Trump's MAGA allies have a new plan for mass deportations. It could splinter the coalition.

(Politico) A group of President Donald Trump’s MAGA allies released a playbook Wednesday to fulfill the largest deportation push in U.S. history. It could very well split Trump’s coalition.

The plan from the Mass Deportation Coalition — an organization led by some prominent Trumpworld veterans, immigration restrictionist groups and hawkish policy experts — rests on one crucial pillar: A major immigration enforcement crackdown on workplaces, modeling the strategy that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration used to deliver the nation’s largest deportation initiative in history.

“There is no chance for a mass deportation program if worksite enforcement is not the centerpiece,” the playbook, shared first with POLITICO, reads. “Enforcement at scale means focusing on physical areas where illegal aliens are concentrated: worksites.”

That strategy almost certainly promises to alienate some of the Trump administration’s allies in the agriculture, construction and hospitality industries, which all rely heavily on undocumented labor. Farm groups in particular hold significant sway in Trump’s Washington and have already shown prowess in steering the administration away from worksite enforcement when those efforts disrupted the industry.

And are your low info white boy magats going to jump at the chance to fill these hard, labor intense, low wage job slots this nonsense will open up? No? How about you dipshits proposing this? You gonna fill those jobs? Didn't think so.
Somebody needs to slap these idgits upside the head, and send them to work for several months at these work sites. Maybe then their two brain cells will rub together and start working, and they will get a dim understanding of what these honest folk really do.

This whole thing is motivated by sheer racism.

No one ever seems to stop and note that this is a job that doesn’t need doing.

We need these immigrants—legal or not.

Our economy will collapse if these idiots are successful.

And won’t that be fun?
