The former president reportedly plans on utilizing the military to enforce immigration policies and erecting deportation camps along the border.
Donald Trump isn’t only looking to reinstate the extreme, anti-immigration policies of his first term if he wins in November; he is seeking to take things a step further. “We have to do something about it,” Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in a town hall Tuesday, repeating his ugly 2015 claim that other countries are “not sending their finest” to the United States. “We have the worst border in the history of the world.”
Claiming that countries are “emptying out their prisons” into the U.S., Trump reiterated his plans to carry out mass deportations, which he has promised on the campaign trail would be the “largest” in American history. Of course, he was vague on the details, telling Ingraham that he would “get the bad ones out first,” which he’d find using “local police.”
Nevertheless, the remarks provided yet another glimpse into the radical border policies he’d pursue in a second term—which, as the Washington Post reported Wednesday, could include mobilizing the military for immigration enforcement and the establishment of deportation camps along the border. “Americans can expect that immediately upon President Trump’s return to the Oval Office, he will restore all of his prior policies, implement brand new crackdowns that will send shock waves to all the world’s criminal smugglers, and marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation in American history,” campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the outlet. Undocumented immigrants “should not get comfortable,” she added, “because very soon they will be going home.”
Dude. If you give a guy a missile and he drops it on civilians, then asks for more missiles…… and then you give him more missiles.
You are the one committing genocide.
Biden and the United States is engaged in genocide. If you believe otherwise you are not living in reality.
The United States is engaged in multiple genocides.
And yet, when I’ve brought up this one, a genocide entirely perpetrated by Republicans, three times over the past two days, it’s either been ignored or denied.

I would argue instead that while genocide is happening in the US, that doesn’t mean it is directly enacted by the US government, ie the White House.
Meanwhile, under Trump, ICE were actively perfoming involuntary hysterectomies on immigrant detainees - a textbook form of genocide by a Federal agency directed by the White House.
The US is quircky in that there are many layers of government. Certain layers are indeed genocidal, but they’re not in charge of the entire country. The US government is in charge of the country, State governments are a lower authority.
While I do have a few friends who are trans, I don’t know enough about the issue to comment very much.
I do know the republicans are bigoted towards trans, same with many religious groups, and that trans are targets of crime way more often than other groups….
