when one third of the country flooded due to global heating.
Sorry, I know this is off-topic, but that's what came to mind when I saw your subject line. We already have climate refugees by the millions. Just wait until it hits the billions.

I agree that 10 million fugitives would be quite an issue. He won't do that so drastically, though. The rich want undoc'ed workers, poor and desperate, willing to take any peanuts they hand out, and no complaining to OSHA. I think he would round up a few thousand a year, with massive publicity, of undoc'ed who dare to raise their heads up and ask to be treated as humans. He'll make some awful examples. Cheaper to shoot and kill them, "STOP RESISTING!". That's why he's talking about violent policing.
