Trump doubles down on deportation

I wil vote against Trump as mass deportation is simply an inhumane answer to a an easily fixed dysfunctional immigration system. Our system worked just fine until 2001. The law has no line or waiting list for the spouses of US citizens or parents of adult US citizen children, but the penalty for illegal entry is return and forced 10-year-exile. Before 2001 that departure and exile were waivable with a $1000.

Fortunately even if Trump wins, he can't unilaterally change the immigration law and there are enough democrats in the senate to obstruct any change he tries, meaning that even undocumented aliens have the right to seek relief from deportation in immigration court, and even at current backlog levels it is relatively easy to tie up a case in immigration court for longer than four years, which is exactly how long a Trump administration would last.

Trump winning and instituting his deportation plan would make me very wealthy, very quickly, but my own self-interest is not the basis of my vote, and so I will vote against (and actively advocate against) Trump, as I've been doing since this race began.

Until we secure our borders against illegal trespass and invasion, deportation will be like bailing out a sinking boat with a teacup as water pours in by the gallons
