    I wonder how mass deportations would actually work. To me it sounds like seeking out undocumented or potentially undocumented people and detaining them until they are deported or can prove a legal status. It sounds like rounding people up based on some sort of identifying factor. How many people will get detained who shouldn’t be?

      The issue is that once the government has the infrastructure and networks to round folks up en masse, they can round groups of folk up en masse. That net will never be precise, so plenty of folks will get pulled in who shouldn’t. That net can also be directed where-ever the powers that be decide, which is a real threat to liberty and justice for all.

      And that’s before we get to the part the ethics and issues behind our immigration policy in the US.
