    He’s not speeding up deportations, but detainment. He’s already realized that Guantanamo isn’t going to work, and flew those people back to the mainland. The new plan is creating detainment centers on military bases. We’ll have mineral refining internment camps before you know it.

      Tinfoil hat time: is he manufacturing an economic crisis to return slavery? SCOTUS has already said prisoners don’t have to be paid for work performed

        I wouldn’t put it past him. We have massive potash reserves, but no stockpiles. Someone’s got to dig it up and refine it.

          This isn’t the 1940’s. Mines are highly mechanized. This would be moronic, and achieve a much lower output than employing skilled workers.

    Sounds to me like he’s planning a war or two…

    Remember during the election, when the folks in Texas kept describing migrants as “military-age men”? He’s gonna claim that the migrants are an invading army and he needs the military to root them out.

      What regime would be stupid enough to use military resources to imprison a chunk of the domestic population while also having a giant war?

      Oh, right, that kind.

      How dare you insult those Patriots! We have to accept the outsized gun violence and school shootings that don’t happen in other countries because the heroes are going to battle all US armies with small arms like pistols, rifles, and shotguns! I’m sure they’ll be effective against tanks, bombs, satellite imagery, worldwide intelligence networks, missiles, machine guns, drones, nuclear warheads…
