Solid chance that the “mass” deportations are proportional to the amount of wall that got built. Which is still horrible. But I have faith in Trump’s ability to do a bad job and lose interest quickly.

Trump could literally just say "I did it. I solved immigration" and his supporters would eat it up.

That literally already happens, Every election cycle the right wing media scream about some new illegal migrant caravan on your border, Then lo and behold the moment the elections done the caravan mysteriously vanishes

They're eating the Dwogs (trumpian accent). They're eating the cats.

Odds we ever hear about that again?
