    I’ll add, deportation is not the goal. They will be temporarily housed in a location where they will need to work off their deportation cost, which will include a daily fee that is less than they can “earn” per day.

    The end goal is to replace China with local manufacturing at “slave wage”

      That may happen, but it is a mistake to call that the goal. There is no goal. They have no unified grand scheme for which step one is these horrors and step two is new horrors. They’re just super fucking racist. It is that simple. They are bigots, and this makes some neurons fire deep in their tribal-ape brains, so that’s what they’re doing today.

      Stop looking for dry and rational motivations. That’s you, a smart person, inventing reasons another smart person might act like a stupid asshole. The null hypothesis is that they’re some kind of stupid asshole. If there’s any evidence contrary to that explanation, I must have missed it.

        I hear what you’re saying. And, you may be very right. However, regardless of it being a PLAN, they are never going to be able to transport these people to a border. It’s a huge undertaking. Their private prison friends will accommodate the situation, and find it’s a very convenient way to get labor. Whether accidental, or on purpose.

        All I’m saying is, that’s the place we will be, even if it’s not anyone’s plan today.
