       @intrax I can see a case for that (really, a number of factors); I'm for now focused on the OBBB and if Massie's vote against it was prescient WRT to "mass deportation."The raw numbers of deportations are way down as of late (reporting is weird due to the "shutdown" I think, the latest we've got like early February to early April numbers, per Brave AI ~1,300/day.  And putting an Oklahoman GOPe type in charge of ICE is a very bad sign.On the other hand, the OBBB set a lot of things in motion that take time to play out, especially with Lower Court Superiority Massive Resistance.  More than doubling the number of front line ICE officers ... but only half a thousand could be put right into the line, retired types, the rest need lots of training.Ditto detention center beds, which is where the bulk of the money was directed, some forty billion.  That's still very much in progress, with losses like "Alligator Alcatraz" (rumored to happen soon).Politically ... hard to say.  As illegals keep killing people in America ... but who learns about that?  Trump in any case continues fishing in the Rubicon in this and so many other ways.What's on your mind to label him as such?

       @intrax OK, we just got some new numbers from DHS on its "mass deportation" effort.  Emphasis added because one number supplied is hardly the only self-deportation path and can't be directly compared to other previous estimates.  It's big advantage for the DHS is that it's something they've in theory got a real handle on."Stunning number of illegal migrants who have been deported from US or left voluntarily is revealed by DHS"By Chris Nesi"More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the US or been deported since President Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has revealed."Of those 3 million, 2.2 million have opted to self-deport through a program that allows migrants to turn themselves in via a DHS app in return for a cash stipend and free flight home."Another 900,000 have been deported since Jan. 20, 2025, and as of this month, DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures...."I think the last paragraph's numbers roughly follow the trend since Trump 2.0 got going, which of course took some time to ramp up after he was inaugurated.  So we're maybe seeing about twelve months of progress while new officers and detention facilities are only recently or still coming on line.One very important thing about the DHS app: it's even cheaper in a way than detailed below because it puts no money in the pockets of cartels and their coyotes:"Under the self-deportation program, which is facilitated through the CBP Home app, illegal immigrants who sign up receive a $2,600 stipend and a fully paid-for one-way ticket back to their country of origin.DHS said self-deportations via the app cost $5,100, versus $18,245 for an enforced deportation, representing a cost savings of more than $13,000 for every migrant sent home."(There's an ending sentence which makes no sense in dates and numbers, is about the "CBP One" app which was shut down on Inauguration day and relaunched in March 2025 as "CBP Home," which is what's mentioned above.)https://nypost.com/2026/05/21/us-news/stunning-number-of-illegal-migrants-who-have-been-deported-from-us-or-left-voluntarily-revealed-by-dhs/

       @ThatWouldBeTelling Apologies, I didn't see your initial post before. I wasn't ignoring you. :cirnoBlind: Massie's a faggot because he couldn't understand the basic 3rd grade politics of don't call the president a pedophile and then ask for his voters to support you. On the note of deportations, these numbers are always hard to interpret. As with anything, the numbers can be cooked (remember Obama being "deporter-in-chief" because he reclassified denied entries as deportations). It will ultimately be a vibe check for most people as to the success of border security. Seeing more ICE agents in daily life, having the wall be complete, watching a viral video of a gang member chimping out as he gets deported.Personally, I am excited to see if the fruits of the OBBB and the months of judicial correctionđź’˘ can deliver what the NYTimes is reporting.
