      Also for reference, 100 million doesn’t correspond to the number of immigrants, but does correspond to the number of non-white people.

      They’re actually talking about ethnic cleansing.

        Bo French, a Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner…

        …Was all I needed to know this was about race.

        This is like a shitty comic book plot. Fuck these fascists.

      So you’re saying they’d need to do it on an industrial scale? Might need to make large scale gas chambers that will be disguised as gas chambers to lure them in without resistance. Need a cheap gas to do it. Maybe Zyklon B?

    That is solidly, I shit you not, A THIRD OF THE POPULATION.

    Does this moron not realize that this proposition is economic and logistical suicide?

    … you know what, thinking about it, he probably doesn’t.

      “That’s just a fraction of the eleventy billion illegal voters that steal welfare every day.”

      Of course he knows that number is nonsense. He also knows the people he’s speaking to are too stupid to notice or care.

        Why stop there?

        Because that’s when they run out of non-whites.

        Don’t get me wrong; after that they’ll pick another out-group and continue the purge, but they’re not gonna just come out and say that up front.

          In the past, the definition of “white” has gradually expanded to ensure that the majority of the US population remained white. Its definition could in turn be narrowed.

          You really don’t understand the situation if you think that is where they are going. The whites that don’t lick their boots are the ones they want to target the most.

    Deport them where? You’re just going to dump them on someone else’s shores for them to become undocumented immigrants to be shipped back to America? I know we’ve set up camps in other countries but there’s several orders of magnitude of difference there. The logistics alone of moving a third of the US is insane and that’s if they wanted to participate. Of course they don’t have any long term plans

      The US has agreements with a number of third countries to take on non-citizen deportations. According to the article in the link, these include Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and South Sudan.

      It’s fairly likely that the US applies enough economic pressure until these countries have little choice but to do it. I recall they were trying to force Bahamas and Grenada into it last year, but as far as I’m aware they have managed to maintain their rejection

        This, exactly. A nice tidy way of keeping their hands clean. Deport them to a country with prisons where detainee deaths are common, or their government can be subtly coerced into killing the people our government sends there. When people demand answers, our government can just throw up its hands and say, “Well, how were we supposed to know they were doing that?”

          Precisely - it’s just like money laundering, except that it’s for abuse.

          Just another way in which the USA’s government functions like the mafia on the global stage

      The railroad commission is actually the state’s oil and gas regulatory agency, and doesn’t have anything to do with railroads anymore. The name confuses people and they like it that way.

      1. Yes. Guess which color skin they want the 100M to be.
      2. Yes. Again, guess which colors the skin of the people they worry are having too few/to many children.

      Basically, 1/3 of the country wants to murder another 1/3 while the final 1/3 watches on as an undecided.

They’re going to be able to control the United States.”
