  Just give the migrants $100k each?
  Where DOGE on all this? I presume rescheduling NASAs priorities to mars, Department of Transports priorities to Teslas, and making sure the FCC is pushing starlink… no doubt

    Be glad they haven’t realized they need to make their bigotry efficient. That desire leads to gas chambers.

  That is 100,000 per immigrant

  So how about this: you offer 50K for immigrants to leave the US with the stipulation they never come back.

  Drives of people would leave to go back home or try Europe or Canada and it would cost you half the money.

  Trump wanted to deport 20 million immigrants, which at this rate will cost him 2 trillion dollars

  With his economy already crashing I can save Cheeto 1 trillion dollars! I’ll just take 1 billion for this advice, it’s a discount offer, gotta take it now while it’s hot!

    It’s the best offer. Best deal one can make. Many people have said it.

    But where is the pain and suffering of the colored people tho ?

    Don’t forget the goal is to create hardship for others.

  See, that money was spent to punish those lesser than us so it’s worth it.
  Or something.

  And slavery continues to profit📈

  Win for slavers, not taxpayers.

  I disavow capitalism, if it wasn’t blatant.

  Well, they all have to spend 2 weeks at a trump hotel on the way, which is, of course, the standard deportation procedure.

  Which is way more than we are sending to the earthquake.

  I can let one live in my basement and pay me $400 a month for the room. I make a profit to help my mortgage, he makes some money to take to Mexico and not bother any middle men in between.

  Mexican and other working migrants don’t actually want to stay here. They often dream of going back with some money to start their life back in their own country. By doing all this tariff crud and jailing of migrants, we’re just gumming up the process. Now it will be more expensive for me to buy things so guess what? I’m just not gonna buy things. Instead I’m going to ask for a raise. Then my boss will either give me a raise or will have to employ someone else who will ask for more money. So the company will ask for more money for their products which will make the consumer not actually buy more…and so on. If we had cheap labor (the migrants who want the jobs nobody else will take for the salary paid) then this would all sort of work. They get paid lower but go home happy because back home the money they made here lasts. We in turn get cheaper products that we can afford. Our customers get the much higher quality products they have grown to expect from us and will pay the higher prices that sustained our economy previously. Economics 101. WTF! If its so clear to a total economics retard such as I, why is it so difficult for our glorious Orange turd to understand?

  It’s hard to quantify these costs. They list 1000 extra “staff” there. All of whom would have salaries if they were elsewhere. 1 month deployment bonuses of $5M? Food and fuel can’t be that much.
