Trump's retribution and deportation rhetorical bullsh*t have been previous DU topics so apologies for kicking dead horses...
I don't doubt some number of immigrants will be deported to somewhere...but 20 million? That's a number equal to the population of Florida. "They" talk about deporting massive numbers of people but don't give the details on where they will be deported to. What country will say "Yeah, we'll take a few million?"
Add to that, locating the 'illegals' will require massive numbers of locators, then the 'located' people will have to be detained in some facility and taken care of while 'they' find a place to send them.
The necessary logistics for a successful deportation process are mind boggling.

Parts of that were in the proposed bill that Trump nixed. But the rest of it won't take place.
So far as 'retribution' for the Jan 6 committee...

The former Illinois congressman, who was one of two Republicans alongside Liz Cheney to serve on the committee, challenged Trump to give him jail time, writing that the president-elect was "rewriting history" and "playing the victim."
You can't put people in jail for doing their jobs...

How ya gonna feed those ya round up? How ya gonna dispose of the bodies without publicity and knowledge of the public.
How ya gonna continue to lie? Thought Id throw a stupid question into the mix.

Wouldnt surprise me if they show mercy by allowing detainees the option to do manual labor during their time in the camps. A la prison labor.

(26,802 posts)It would take 10,000 bus trips to deport one million, assuming each bus carries 100 people. The reality is, most busses carry fewer than 50 people. So many, many, many thousands of bus trips would happen.
On the up side, a lot of driver jobs would now be available.
