The GOP is telling us exactly what their priority is, using deadly white nationalist rhetoric about a "migrant invasion" & to crate a show-me-your-papers force to round up millions, deporting Dreamers and ripping apart American families with mass family separation. This is their priority.

Trump wouldn't answer who he'll deport at the debate. Seems important given how this is a top priority. Someone needs to get the details: "A re-elected Trump would quickly set up vast camps and deport millions of people in the U.S. illegally" www.axios.com/2024/07/02/t...

Behind the Curtain: Trump's imperial presidency in waitingwww.axios.com Trump would come to office with a Cabinet and staff pre-vetted for loyalty, and a fully compliant Republican coalition in Congress — devoid of critics in positions of real power.

"Trump’s unsparing mass-deportation plan is the single most consequential immigration topic of this election, and his refusal to engage on the subject and its potential consequences for every single American is a telling admission of its unpopularity." @joesudbay.bsky.social & @yunaoh08.bsky.social

Trump wouldn't answer last night. Every Republican should be asked: Do you support Trump's plan to deport every undocumented immigrant in America, including those who have jobs, including those whose spouses are citizens, and including those who have lived here for decades? Wrote this last week👇

It’s heads I win tails you lose. That’s it. That’s Trump’s electoral strategy and his fallback plan and his philosophy. Asking him about “accepting” a loss of his is virtually a non-question.

Ok just to be clear obviously if the current polling holds Trump has a good shot at winning outright, but re: his debate bullshit tonight about “accepting” or not if he loses in Nov., that’s not a game he’s playing! This is the only game Trump is playing: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.

Part of the reason the debate felt awful was they didn’t cut the mics and they didn’t push back on *anything.* Biden probably would have benefited from pushback so he could generate answers from the hip; Trump would have collapsed.

Notice how Trump keeps coming back to his nativist attacks throughout the debate but dodged the question about his signature policy of mass deportation, which would target Dreamers and separate American families rounding up millions into detention camps.

CNN asked a very important question @ the debates if Trump supported mass deportation of spouses, working immigrants that are friends & families. Clearly Trump couldn’t answer & pivoted this “policy” is a no brainer voter losing rhetoric. 🤢🤮 Could’ve been Trump achilles heel… #Debate2024

In his first response, Trump pushed the nativist lie about jobs that he is pushing at his rallies, indicative of his campaign, no real plans to improve the lives of working people, just falsely blaming immigrants.

Unfortunately, Tapper failed to follow up on his important question about mass deportation, Trump failed to answer. And Biden missed the opportunity to tell the nation that Trump has a mass family separation plan that will use the military and the police to rip American families apart.

Before the Biden-Trump debate, here's a reminder of Project 2025 and what Trump plans to do on immigration in a second term. From ending #DACA and deporting Dreamers to rolling out a "red-state army," these are dystopian policies that he should have to explain tomorrow👇

When convicted felon Donald Trump talks about immigrants as “not human beings” and “animals,” he’s talking about people like my mom. She came to the U.S. more than four decades ago to create a better life for herself. She isn’t “poisoning the blood” of America. She is the American story.

President Biden's age "may be nothing but a number," our critic Jason Farago writes. "But the perception of his age has become desperately entangled with cultural connotations of elderliness, formed over centuries, handed down to us through religion and literature and art."
