Just to point this out, the deportations won't "start." They're ongoing and have been for a while. Contrary to what people who get all of their news from Breitbart say, deportations did happen under Obama. Rather or not they were frequent enough is a debatable topic I suppose, but deportations have always been happening. You just don't notice. Nor will you notice an uptick if and when that happens.

Regardless of how Trump presented it, there aren't going to be mass deportations in any meaningful way. They'll just happen more at best, but not in any unexpected way. He's not going to send in the army to just weed them out. Why? Because that will look like the SS looking for Jews. Even those who support Trump's mass immigration would be concerned if the military was combing through their communities (unless they've been brainwashed to assume all things Trump related should not be criticized; in which case, they're stupid as **** and I don't feel bad saying that since this sight isn't realistically on the approved "real news" sources and they won't see me say it).

No, it's not paranoia. You are just ignorant of the facts. Almost 10 percent of Mexican-born citizens live in the United States and the number of Mexican citizens in the US climbs when we take into account that US-born children born to Mexican parents are considered Mexican citizens by Mexico. The Mexican government actively lobbies for their citizens living in the US and provides resources for those living in the country illegally. In 2016, Mexicans sent back 27 billion dollars to Mexico, making remittances one of the top sources of revenue for the country. Mexicans living in America are a vital part of Mexico's economy and the Mexican government discourages assimilation.

The, ummmm, border crossing from Mexico isn't new. Investigate why marijuana was really criminalized in the 1930s. The answer might surprise some of you.

Also, historically, Mexico has sent its excess unemployment north of the border. That's been the case almost since there was a Mexico.

Trump should deport as many illegals as he can, but it's wrong to just say to hell with you, and not help fix the problem. I think Trump should pull out of the Middle East and Asia, and put our troops where they are needed most, in Mexico and Central America as helping hands in crushing the drug cartels. We need to secure our own hemisphere first and foremost. The rest of the world can take care of themselves. We don't need terrorist oil from the Middle East when we can get all we need from our own neighbors. No Wahabiism going on in Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, or Ecuador.
What is a "deportation force'?

"

Good neighbors do NOT enter your house unless invited and start going through your refrigerator looking for "free" food etc.

You're confusing international politics to what goes on on your block.

Your links day nothing about the Mexican government actively saying to resist all assimilation attempts. That sounds like something you made up, no offense. Children born abroad to US citizens are also nationals of the US too. Just ask Ted Cruz.

Your post is, for lack of a better phrase, fake news

Okay, so you have nothing to contribute to the conversation. Clearly, you haven't read much about this issue, which makes me wonder why you even started this thread.

Either I didn't read too much into it, or you read too much into it. My money is on the latter. A lot of the stuff you talk about is found mostly on blogs, not credible reports
