3. So it sounds like the plan is to detain millions of people indefinitely at taxpayer expense.

I doubt that all of these people will be migrants, just as the Republican Southern Strategy from years ago was all about locking up black people so they could not vote for Democrats and then passing laws saying that ex-convicts could not vote. And with a corrupt DOJ and Supreme Court, not to mention a Republican Party that enables Trump’s every heinous act, no evidence of an actual crime will be needed to lick people up. If you are found to have criticized Trump in any way, you are deemed a major criminal. That’s why Trump and Republicans want the private data from voters rolls. They need the names and locations of Democratic voters so more of them can be imprisoned.

We all need the hope that much of this can be reversed by a Democratic administration. I am losing hope that we will ever have fair elections again. We are staring at having Russia’s political process.
