Big numbers start getting hard to really properly visualise, but for reference, the numbers here correspond to deporting about 5% of all people in the United States. 1 in 20 people. It's numbers just slightly shy of the population of Florida, or a bit bigger than the population of the Portugal

Speaking of which, most of these people will be in countries like Florida or Texas right? So it’ll be more like 20% of Florida, plus 20% of Texas, etc. (I don’t know the numbers, this is my hand wavy guess).

Wouldn't it be easier if we did just deport the population of Florida? I mean, we know where they are, to start with.

This is also where I will gently note that the primary authors of #Project25 and #Agenda47 (namely, Christian Nationalists associated with Manifest Sons of God descended groups like the New Apostolic Reformation) DO have documented histories of genocide, which is where this would inevitably go

I really don't even understand this number, isn't the number of immigrants present without visa authorization something like 10-12 million? so how do these maniacs get to 15-20 million?

I agree with everything- but I also suspect that it’s red meat for the rubes to get Trump back in. Then the meatpackers, the Farm Bureau, construction, restaurant & hospitality orgs will have their people make some calls, & these plans will go away, just like taxes & regs on these same industries.

It's always a bit tempting to see the sheer vastness of their evil as a sign that perhaps it will be impossible or is just rhetoric. But it's not. And it's not impt whether they succeed; it's impt that they intend to try it, and at those sorts of scales.

Stalin’s purges sent, according to different sources, between 1.3M and 3.8M political prisoners to GULAG. Total population of the USSR was 170M according to the 1939 census. The system could not maintain the flow at the peak in 1937 - think overcrowded barracks, malnutrition, excess mortality.

And those big numbers will “accidentally” include US citizens, green card holders/permanent residents, people on student and tourist visas. Which will be then used to justify purifying America of the folks mistaken for undocumented entries/overstays and Muslims.

Its happening with extreme right parties everywhere. The UK deporting migrants to Rwanda, The AFD in Germany with remigration rhetoric. They ignored climate change for yrs but it's obvious now. It will cause mass migration globally. The conservatives fear that more than the actual climate change.

The neighborhood I live in has had a drastic change in demographics since I moved in 15 years ago. There has been an influx of immigrants from Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) over that time, and I shudder to think what would happen around here if Trump had his way.

To me this drives home something important. The oppression and deprivation of marginalized populations in the United States harms as many people as the population of a small country. This deportation would equal the population of Estonia, for example.
