Yesterday’s headline was about Latino voters choosing Trump for economic reasons.
No price tag.

He didn’t mean them though, just the other minorities. He knows who voted for him……..
oh the stupidity
Meanwhile musk still hasn’t been deported for being illegal 20 years ago like that guy. Sounds about white
Whaaaaatttt? How could that happen???!!!!
You'll have to speak up. He can't hear you over the leopards.
Yes, that sounds bad. But how else should we decide who to deport? How could we decide who is a "bad immigrant"? Maybe they get citizen status and then we realized they are also a criminal? Should they then also be deported? A US citizen? Maybe yes!
I only see two solutions:
- Directly deport every foreigner, no matter if anyone thinks they are good or bad
- Deport everyone who ever got sentenced because of anything. Independent of their citizen status. This might include a lot of people that are thought of as American, but almost nobody is originally from here. And this way we clearly get rid of all the bad people.
(/s, just to be sure)

The ones that can vote are all here legally. Of course some will be caught up in the dragnet anyway, but nobody told them that in so many words. They think it'll only affect others.
There are only like 2 million "illegal" Latino immigrants here. Trump/project 2025 wants to denaturalize 25 million Latinos. That would certainly include people who were born here and/or who can legally vote. Trump has stated he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship.
Wait, he's going to strip citizenship as well?
Yes, that is explicitly the plan in Project 2025.
Good thing journalists are only asking the policy questions after the election. Not that it would've mattered for the result, but still.
Well, they had a horse race to run.
Also: bOtH sIdEs!
Yet healthcare for all is too expensive. Not cruel enough ig
Haven't been paying attention? Unless it's the BEST, BIGGEST or FIRST, the American mind can't comprehend its existence. They'd be literally the last to do healthcare, boring! But the FIRST to evaporate their economy with the BIGGEST mass deportation in history, now that's something the BEST nation can get behind! /s
Brown people might get it, too, so we cannot have nice things.
First thing i thought of too 🥂

Trump in 2 months: "Mass deportation is too expensive, so we need a final solution"

So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and... err.... reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs
Well, buckle up, because it gets even stupider from here on out. This same policy genius thinks Elon Musk is so gooodest at doing bidness like Xitter, that he should be in charge of "cutting waste" in our government, or something.
On top of the money that goes in to social security from migrants that cant withdrawal it. And the taxes we get from them in general
Well he’ll probably try to kill both Medicare & Social Security so he’ll see it as a net positive…
“And you know, I’m not somebody that says, 'No, you can’t come in.' We want people to come in."
“We just want them to leave again unless they think and act and look just like us.”
who wants to bet that there is, in fact, a price tag for his mass deportation plan?
I'd even wager that each time he mentions the cost it will be higher than last time. I suspect it will be measured in the billions and will increase 2-4 billion each time he talks about it. By the time it finally begins to get enacted, I'm guessing the estimated total to ship them all out will likely run in the hundreds of billions.
I recommend anyone living in the US in the lower end of this chart to carry your papers or at least a copy on you at all times from now on.
Bold of you to assume they will bother looking at the papers.
Fair, but on the off chance it does help, you might as well take that precaution.
Do you think maybe I could be “deported” to Canada in a way that Canada would have to accept me immediately?
I guess I’ll have to apply for legal immigration;)

For anything like debt relief, or any kind of social program, the qons - and the "liberal media" - always ask, immediately, and with pikachu face: "but how are you gonna pay for it?!!!111"
I hope you remember, people who "felt poor" because of the price of eggs or whatever....there is endless amounts of money to spend on deporting people, but if anyone were to talk about helping YOU, well, to borrow a phrase: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, there is no money for something like that, no sir!
Also, you can BET that some of donvict's friends will be making money from this "plan":
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
I mean, it sounds like they did ask how much it would cost, he just bulldozed through the question instead of seriously engaging with it and legacy media is too chickenshit to report it as "Trump apathetic about costs of deportation plan" or "Mass Deportation to Cost Billions Despite Trump's Claims" because putting the things he says in context makes him sound like the madman he is and apparently truth is no longer sufficient defense from defamation.
It will eventually be paid for with crypto TrumpBux mined by mandatory Neuralink brain chips.
Your idle Tesla is now mining TrumpBux. Remain motionless to update Neuralink
Because Mexico's gonna pay for it, right? What a brain.
