Trump’s sweeping deportation threat is unworkable and aimed at ‘rabid’ Republicans, says Newt Gingrich

Stephen Miller told Fox News last month that Trump would issue a series of executive orders on the first day to " begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Between Gingrich and Musk and Ramaswamy it sure seems like Miller's assurance is meeting a lot of pushback. January 21 should be very interesting.

If Trump does not deliver on his election promises to those of us who have been there for him since he descended the elevator in 2015, we will stay home in 2026.

Do what you said you would do, and don't start introducing exceptions.

My next door neighbors are probably illegals. I wonder if they are worried?

Nice enough people but I wish they’d go back to Mexico.

Shut up Newt!

People think Trump doesn’t know that republicans are his worst enemies. Thats not correct.

It was Newt who was cozying up to Nancy on the sofa

Not DJ Trump. Not Stephen Miller

I remember when Nute actively knee-capped TEA Party candidates on behalf of his pet RINOs.

FUNG.

Probably easier to massively enforce E-verify and require able-bodied recipients of federal welfare dollars to work. Then offer $5,000 and free transportation home to anyone who wants to leave.

Go sit on your couch with nazi pelosi, you fat f###

[HYPOCRACY]

Cut off the money and freebies. Arrest employers. Tax remittances to Central and Siuth America and China at 100%. They’ll leave.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just turn off their EBT cards and cut off all their freebies.

They’ll know what to do.

“Probably easier to massively enforce E-verify and require able-bodied recipients of federal welfare dollars to work. Then offer $5,000 and free transportation home to anyone who wants to leave.”

Easier? That sounds more complicated than mass deportations.

[BenLurkin]

That’s rabid deplorable garbage to you, Newtster.

My expectation is that Trump may manage 50% of all the people waved through between 2021 and 2024. And these will be almost all single men.

The first will be men under arrest/detention, followed by people with criminal charges. If THAT works, against what may become fanatical legal/political opposition, in the US and “receiving countries”, then other single men.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Trump is going to implement Ike’s Operation Wetback except it’ll be on a grand scale. Many will self deported like they did in the 50s.

[ryderann]

Doesn’t sound like Newt’s been down to MaraLago...or will any time soon.

The other day, Gingrich was praising Paul Ryan’s Speakership, but, I won’t say all of his opinions are wrong, but that one and this one sure are!
