In practice, the Trump deportation plan might look more like a form of amnesty

Here is an interesting scenario outlined by Scott Adams, who has been uncannily accurate in forecasting the Trump phenomenon:

[But what about Trump’s statement that they “have to go.” Trump makes it sound like he is going to physically move illegals to Mexico. But here’s a way to finesse it.

Using the embassy model, the U.S. could pass a law that makes temporary Mexican embassies out of individual rooms in government buildings near every community. That way an illegal can drive to the Post Office (for example), go into the “Mexico room” and be back in Mexico, legally speaking. Then we process that illegal immigrant’s paperwork and make him a citizen … .]

I mean, who knows? As Edward Luce argues in the Financial Times today, ” … not having policies is also Mr Trump’s greatest strength. It makes him nimble.” Perhaps we’ll find out if Trump supporters possess a fine appreciation for political nimbleness.

Adams is just a little *too* drunk on his own recent success...which really wasn't as difficult as he made it: many Freepers picked up on the Trump phenomenon early.

Adams thinks he is a prophet since he must have been one of the few in his ultra-liberal enclave to be paying attention.

Plus, it's his new schtick since Dilbert is getting long in the tooth.

And on time and under budget. Was this from the Onion? Or, Ted Cruz fired Communications Director?

Touch-back amnesty consisting of a trip to the local post office.

The liberals have been in charge for so long now, spewing their filth and dragging us all down- what is left for them to do? They should just go to the senate floor and draw a chalk pentagram on the ground and start summoning demons.

If they have to stand in line at the Post Office...they might as well wait in Mexico. Lol

That is a good analogy. Pentagrams in chalk on the Senate floor does describe what the American people have put up with for a long long time. Obamacare is their demonic spell on America’s future.

I appreciate a government that does not reward law breakers and those who are able bodied to get a free ride.

If you do not contribute to America legally, then GTFO.

What part of “make them leave and then reapply” don’t people understand?

It’s like the KKK bull, the mob bull, etc.

Let’s play “what if” forever.

Trump has said quite clearly what he plans to do, why make sh_t up?

sorry, not ceding little footholds to Mexico.

Go home. apply for a visa. come back. go home. re-stamp your visa. come back. go home. re-stamp your visa; come back. go home. re-stamp your visa and if you’re still interested, apply for permanent residence and come back.

it’s the law Mrs. T had to follow, and millions others.

If someone enters said “mexico room” and starts shooting mexicans... wouldn’t that legally mean that

1. no US law enforcement can enter as that would be “invading mexico”
2. Any crimes committed in said room would be on mexican ground and thus you can’t be arrest by any but the mexican police upon commission, or a warrant from mexico.
3. Upon exiting the room no US law enforcement can arrest you even if they see you killing and raping and otherwise acting like a mexican in the “mexico room”.
4. Further upon number 3 no US law enforcement can investigate you or your actions in said room without approval from the mexican government in turn meaning that even when “reentering” US soil they can’t do jack since they don’t legally even have reasonable suspicion to detain you.

Not to meant that whole “customs” issues of taking thing in and out of the US/mexico. This plans sounds like alot of fun if some US citizens are able to get into these mexico rooms. Also sounds like a great way of rounding them up to be shipped off...

Do your homework.

In his own words Trump says their re-entry will be “significantly expedited”.

Which means NOT back of the line.

Back door amnesty is expensive. I don’t believe he would ever do it. He would upset all his friends on the left.

Dilbert’s a funny cartoonist. And he’s a liberal.
Who cares what he thinks? Just draw Catbert, Scott.

Yeh let’s just make up something and then say that’s what Trump is going to do. Even though Trump says something else.

And he could also tear off his skin and reveal Satan underneath - we are such morons that we seem to have some need to shoot for the worst possible outcome so we always have something to whine and gnash our teeth over - might as well put signs in our yards that say things like "Go Hillary!" and "Go Bernie".
