I believe that Trump will primarily target for deportation those undocumented workers in blue states such as California. He will stage a few large and highly publicized "round-ups" of such workers in blue states while doing much less in red states. The MAGAts will have the impression that Trump is doing these mass round-ups and deportations and will not notice that he is strategically choosing where to focus the efforts. Thus Trump will get credit for deportations while doing little harm to the red state industries that employee undocumented immigrants.

They have nobody to report it to, and no help to even get home.

(52,242 posts)…is a lot of people not eligible to be deported because they’re US citizens will be grabbed and deported because they accidentally left their wallets home that morning. It’ll pretty much be the scenario in Cheech Martin’s “Born in East LA,” except for real this time.
“Rudolfo Robles…fifty years old…deported nine times…let’s make that ten.”

There aren't going to be any large roundups. Define large? Some incidents that might fit that category occurred during his first term. And that's my prediction, 2017 to 2020 repeat. It's a whole lot of to do about little, though magat trash won't see it that way and neither will the doom and gloomers here. They'll actually think he's deporting all of them. Nope. Ain't gonna happen, even in blue states.
For the umpteenth time, he's a bullshit artist. Everyone has none at least one in their life. 90% of what they spew is for effect and / or a means of negotiation. It's bluster.

Even the Nazis weren't able to kill that fast, (much less simply deport people),
and they were not burdened by any requirements of law---
I was watching a documentary today on 'Story Television', a digital sub-channel
which uses a lot of programming which originated on 'The History Channel' (back when they aired history),
which made convincing arguments that the Nazi's "final solution to the Jewish problem"
is what led directly to their defeat in World War II--
They had to use up so many resources to murder the number of Jews that they did,
especially during 1942-1943, which might have gone towards the war effort,
that they ensured their own defeat by the greater resources of the Allies.
