   "Mass Deportation Now" is obviously inhumane. Horrifically so.

   But I am curious if the people asking it have thought about what would happen if we deported 10-20 million people (target numbers that have been thrown around by Trump and gang) from this country. Do they really think their lives would be unaffected?

   They think 20 million people could disappear and nothing would change?

     If you think that undocumented immigrants have so little impact on your life that you wouldn't even notice them being gone (which you're wrong about), why do you want them gone so desperately? You apparently believe you never interact with them and that they have no connection to you or anything else in this country.

     There's obviously the jobs immigrants do (and it's not JUST agricultural work—so many industries would be affected), but there's also the money they spend.

     Immigrants buy things here. Everyone needs groceries. And clothes. And everything else. You think we could suddenly disappear 20 million people and there would be no economic impact?

     Really? Really?

     "Mass Deportation" would be our Brexit (but a million times crueler). It would be a disaster.
