Pulling the ladder up behind you like this is impressive.
I personally know a trump voter with a Latina wife (born in the US). But the fact that deporting 20 million people would mean mass arrests, chucking people in camps and figuring it out later was poo poohed away. "He would never do that… " Well that’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pans out.
If only we had some sort of American example of how this would work in practice… Using the same law that is being floated…
Operation Wetback was more recent. It’s called wetback because our government had a sweepstakes to name it, we even had events like fairs to celebrate. People could come get some cotton candy, ride the rides, and see Mexicans in cages. Then they’d be loaded up by truck or even helicopter and deposited somewhere deep into Mexico.
And of course it wasn’t just “illegal aliens.” In operation Wetback, they all can go.
Could I get a link to the fairs? It doesn’t make the core of it any less terrible but I’d like to see more information about it before sticking that in my brain, ya know?

If you hadn’t brought this to my attention, I was going to joke that they’d name it after some slur but here we are
Not just Japanese
