    hum, so Greene County taxpayers will have to house these prisoners until their cases are reviewed and decided. Then plans to deport them occur. Then logistics to carry out the plans must be determined.

    looks like US taxpayers are gonna get hit for this stuff, but at least it won’t accrue to the federal budget which will make Donald’s team and their bottom line look good.

    Back to deportations. There is a Venezuelan community in Miami that voted heavily for Trump and local news was interviewing people. They were stunned to lose protective status. They never thought his vow to remove people would ever apply to them. The same story is being echoed across the country who assumed they were never going to be deported and voted for Trump.

    why didn’t voters believe him when he said he was going to be a dictator on day 1 and that mass deportations were going to happen.

    Very little he has done should be surprising. He said he would do this. And Tom Holman, border czar, said he does not care what the judges think. Therefore they sent the planes to El Salvador after being ordered not to. All over the country people are stunned over other incidents. I just can’t understand it

    The prison they are sending the supposed gang members in El Salvador is appalling. It was established to hold over 40,000 prisoners from the El Salvador drug crackdown and is over flowing. No visitors, prisoners are not allowed outside, no recreation, no educational or vocational opportunities, etc. Prisoners are housed in cells that hold 50 or 80 men. Trump supposedly paid El Salvador 6 million to house the deportees. I suspect in the mass round-up of supposed gang members they picked up a few guys like the nice man who works at Rico's Upholstery down the street with no gang ties. I'd not realized such a place even existed until reading about it recently.

    I've not seen much evidence of mass deportations of the numbers that would make a dent in the supposed 10-15 million illegals, but the media publicity seems to focus on deterrence or self-deportation with some high profile instances.

    After seeing those videos, I'd help anyone not get deported. The glee of those fox news people--man, it does make you think there will be a literal hell.

    Yeah, it seems we no longer have a judicial branch of the government. Just a bunch of Trump lackeys with law degrees. I hope people like John Roberts and the Supreme Court can be an effective line of defense, but I'm doubtful.

    the solution to the labor shortage in Florida has been found. Change the child labor laws. One of the articles I read said that since enforcing the Everify laws, many undocumented have left the state and there are 54 workers for every 100 jobs. This is a very unfriendly state these days but everywhere you go there are crews of Spanish speaking dark skinned laborers doing landscaping, cleaning, construction etc.

    one of my grandmothers worked in a mill at 12 years old, as did her 9 year old sister according to census documents. Those were the “good ole days.”
