Donald Trump wants to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, and he has appointed people willing to do that (Miller, Homan, Noem). That massive deportation will have serious consequences for our economy, inflation, businesses (who need those workers), and tax revenue (since these immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes).
Some on the right have said Trump will just be deporting criminals. They are both wrong and right. They are wrong because Trump wants to deport millions who have committed no crime. They are right because Trump and his cohorts consider all undocumented immigrants to be "illegal" and therefore "criminals".
The idea that undocumented immigrants are criminals is a popular idea in this country, but it is wrong! Most undocumented immigrants are neither illegal nor criminal, because they have violated no federal criminal law.
