Increasingly this seems like a scam intended to re-route my tax dollars into the private prison corporations that donate to the Trump campaign. What purpose other purpose could this possibly serve?
It's also a small step to just detain and deport anyone remotely eligible who criticizes those in power, criticizes those who support those in power, is a family member of one of the prior mentioned parties, or is not in the preferred range of skin tones for those in power. They already deported a few citizens, oops, that's just going to happen when they have deportation quotas to meet, and let that be a warning to the rest of the uppity citizens with the gumption to protest against them.
If the Executive Branch doesn't care about the Constitution and inconvenient laws when directing the law enforcement agencies under its control, Congress doesn't hold the executive to account by either withholding funds or threatening impeachment, and the SCOTUS majority doesn't try to rein in these acts while seeming to lack the ability to enforce its own decisions, the words printed on the Constitution are just useless ink.
Elections have consequences, and we're all paying them. Some paying a lot more than others.
Regardless of the circumstances, if you're not a US citizen I would encourage you to not travel to the US. Even if you _are_ a US citizen you may well be harassed and abused by ICE.

I bet the borders are still open to those who are motivated enough to cross.
