The Trump administration made a Twitter post repeating far right supremacist calls for deporting 100 million Americans. Statistically this would also mean deporting a large number of citizens. This is a dangerous idea to repeat in official channels. Apart from the humanitarian impact and potential unconstitutionality of such actions, it will also mean less access to valuable talent for the tech industry.
This is the Department of Homeland Security, a United States federal government department, publicly advocating for deporting nearly a third of the entire population of the country. Only around 7% of the population are non-citizens. That means they would need to deport around 75 million American citizens. Let that sink in.
Ironically the nearest I've come to the vibe in the picture - peace, beach palm trees has been in less developed countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Less American cars but you can't have everything.
I'm not sure you call those third world anymore? The standard of living in the better parts of those is not far off the west. Apparently Singapore was 'third world' and now has longer life expectancy, more income at ppp, lower crime etc. than the US.
