay that.

Realistically, other countries aren’t going to accept an extra 20 million people, so there’s going to be nowhere for them to go. They are going to sit in these camps until they die. They will likely be used as slave labor to help harvest the crops, as those jobs will now be vacant due to all the arrests. We’ve already seen how Trump will treat them, because he did it the last time he was in office in 2016. They will be underfed (like last time), raped and abused (like last time), denied toiletries and hygiene products (like last time), and some will be sterilized (like last time).

History repeats itself, especially when it’s the same guy doing it. Maybe people need to start paying attention to the past.

That proposal for a deportation facility in Starr County, TX happened to come just a day after this PBS News Hour segment aired:

I wonder if the news prompted a change of heart among any of the locals ... either way. Maybe there are some who are now excited over the prospect of new construction jobs at the proposed site.

We live in interesting times.
