The other thing to consider is voluntary repatriation. If the illegals here believe they will be deported soon, they may pack up their shit and leave on their own to avoid the additional difficulties that would result from deportation.
And as the political landscape makes life more and more inhospitable for them, more of them will flee. Give it another week, and an employer will be busted with a mass of illegals they tried to conceal, or forge docs for, or otherwise force back onto the job because they need cheap labor. And Trump will bring the hammer of god down onto them and make it very clear, you will not just be seeing a slap on the wrist fine for trying to play that game.
And next thing you know, all these plants, factories and shit will be hiring for mysterious positions that opened up, because even worst case, its preferable to operate at a mild loss for a while off legal salaries and workers, and figure out what the fuck you need to do next than to completely shutter the factory.
I expect you'll see a lot of repatriations when the work for them dries up.
As much as I'd love to see Reddit completely die, it not only serves as an endless source of cows to laugh at, but it's also a great containment zone for their insufferable faggotry.
I'm torn, on one hand, a hugbox is fucking retarded and they should be dragged out to be made fools of in open social media, but on the other hand, if they can maintain a financially stable site, they can have it. I'll cheer if reddit rots under its own retardation in a normal bankruptcy, I'll lament if some unassociated external actor kills it.
Once they realize we have no ability to stop flash mob looting, they're going to realize they can do whatever the fuck they want and no one can stop them. That means Flash Mob Rioting. And once they realize the police have jack shit they can do to stop Flash Mob Rioting either, well.
Things become very unpleasant afterwards, very rapidly.
If we explore this to its maximal extent, and look at the current administration, it wouldn't be more than twelve hours before we see a full authorization for lethal force against all armed looters, maybe even a Nat Guard deployment if he really feels spicy. But I don't think its likely, because the gibs do actually flow, so it'd take some serious external gaslighting on social media to try and pressure them, the kind I don't think'll stick now that the major platforms aren't holding water for the dems unconditionally.
I would still assume that they're just near-physically unable to process what's happening. To them this is like being an Aztec when Cortez rolled up.
Absolutely, we frankly haven't seen a US government this active, aggressive, and proactive in my lifetime. They're used to the name of the game being that when they win, the government does nothing, but condones them fucking around with private interests to socially pressure shit, all backroom funded by weird grants and appropriations. When they lose, the government exists solely to stonewall the opposition, and their private interests are weaponized to assassinate the character of anyone who tries to actually achieve anything.
Then in comes Trump, tossing preplanned effective strikes via EO and policy changes into every stonewall avenue, while already being immune to both character and actual assassination. He's done more in a week than many presidents do in a year, and he's done it so casually that he's out playing fucking golf and enjoying it. Its like watching a broken ass Speedrun, Trumps found all the sequence breaks and he's just speedrunning everything he wants and blitzing to total domination before the first levels been flushed from memory.
