“The only way to do that is to hold the gains in the middle that Trump has won over to his side. Mass deportations would be so unpopular he would lose it all and the Republican Party would lose it along with him.”
The majority of Americans want the invaders deported and each invader deported is one or more less votes for the demoncrats.
Trump may want to ramp them up over time to avoid economic disruption but we need to deport millions of them.
I don’t agree that the majority wants them deported. They sure won’t if they see mass deportations and the disruption that causes. In any case Trump isn’t going to do that.
