While many are scared, some dismiss the dangers of mass deportations under Donald Trump.

Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has reignited fears among undocumented migrants with promises of “mass deportations” and migrant communities are bracing for uncertainty and a new wave of nativism.

His administration plans to target those deemed public safety or national security threats, potentially reinstating workplace raids and using military resources.

Advocates warn that “collateral arrests” could sweep up migrants without criminal records.

Many, like “Dreamers” protected under DACA, fear family separations, while others, such as Carlos in NYC, hope Trump’s economic policies might benefit them.

“A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy. That would be very good for us too,” said Carlos, an undocumented Mexican who lives in New York City.

      Lol

      I say blame it on the DNC and Harris herself.

      But sure why not. More accurate than blaming latino and or black or Muslim citizens

          Is that Biden’s fault or the DNC? Is he de facto leader of the DNC as president.

          Even a fake primary would have been better than what they did.

          I was hoping to see the Hippy and Cornell West debate Biden. Would have been great.

          Edit: Maryanne Williamson or something her name the hippy I mean
