“Mass Deportation Now!” declared the signs at the Republican National Convention, giving a full embrace to Donald Trump’s pledge to expel millions of migrants in the largest deportation program in American history.
Some Republicans aren’t quite ready for that.
Lauren B. Peña, a Republican activist from Texas, said that hearing Trump’s calls for mass deportations, as well as terms like “illegals” and “invasion” thrown around at the convention, made her feel uncomfortable. Like some Republicans in Congress who have advanced balanced approaches to immigration, she hopes Trump is just blustering.
“He’s not meaning to go and deport every family that crosses the border, he means deport the criminals and the sex offenders,” Peña said.
What if you’re only supporting the war for the profit it generates? I don’t think they’re sending any of the C-suite at Raytheon or Northrop Grumman are at any risk of being called up.
Did I stutter?
It’s a cute little retort, but we all know the 50 old line manager at Lockheed Martin bomb making factory isn’t getting within a thousand miles of an actual combat zone.
And Trump won’t get deported. What’s your point? I stated how it should be and not how it is.
