DHS dreams of deporting 100 million people from the USA - which would be at least 50 million born in it

'Absolutely Insane': Trump Admin On Blast After Bonkers Homeland Security Message

The agency posted an image of a vintage car on a beach with “America After 100 Million Deportations” written across it.

“The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world,” the agency added as it shared the image, which is a detail of the painting “Impender Beach,” by Japanese pop artist Hiroshi Nagai.

However, deporting 100 million people would mean far more than the undocumented. The Pew Research Center said there were 14 million undocumented migrants in the country in 2023, along with nearly 38 million who have legal status, including naturalized citizens.

That’s a total of roughly 52 million foreign-born residents, still 48 million short of the number in the DHS social media post.

White Americans overall (non-Hispanic Whites together with White Hispanics, along with many of those identified as "some other race" who are reclassified as White for Census Bureau projections, as this category is not recognized by the Office of Management and Budget[74][75]) are projected to continue as the majority, at 72.6% (or 264 million out of 364 million) in 2060, from currently 75.5%.

........happen to job openings (none), real estate values (plummeting), housing shortage (disappears - plenty of available rentals), the price of eggs (might go down briefly until they slaughtered all those chickens), price of chicken (25 cents a pond - see previous), and our exports. Do these people think at all?
