Mass Deportations

What do I think about the prospect of mass deportations? 

I don't think they're going to happen any more than a border wall got built. Despite all the bruhaha it sounds like what Trumps intends to do is (a) declare a national emergency, (b) divert funds from the defense budget which the national emergency allows him to do and (c) deploy troops to patrol the southern border and possible construct facilities to house the illegals that they're going to catch.

After a couple of months of this Trump will deport those caught trying to cross the border, declare victory and move on. I'd be very surprised if there is any significant effort to round up illegals already in the country for deportation except in very specific cases such as some reported gangs.

The bottom line is that deporting large numbers of illegals is impractical, would probably lead to a recession and just isn't worth the money.

Of course I could be wrong but I suppose that we shall see what we shall see.
