MODERATORS
People were infuriated by children being separated from their families and put in cages, but it was all happening "elsewhere," so there was a disconnect. Militarized mass deportation will be very different. Trigger-happy feds targeting families and dragging them out of their homes en masse. Shootings, violence, and the sheer terror of it will all be happening in every community and not just at some distant border.
Even some of the "cruelty is the point" crowd are going to have misgivings when they see this policy in action.
The camps are still open, the wall is still being built, and the current administration has deported more people than the previous. The dems in congress keep trying to pass a bill to give the GOP everything they want around border policy in exchange for more funding toward our proxy wars in Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
At some point I hope people realize that this trolley isn't slowing down.
Dems: If we speed up the trolley people will suffer for less time while it's running them over! They won't have to agonize as long while the trolley approaches to snuff out their life! Progress!
GOP: Surely more people on the track means more profit! Can we start stacking them up to fit more?
Centerist: Can we make it go faster and have more people?
I just don't see this happening at all. Scouring neighborhoods to find illegal immigrants like this sounds horribly inefficient and dangerous (not to mention awkward and shameful for the people who have to do it?) Building a giant wall across the border sounds more realistic than this.
The Nazis were very efficient. And a network of snitch neighbours helps.
A cop experiencing shame? Surely you jest.
They're not counting on the libs who will shoot back. Not like I'm one of those people! Heaven forfend.
They were?

Let me know if you need more quotes from prominent Christian leaders endorsing children in cages.
