Mass deportations of innocent immigrants became a campaign strategy by the Donald Trump Nazi regime

Echo opinion letter published in the Los Angeles Times:

Donald Trump's mass deportation plans will ensnare U.S. citizens and tear the nation apart-Huffington Post

To the editor: Wait, what❓ A national emergency to carry out mass deportations❓ (“Trump confirms deportation strategy will include national emergency declaration and military,” Nov. 18)

If that is the case, and if President-elect Trump, if he is a national leader really believed it, he would have supported the conservative plan proposed by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) earlier this year to begin to address that emergency.

But no❗ Trump didn’t want the problem solved. Instead, he wanted to campaign on it.

Why would I believe that he wants to solve the border problem now❓ Getting the military involved — a legally problematic strategy — would just allow him to accrue more dictatorial power.

How much will this cost the taxpayers? And once accomplished, what would be the cost to our economy? Millions of jobs may be left vacant with no one to fill them.

As a preview, we can look to China and Japan. For different reasons, their birthrates do not support the economy they want. 

If what I read is accurate, we are in a similar boat, yet what helps keep us prosperous is immigration, legal and illegal.
