These guys are not fooling around. Thus far it appears they fully intend to get busy deporting migrants, and with Stephen Miller in charge it will be a brutal as necessary to "cleanse American blood". There's an estimated 4.7 households in the USA with mixed immigration status, meaning if the MAGAs are uncompromising families will be broken apart, or all deported as an option. What about personal property, like cars and houses? Those will be lost. One MAGA official is saying that undocumented migrants with property had better get their affairs in order in the next few months.I hope that those who voted for Donald Trump really are true believers, because one thing is becoming extraordinarily clear: Donald Trump is set to be the single most powerful President in American history, for at least the next 2 years. Consider:
So, as I said, he really had better be the savior so many of you were looking for, because you've granted him almost unlimited power to do whatever the hell he wants.
- He's got the Senate wrapped up, and likely the House.
- His court appointments, along with how that impacted the Supreme Court in granting him immunity to pretty much anything, ensure that he'll win every attempt to constrain him legally. This will get worse as he appoints more judges. (He has already ordered the Senate to stop confirming judicial appointments from the current administration.)
- The three Republicans seeking to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader have already kowtowed to his first demand -- "grant me scrutiny-free appointments."
- Because of that scrutiny-free appointment power, powerful positions will be filled by under-qualified Trump loyalists, who will do his bidding without respect to predictable outcomes.
If this all happens as seems likely it will be videoed and reported on. I doubt the MAGAdministration will answer any questions and try to conseal these acts. Even if they did a modest round up and deportation it will create chaos for any communities and businesses. There's going to be backlash. This type of massive deportation can only appeal to those who are morally damaged.
