Not me. I’m gonna openly laugh at them. They will be quite literally getting what they want. Hell, in some respects, I’ll be pissed if he *doesn’t* follow through. Trump didn’t even try to hide that his policies would be devastating economically for the middle and working classes- he simply had Elon Musk start the narrative that a little economic pain is a good thing! Paying higher prices at the pump, at the supermarket checkout, etc. will be a minor annoyance/inconvenience for me, and certainly well worth the hard lesson in economics that many voters are about to learn.

My simple retort to the whining will be - "You were an idiot if you did not see this coming. That's why I voted for Harris."

To be clear, I’ve got absolutely no issue whatsoever with deporting undocumented immigrants who get arrested for committing crimes. None whatsoever. Why wouldn’t we deport them? But for all the ones that are here and are working hard, helping us to build our economy, paying taxes (and largely not benefitting from any of the social services which their taxes help pay), and generally being good and productive members of society, deporting them is not only unnecessarily cruel for cruelty’s sake, it’s the epitome of cutting off our nose to spite our face. It’s idiotic.

Strengthen the border further by beefing up border security personnel and investing heavily into high-tech means of securing the border. Grow the number of immigration judges and personnel to help make the immigration process easier and more efficient for the folks who want to come here to build a better life and contribute to our great country. Stop demonizing those who want to come here and do those that things. Arrest and deport all others.

Really? Then why are huge numbers of construction, landscaping, housekeeping and agricultural workers immigrants? I don’t know where you live, but when is the last time you saw a roofer or commercial landscaper who wasn’t the foreman speaking English?

Because you can't deport 15 million in a vacuum. You can legally bring people in for those you deport where needed.

Lol, you cannot possibly believe that our current legal immigration system can bring in anywhere close to the number of laborers needed and place them where needed when needed.

Which brings us full circle to immigration reform. Remind me again who has been blocking that?

Maybe our great leader and deal maker can convince France to take her back. Hell…CA will become her caretaker, gladly.

Lol, i guarantee that my housekeeper from Venezuela doesn't have legal status. I'm nearly certain that none of the landscaping crew doing my yard does either. I'm also having new windows installed. I'd wager that when that crew shows up there won't be many US citizens or legal immigrants doing that. The house across the street is getting anew roof today. They started today and are almost finished. I bet there isn't a legal immigrant among them. The work is being done fast, well, and cleanly.

Who is supposed to replace all these people?

If the Dems have half a brain, they’ll force the Republicans to try to pass it themselves with zero Democratic concessions this time.

Lol, even better...filibuster the fuck or if it And force them to break the filibuster. This will cause them to go wild with draconian shit in the partisan version.
