well, if anyone still needed proof this is a racist thing, here it is. its not about legal status, its about non-white people.

most of us already knew.

removing 500,000 employees/customers from the economy, sounds like Trump is pushing for recession in more than one way

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 weeks ago

I can't help but wonder what the plan is to replace those employees.

That's 500k highly motivated dedicated employees.

Are they going to make a slave class out of homeless people, substance abusers, people with mental health disorders, et cetera?

Maybe invite the same people back on much worse terms. Indebted servitude with no pathway to citizenship.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 34 points 2 weeks ago

Going to? Have you been living under a rock where there is no private prison industrial complex? They've been jailing people and using them for slave labor for centuries.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, concentration camps in Nazi Germany were first and foremost work camps. When their slaves I mean prisoners with jobs didn't die fast enough from exhaustion, only then did they turn into death camps.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

They literally sent over 150 people to a slave labor camps without due process against a judge's explicit orders.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

A) a slave class? Yes.

B) also robots.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Destroy social security. Price houses out of reach for old people the old people work in the fields until death.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Our birth rate is already so low or in danger. Any country not allowing migrants in is toast

GOP: “We only want to deport the illegals, if they want to be here they should do it legally”

Immigrants: “ok, we’ll come on this program specifically designed to allow a legal pathway to citizenship”

GOP: “No not like that!”

Y'all better start learning to garden. The crops are going to be rotting in the fields this year. And no country is going to be interested in shipping any in. Ya know, tarrifs and friendly with russia and such.

[-] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 58 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Well, that's just a new level of fucked up cruel. Their plan from the start, but certainly not the last.

I'm out of swears at the moment. Care to lend me some?

Honestly at this point im getting a little jealous some of them have somewhere to go that isn't so...Hitlery.

The only reason why people sacrifice so much to move to another country is because their country of origin is terrible. This is just choosing between two evils. Yes, you escape the fascism of the US, but your problems are not exactly solved.

Something like Canada accepting them would be a better result.

Well Venezuelan migrants have the option of post modern distopic Narco eastern Europe.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 36 points 2 weeks ago

I really wish somebody would stop him.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

It's truly a shame how much difference two inches can make

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's what she said.

I'm so desparate for a portal into that universe just see it.

Afterwards, I'd jump into the timeline where the fucker lost in 2016. Fuck this shit.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 25 points 2 weeks ago

What say the people who were saying he's only deporting people who were here illegally? They called us irrational for thinking he'd strip legal immigrants of their status. Next, he'll try to take citizenship away from citizens.

[-] Botanicals@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

That is absolutely next. Watch who the news stirs up controversy against and they will be the next target. Venezuelans are a good example of this because there were several news campaigns to tarnish them last year that are fueling the hate now.

Next, he’ll try to take citizenship away from citizens.

Denaturalization takes too much work and only works on naturalized citizens. He'd just skip all that deport them anyways and then if he gets called out, go "oopsie" and take 4 years to "process"/"verify" their citizenship status, meanwhile trying to seize any of their assets in the US.

[-] lunar17@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

The Department of Homeland Security said it will seek the arrest and deportation of those subject to the policy change if they fail to depart the U.S. in the next 30 days. Officials are urging migrants to use the newly repurposed CBP Home smartphone app to register for self-deportation.

"Please use our smartphone app to register with the gestapo" isn't the cyberpunk future I wanted.

Please use our smartphone app

Already existed before this administration. The only difference being the previous administration was slightly more humane to immigrants.

Fuck that! If they are going to pull this shit then make THEM have to pay to transport you.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 18 points 2 weeks ago

...they'll transport you to a black site in El Salvador, tho.

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

All 500,000? They have a lot of space, but not that much.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Then they'll eliminate the prisoners least able to work to make room for the fresh ones.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And they’ll convince a few that they’re special and should totally betray their kind and switch sides, before being leopard food (just like the nazis did for a few jews that worked for them)

I agree with the sentinment, but in practice its a bad idea.

If they leave now, they might be able to return after the US denazifies in the future.

If they get forcibly removed, they end up in an el salvador concentration camp and might never get out of there.

Its like a "picking your method of execution" scenario.
