Any attempt to deport eleven million will be a nightmare

[gulliver]

5. If past is prolog, it will be another "Trump Show" with Dems as his political foils

Republicans will fire up the bill Trump killed. Trump will make token changes to "make it better," sign it, and take credit. Dems will have no choice but to vote for it.

Trump will start by going after any non-citizen in jail or convicted of any crime, imo. Some groups and cities will oppose this. Trump will say the Dems want to keep criminals in the United States.

ICE will do token crackdowns in blue cities. It's logistically impossible to find tens of millions of people who don't want to be found. So, Trump will find a dozen groups of people or so in each of a dozen blue cities. He'll raid them and play it up. The media will play it non-stop between ads. There will be women and children crying, brown people being led off to jail. The Dems will help Trump by being outraged and filing lawsuits.

It will be like the wall in that it won't do anything statistically and is a stupid idea. When the new super-wall (deportation) fails to make a numeric dent, Trump will claim the Dems blocked him.

And so on...
