    removing 500,000 employees/customers from the economy, sounds like Trump is pushing for recession in more than one way

            If that’s going to happen anyway, might as well happen the first day.

    What say the people who were saying he’s only deporting people who were here illegally? They called us irrational for thinking he’d strip legal immigrants of their status. Next, he’ll try to take citizenship away from citizens.

      That is absolutely next. Watch who the news stirs up controversy against and they will be the next target. Venezuelans are a good example of this because there were several news campaigns to tarnish them last year that are fueling the hate now.

      Afaik they’d have to go through customs for the country they’re trying to enter. I can’t recall ever having to deal with US customs when leaving the US, it’s always been the country I’m traveling to.

      Exactly my thought. For the same reason they’ve been arresting people at the border trying to enter the US instead of just turning them away, I expect they’ll arrest anyone they seem “illegal” trying to exit the country: The prison industrial complex.

      They’re going to get rich off of imprisoning people and forcing them into slave labor and internment camps.

        Well I mean the article says that they’re not even going to wait until the “deadline” for so-called self-deportation before they start arresting people who came in under the immigration program:

        “But DHS said it retains the authority to target migrants who arrived under this program before the 30-day period lapses. Officials say those prioritized for arrest will include migrants who have failed to apply for another immigration benefit like asylum or a green card.”

        So they’ve overnight given themselves the right to arrest people who the day before had a legal right to live in the US. Basically they seem to think the only legal and human rights that exist are those granted by their god-king or Muskolini, and they don’t fear the legacy judicial system.

        Yes, for sure this is going to happen. Just like Leon is profiting of the foreign workers with a working visa, and them being completely dependent on it, this is a large group of people that literally have nowhere to go. They will be exploited to the fullest extend.

        What a time to be alive eh?

    The Department of Homeland Security said it will seek the arrest and deportation of those subject to the policy change if they fail to depart the U.S. in the next 30 days. Officials are urging migrants to use the newly repurposed CBP Home smartphone app to register for self-deportation.

    “Please use our smartphone app to register with the gestapo” isn’t the cyberpunk future I wanted.
