In my fantasy world, where I’m in charge of deportations, every illegal immigrant we apprehend who is not from the Americas would be consolidated near the southern border in Texas. We would gather the U.S. military’s personnel transport trucks, along with school buses that sit unused during the summer, and, supported by armored divisions, cross into Mexico. The trucks would be unloaded, and if anyone resisted—or if vehicles attempted to block the operation—those obstacles would simply be pushed aside. We would leave everyone in Mexico, return, reload, and repeat the process continuously until it was complete.
Anyone in the country illegally who is from the Americas would instead be transported by ship or aircraft. We would seize a port and airfield in Somalia and deliver them there.
After that, anyone still remaining in the country illegally would be given a simple choice: this is what will happen if you stay. You would not be permitted to leave while owing any debt. Instead, you would be placed in work camps until that debt was repaid. Once it was, you would be transported to a continent other than the one you came from and released with nothing more than a pair of flip-flops and the disposable clothing provided by a hospital.
The choice would be straightforward: leave voluntarily now, or face those consequences later. You can do it the easy way, or you can do it the hard way.
@KaitWillett Just being acknowledged is a good start. Now ask a man the last time a woman complimented him. Or better yet complimented his looks (that wasn’t his grandmother)
Most can probably vividly remember the last time and it was probably decades ago
“You can’t just blow up drug-smuggling boats in the Gulf of America.”
“You can’t just bomb Iran into the Stone Age.”
“You can’t just fly into Venezuela, conduct a special operations raid, and snatch its dictator.”
“You can’t just deport millions of people.”
“You can’t just secure the border.”
It turns out you actually “can just do things”
What else have we been told “can’t be done” that is, in fact, entirely possible if the will exists?
@mr_jackdonovan Slightly more long winded …
“Those who never bear responsibility can always afford moral purity; the luxury of having no power is that you never have to compromise.”
