Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It's feels like it's because deep down they all know 'deport' means 'forced work camp' since no country will actually take them.
It's so transparent and yet so few really do pause on this moment and understand the severity of what this means for this kind of talk to be normalized so soon. For a Seig Heil to be normalized so soon and excused as "misunderstood." They have no principles, none, there is no bottom and they find a perverse joy in hurting those they have power over.
People need to be aware of just how deep in this we are.
Yeah. I think the predictable trajectory of "We deported all the Mexicans, oh no who will work the fields for $10/hr, oh wait we have all these prisoners, problem solved, oh wait we don't have enough prisoners" needs to be getting talked about a lot more than it is.
That will only happen when they run out of children for labor. Republicans in Iowa, for instance, want to lower the fine for child labor from an already low $10k down to $2500.
Even children you have to pay. Prisoners are 100% cheaper, and also don't come with any health and safety limitations. You can just send them out in the hot sun without much water, and if they die, you have more.
I don't think it's that complex.
People recognize it isn't a crime, they still aren't so far gone to suggest criminalizing it... But they still don't like it and just want the person removed from their society. Putting them on a plane or bus out of the country and not letting them back in fits the bill.
I really really don't think people think that deported means you go to a concentration camp somewhere. If they did, there's no reason to not just criminalize the behavior. Make them do slave labor in jail in the USA for the benefit of the USA, if that's the case.
It's not like people aren't happy to suggest criminalizing ALL KINDS of behavior anyways. It's not like they're not happy to chant "lock them up!". Why not just go that route in these cases? Why even bother with deportation as word?
Deportation I think is just "banishment" in the brains of everyone who suggests it.
