      Haven’t been paying attention? Unless it’s the BEST, BIGGEST or FIRST, the American mind can’t comprehend its existence. They’d be literally the last to do healthcare, boring! But the FIRST to evaporate their economy with the BIGGEST mass deportation in history, now that’s something the BEST nation can get behind! /s

    So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and… err… reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs

      On top of the money that goes in to social security from migrants that cant withdrawal it. And the taxes we get from them in general

        Well he’ll probably try to kill both Medicare & Social Security so he’ll see it as a net positive…

      Well, buckle up, because it gets even stupider from here on out. This same policy genius thinks Elon Musk is so gooodest at doing bidness like Xitter, that he should be in charge of “cutting waste” in our government, or something.

      I’d even wager that each time he mentions the cost it will be higher than last time. I suspect it will be measured in the billions and will increase 2-4 billion each time he talks about it. By the time it finally begins to get enacted, I’m guessing the estimated total to ship them all out will likely run in the hundreds of billions.

    For anything like debt relief, or any kind of social program, the qons - and the “liberal media” - always ask, immediately, and with pikachu face: “but how are you gonna pay for it?!!!111”

    I hope you remember, people who “felt poor” because of the price of eggs or whatever…there is endless amounts of money to spend on deporting people, but if anyone were to talk about helping YOU, well, to borrow a phrase: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, there is no money for something like that, no sir!

    Also, you can BET that some of donvict’s friends will be making money from this “plan”:

    Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand Lord, don’t they help themselves, y’all But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
