Hmmmm. I can think of a group in history that concocted a plan to deport millions of people before realizing it wasn’t feasible. Does anyone want to tell me what came next?

Obama never tried to deport people on that scale. Although the conditions many of those people were held in weren’t exactly a model for a good system

That’s not even nearly 2M people/year or 20M total

Yeah if you read the full sentence instead of monkey brain highlighting the one part that makes you feel correct, nothing Obama did was infeasible because he actually did it. What Trump and his supporters are proposing (removing 20M people in 4 years) is absolutely infeasible

Like, Obama’s plan (agree with it or not) was “I’m just gonna deport as many people as I can,” not “we need to deport every single person we can.” There’s an obvious difference in the kinds of means that could be used to justify those ends
