Will this happen? Doubtful. But you never know. It’s entirely possible that some kind of civil disobedience is going to be necessary if they follow through on these plans:
Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston recently said he was prepared to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump administration’s border policies. The president-elect’s pick to be the next border czar responded that he’s willing to put him there.
“You are absolutely breaking the law,” Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar” designate, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “All he has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S. and he would see he’s breaking the law. But, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail.”
Stephen Miller is in charge of this project with Tom Homan as his spokesperson. Do you want to place your hopes in Stephen Miller being unwilling to push the boundaries? I’m not.
The logistics of deporting tens of millions of people are daunting. The logistics of deporting a few million, are doable. There are going to be round-ups and confrontations. And since there is a ton of grift to be made, they’re going to build out the infrastructure to make that happen. Something’s going to happen, we just don’t know how bad it will be.
