Summary
Fear is spreading among undocumented communities in the U.S. as Trump prepares to return to the White House, pledging the largest mass deportation “in U.S. history.”
Advocates warn this could mean separation for millions in mixed-status families, and would require significant infrastructure, including detention camps, potentially costing $968 billion over a decade.
Trump also plans to revive harsh policies like “Remain in Mexico,” affecting 74,000 asylum seekers, and to dismantle Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the 2012 Obama policy protecting about 825,000 “Dreamers” from deportation.
Additionally, he has threatened to revoke protections for Haitian and Gazan refugees and reimpose a travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries.

“why are grocery prices going up so much?”
“it’s all biden’s fault”
all while the diaper’s on network news boasting about kicking out another million people.
Actually, once they round up all the illegals and sell them off to corporations as slave labor… or “prisoners” I guess we call them, we should see a real drop in prices. Woohoo!! Avocado toast for cheap! Suck that boomer. :-|
They can just establish jails on the fields they currently work and save the hassle. Just transfer the prisoners around at the different harvest times while the inadequate court system works its way to their case. Since they’re poor and the conservatives don’t want to pay for their lawyers, the companies can sponsor lawyers for them and avoid the need for any pesky public defender. Just submit your periodic “delay the case” motion so you can be kicked back to the end of the line and get more labor.
This is not too far off from the reality in CA where voters essentially mandated prisoners to be used as wild-fire fighting fodder.
