   "Trump will begin operations to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term, campaign press sec Karoline Leavitt said Wed morning.

   He'll launch the "largest mass deportation operation" of undocumented immigrants on Day 1."

   Who will build homes, work in the fields, in home HC...? Will relatives leave with their deported loved ones, or will they stay? How will they survive financially, cope emotionally...?

     Food for thought: mass deportations are very hard, if not impossible, from a logistical perspective. What is way easier is putting masses of people into prison camps. The only thing that is "better" than paying people very little for their labor is paying them nothing instead.
     Nazi concentration camps didn't start as death camps, but "normal" labor camps, while the general population was only being told that the Jews etc. were being taken "away(deported)".

     @KimPerales And he ain’t deporting anyone, as most of his base can’t work in temperatures over 70 degrees Fahrenheit… So they have no one to do those jobs. Unless his boy toy, nerd friend Musk, was able to use AI to do something other than to operate vehicles…

     @rlstone4dems He'll deport quite a few undocumented immigrants before he'll be made to stop. I suspect that he'll be pushed out soon after he's president, so Vance can take over, while Thiel & Musk can decimate the fed govt. They'll all find various ways to profiteer.
