My own suspicion is that Trump/Texas will not deport many immigrants; rather, they will detain most of them as prisoners after “convicting” them of some crime in some kangaroo court proceeding. In that way, Trump/Texas can legally offer up these prisoners as slave labor under the 13th Amendment. All the Texas businesses will rejoice at this “solution,” because they will still have access to their immigrant workforce while not having to pay their workers anything at all.

Yeah, it’s a real possibility. Especially if countries refuse to take them.

Buckingham is an Abbott HACK....of COURSE she is going to leverage her position for whatever will help her advance herself and her ideology. Also, her call to have a professor suspended yielded a big fat nothing, since the prof. never lost her job. Mommy Dearest needed to protect those easily offended Aggie snowflakes.

my FB post to Craig Goldman , which i am pretty sure is more than anyone at the Tarrant County Democratic Party has done.

Dear Congressman Elect Craig Goldman,

After Bannon and Miller and Homan deport all the illegal brown skinned people, Jews are next....

What will u do then?

History tells us that alot of Jews enabled the 3rd Reich in hopes that Hitlers pogroms would bypass them. Didn't work out for them , did it?

When will u speak against MAGA anti-semitism and the deportation cruelty?

Drop by the my house anytime and lets talk about it.....if not how bout some clarifying remarks to the FWST?

Sorry Elon wants to cut the F-35.....don't forget the one's who brung u......

They'll catch a few and reshare that news headline endlessly.

"Republicans and the Trump administration haven’t thought about this." = That pretty much sums up the entire scenario with the incoming administration. They are laser-focused on keeping the MAGAs and the billionaire donors happy. Of course, when their plans turn out to have not so convenient consequences, they will just lie and put out false statistics. The MAGA base will, of course, believe it and the mainstream media will report the MAGA Republican version of events because they are already controlled by the billionaires. I can't even imagine how much further damage they will do to school curriculums in Texas and across the nation. Democracy depends on an educated populace, and white Christian nationalism will pretty much snuff out everything that doesn't conform to their narrow, cruel mindset. Maybe we need to form underground movements...
