A war against our biggest trading partner. One where many of their nationals, and decedents live legally within our country. One we share a large land boarder with. A country that has voluntarily held migrants that want to enter our country on their side of the boarder. A boarder known to be porous.
This can only go well.
Want to get really cynical? The US is expelling and torturing their slave labor. Immigrants do not receive any federal benefits, yet contribute hugely to the economy. 13,000,000 is the number I’ve heard, and that only covers undocumented immigrants, but they’re going for all of them. Does anyone expect expelling 3-4% of our cheap workforce works out?!
No matter how cold-blooded one’s take, this is fucking stupid.
The plan is to probably round up all US citizens of Mexican descent and put them into concentration camps for extermination.
The US did this to Japanese Americans in WWII except didn’t kill them.
Depending on how this goes, the US might have their own Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Yemen, or (insert a major conflict that has just been a quagmire for anyone involved) right on their border.
