Summary

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is reportedly planning to end two Biden-era immigration programs, potentially making hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the U.S. legally eligible for deportation.

These programs—CBP One and the CHNV parole program—allowed over 1.3 million migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. legally.

Trump’s initial deportation focus is expected to include individuals deemed national security risks, such as Chinese nationals of military age, as well as those with criminal convictions.

Legal challenges are anticipated, similar to those seen during Trump’s first term.

I agree, we should deport anyone who wasn't already here by 1350. Make America native again.

/s for the dense

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago

Based honestly, let's make it happen

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

But like… not /s.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago

I would suggest anyone who can buy a chest freezer and stock up on groceries now

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 days ago

and buy your electronics now while its still cheaper.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a new four-bay RAID and I’m gonna do that tomorrow

[-] errer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

I mean…unless your chest freezer is the size of your garage, its contents ain’t gonna feed you and your family for 4 years

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

And what do you think will happen in four years?

Current freshmen will graduate?

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's amazing that Latinos voted for this and they're about to get to the find out part so very soon.

Also going to be so amusing in racist America finding out just like Arizona and Georgia did and promptly forgot.

Seriously going to enjoy the schadenfreude and will actually get to sit my minority ass down outside a field and watch white Americans struggle to do the jobs they said they actually want, which they didn't and couldn't handle it the first go around.

[-] ModestMeme@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago

Trump’s cornerstone campaign promise… Millions of you let him win by not voting or voting third party. Don’t blame Trump for this. For once he wasn’t lying. Ooh and he has Congress to back him up, too! Checks and balances? Nope.
You can fight back by yelling on the internet or maybe a little protest march (until that’s disallowed). But for fuck’s sake don’t vote until the electoral college is gone and Gaza is free and you have the perfect candidate!

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Bears may shit in the woods.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Weren't many folks they're referring to also granted legal immigration status under Trump's term, too?

[-] SquishyPandaDev@yiffit.net 28 points 5 days ago

A lot of people don't seem to understand that 2024 Trump is not 2016 Trump. In 2016 a lot of Republicans and cabinet members opposed him. Now Trump has the Republicans fully under his control, willing to do whatever he wants.

[+] EABOD25@lemm.ee -25 points 5 days ago

He cannot unless they're convicted criminals. This is propaganda

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

He can't [legally] deport US citizens either, but he has promised to do so. Who's going to stop him? Congress? The courts? Republicans will control both.

[+] EABOD25@lemm.ee -11 points 5 days ago

The citizens. It's up to us to say when enough is enough. We give him power, and when we don't listen, then he loses power. Only a little above 50% is claiming to be in his court rn, and that can shift any second. Plus it's an American circumstance to take and keep immigrants regardless of what politicians say the state of the border is. It's all a farce and the US has never stopped taking immigrants

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

The citizens. It's up to us to say when enough is enough. We give him power, and when we don't listen, then he loses power.

The same citizens who couldn't take few hours out of their day to stop this transfer of power in the first place, via a system specifically meant for it?

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee -4 points 4 days ago

The system itself is working exactly as it's supposed to and that's the problem. It didn't matter about those people that you are referring to not voting. They stopped the count when Trump got the electoral votes. Meaning the popular vote wouldn't have made a difference

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 12 points 4 days ago

The citizens elected him mate

[+] EABOD25@lemm.ee -11 points 4 days ago

No. The electoral college did. They stopped counting the popular vote when he got enough electoral votes

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago

If you're gonna say stupid shit don't say the stupid shit that's so blatantly untrue

[+] EABOD25@lemm.ee -6 points 4 days ago

They announced him as the winner before they even finished counting the popular vote. It's not stupid shit at all. Look back at the 2016 election. Trump won the electoral votes there as well, while Hillary won the popular vote. And Hillary did not get the presidency.

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

They announced him as the winner before they even finished counting the popular vote

Yeah, because they knew how many electoral votes each candidate got, it's how that system works. That doesn't mean they just stop counting the popular vote

Look back at the 2016 election. Trump won the electoral votes there as well, while Hillary won the popular vote. And Hillary did not get the presidency.

Do they stop counting when a winner is announced or not, you're inconsistent here

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They didn't stop the count, but it stopped counting. That's my point. And that the popular vote doesn't matter while electoral votes are a thing

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

"the popular vote stopped mattering" is a significantly less shitty wording of your already poor point

The people elected him because people still voted for him. If nobody voted for him then the electoral votes woulda gone elsewhere

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee 0 points 4 days ago

So then, what was the situation in 2016? What I'm getting at is regardless of which way the popular vote swings, the electoral college can swing the other way and that is a victory for whoever the EC votes for despite the popular vote. So the popular vote is pointless while electoral votes are a thing

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Are you planning on heading to the border to stop them?

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee -4 points 4 days ago

I think you're misunderstanding my position. I'm for open borders

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Lmao okay then head your ass down to the border and open it why don't you. If it's so simple. "We the people" should be doing it so go on, you start since you're so sure we can stop the deportations.

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee -1 points 4 days ago

Ok. You're just arguing to argue. I'm not playing your game

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

He cannot unless they’re convicted criminals.

Until the Republican swept house, senate and SCOTUS just unilaterally decide to change the law and allow deporting any "enemies of the state". Who's going to object lol?

Nothing in American law statue is concrete now that they hold every single key.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

My man, you have lost the fucking plot.
