He TACOed on his TACO.

It’s Tacos all the way down.

TACO is the new flip-flop.

Though here he’s saying the focus is on Democratic-run cities.

So let’s get this straight - they’re going to focus on blue cities, where people are more chill about immigration, and do less in red states, where they are apoplectic about it.

Ok.

I wonder if we’re going to see Lutnik/Bessent style ping pong with Miller and the Ag Secretary. Where policy swings back and forth twice a week based on who talked to him last.

So I guess the rational thing for an illegal in NYC would be to move to central PA.

Like @Mik's other thread title, this is sad.

Not at all. In general, you are going to see the more criminal element of the illegals living in urban centers. More people, easier to hide, and easier to score. MS13 13 and TdA aren’t generally living in a farming community of 5800 in Oklahoma, they’re living in the he DMV, a metro region with 6M people, and not much agri-business, but plenty of food packaging and processing business, where many shenanigans occur.

Stipulating all that, why would it not be the rational thing to do for an illegal in NYC to move to central PA? You can wash dishes anywhere.

Some republican representatives think the deportations might be going to far, or at least targeting the wrong people.

As Jesse Singal said, there’s a lot of support for closing the border and deporting criminals but most people have little stomach for seeing the abuelita down the street get dragged into a van.

This is why you have raids, even if you are arresting Abuela. There are so many cockroaches crawling around in that underworld that you have to just spray it all. Sorry.

This seems right to me.
