Won't happen. The US military, whatever their faults, are still far too honorable to obey illegal orders and defy the constitution they swore an oath to. So each state will have to rely on their own forces, such as National Guard, to enforce round-ups and deportations. Anyone remember Kent State? Also, each state will have to pay for them. And that will put a massive crimp on a lot of ideas in poorer red states.
I'd like to believe that, but every poll I've ever seen indicates that the military, both active and retired, support Trump by a wide margin. I've previously asked Dudalb for evidence that the military would balk at orders from the Trump administration to participate in such a thing, and I'm still waiting. It would likely be a logistical nightmare, but that wouldn't stop Trump in the least. Remember, this is the scenario that the apricot anus wishes to implement on Day 1. He is telling you what he wants to do and if we've learned anything the last ten years, it is that we should believe him.
They do. But their honor seems to come before that. So they will defy Trump, even if they vote for him.
On what evidence do you base this confidence?
No military coups in some time...
Trump's favorites have suggested cutting the VA for "efficiency". Perhaps there will be more pragmatic reasons for the military to defy the overreaches of the king.
That's kinda weak. Trump has already sold the idea of a Biden Migrant Invasion; I'm confident that this roundup will be seen by his cultists, both in the military and not, as legitimate response to a existential threat to the U.S. And they will sell it to the non-cultist Trump voters. We will see in very short order, and I sincerely hope that I am wrong and you are correct.
You know, these cuts have been suggested before, and that didn't seem to budge the needle much. I disagree with Kay; a person isn't smart, but they sure get dumber in groups.
And...
Interestingly, this could have amusing ramifications:
So would you like to emigrate to another, better country completely at the US taxpayers' expense? Simple! Just get a friend to tell the New Gestapo that you are an illegal from <insert country of your choice here>, present yourself for deportation, don't fight it in court, and then be sent free of charge to your new home country! Try to lose your passport on the way. Then they can't send you back to Amerikkka.
See above. Being deported might actually be a better outcome for reasonable US citizens. Leave the cesspit; go to a better home; make the world better.
What makes you think civilized countries would want them?
The ones that the MAGAnuts would want to deport are probably going to be the best of the USA. Because they are the most threatening to the MAGAnuts.What makes you think civilized countries would want them?

I suspect that a passport-less emigré landing in a foreign country might not be welcomed as readily as one might like, though it might depend some on how portable your assets are too. We have no guarantee anyone would want us. And if you're a naturalized refugee, you might not have a choice, and be sent back to the country you fled. Not a cozy prospect at all for some at least.
I'd take that bet. He IS that kind of a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ turd.
It's not actually voluntarily "fleeing" that I'm talking about. The USA is forcibly deporting you. So you will be persona non grata in the USA anyway once the New Gestapo send you wherever it is you are sent. So if you do plan to sit out the next four years (or more) but think you can't afford to make the move, why not get the US government to give you a hand by making them pay for your transport plus a high assurance of staying where you are sent. It's your tax money too.
And next we will hear how they are too honorable to torture detainees despite all the evidence to the contrary. Got any real evidence for this claim?
What evidence would you accept?
