apnews.com Some immigrants are already leaving the US in 'self-deportations' as Trump's threats loom By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ
TRACY, Calif. (AP) — Michel Bérrios left the United States a few days before the new year, giving President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign for mass deportations a small victory before they even started.
A former leader of a Nicaraguan student uprising, Bérrios had been in the U.S. legally, with nearly a year remaining under President Joe Biden’s unprecedented use of humanitarian parole authority for citizens of certain vulnerable countries.

Advocates and immigration experts who have noticed such departures say Bérrios’ decision to leave the U.S., despite her legal status, shows how uncertainty and threats have led a growing number of people to leave before Trump takes office on Monday.

Growing up, if we were at a Mets game, eighth inning, my father was heading for the Oldsmobile If it were a World Series game 7th game, tied up we’d be out of there listening to the rest on the radio WPIX (WOR?).
Why wait to sit in traffic? No
As a first action here’s a suggestion:
Deport convicted criminals who are illegals, but don’t separate families. Permanently deport their families with them.
Word would get out. Commit a crime, the whole family has to go. After that it polices itself.
GOOD!!!
LOL!!!
Bummer. /s
For what we pay to support them for one month they could live like a king in their own country.
offer them one months support, but deduct it from any ‘aid’ we send to their country.
Great post! Nailed ‘em.
