Oh. My. God! I don’t know what is funnier. The fact that the establishment is choking on the loss of control of the “faithful” or the left’s aghast at common sense and non-politically correct speech spewing from Donald Trump. No one can say that this political cycle hasn’t been entertaining.
Since The Donald released his immigration plan, new fuel for the pundit windbags has been fired up. And they are trying to hang the “Teflon Don” for this one. Good luck with that.
Because part of his plan required deportation of illegals, the left is screaming bloody murder and suggesting Trump wants to break up families. Further, they take shots at conservatives who applaud the plan. For instance:
Crooks And Liars published: Trump Releases Batsh*t Xenophobic Immigration Policy
Donald Trump decided to back up his racist rhetoric about Mexicans with an actual policy plan he released this weekend, and yes, it’s every bit as bad as one would expect. The wingnuts love it though.
Chuck Todd asked him about it on this Sunday’s Meet the Press and here’s how he responded: Donald Trump Promises To Deport Parents Of U.S. Citizens, Also Keep Families Together:
And bashed tweets from Ann Coulter praising Trumps Plan…
NBC NEWS: Donand Trump’s Deportation Plan Would Cost $100-$200 Billion.
Now that Donald Trump has called to deport all of the undocumented immigrants living in the United States, here’s the natural follow-up question: How much would that cost?
The answer: More than $100 billion — if not $200 billion.
Back in 2011, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deputy director Kumar Kibble said it costs $12,500 to deport an individual undocumented immigrant.
So when you multiply that cost for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S., that comes to $137.5 billion.
The article fails to consider how much would the nation save in medical/education/entitlement programs if there were 12 million fewer illegals.
Salon suggests Trumps plan would create a police state. Donald Trumps nativist police state: What “we have to keep families together” really means.
Yes, this is crazy, and it would create something like a police state, for a time anyway. Trump’s hastily released immigration plan, heavily influenced by nativist hardliner Sen. Jeff Sessions, calls for tripling ICE officers, from the current 5,000 to 15,000, and mandating that they work closely with local police departments to identify and round up undocumented individuals and their families. He’ll immediately rescind President Obama’s executive orders deferring action on young people who came to the country with their parents when they were small – the DREAMers — as well as the parents of DREAMers and of children who were born here.” They all “have to go,” Trump says.
Naturally he won’t even take a stab at the cost of his nativist police state. Let’s leave aside his fantasy of a border wall, which he insists he’ll make Mexico pay for. The Center for American Progress estimates it would cost $200 billion over five years to find, detain, legally process and transport 11 million undocumented immigrants. Add in their 4 million children who were born here, and the cost jumps by at least a third.
So yes, Trump’s plan is nonsense and should disqualify him from serious consideration as a presidential candidate. But of course, it won’t. The working class white voters who are a cornerstone of his base want relief from the downward wage pressure and erosion of the manufacturing sector that’s been crushing them since the 1970s. They don’t understand that guys like Trump are responsible for their plight, not their champions, and I despair of what it will take to convince them.
So sit back and make sure you have a fresh supply of pop corn because the fireworks are just beginning.
