    I’m pretty sure there was a damaging mass deportation during the Great Depression that deported mostly american citizens to Mexico.

      Correct, in the 1930s, I saw someone post about it recently. I don’t know the motivation then, but the tactic will be used this time to target any group. Maybe even used for “other activities” when deportation becomes logistically difficult.

      I feel like to the people doing the deporting this time, they wouldn’t care. The point is to be damaging.
