Trump and his henchmen, Steve Miller and deportation heavy Tom Homan, have promised mass deportations of those from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
The plan so far is to simply dump them across the border into Mexico. The new Mexican president has said that she will not accept deportees who are not Mexican.
The president of Honduras reminded Trump that her country allows the U.S. to use land WITHOUT CHARGE to host a U.S. strategic military base in Honduras, which is strategically positioned right in the center of Central America. If the U.S. acts in a hostile manner towards Honduras or mistreats Honduran nationals, she has threatened to close the base and evict all American personnel.
And that doesn’t even begin to cover the prospect of responding to Trump’s other big, bullying threat of punitive tariffs against other nations with retaliatory tariffs of their own that would drive up the consumer prices that Trump promised to bring down.
The “Ugly Americans” think they can just bully everyone else in the world. The U.S. may have a lot of weight to throw around, but other countries also have leverage of their own, and it is not wise to expend so much energy trying to turn allies into enemies.
Or is that what Putin is ordering his puppet to do?
We used to be a compassionate country. We understood that people who made long journeys from other countries to escape repression and death would make well-motivated and industrious contributions to our country. Now immigrants, even legal ones, are becoming political fodder for people who have run out of answers.

In my experience, dogs behave more humanely than the MAGA/Christianity/Conservative cults.

Why are people complaining about what Trump is going to do about deportation? We all voted for this, especially Hispanic males!
