- Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- These vast new prison camps would allow for the detention of 80,000 more migrants, more than doubling Trump/Miller's capacity for deportations.

- Keep hearing “Why don’t they just become citizens?” You need to pass a test, pay lots of money, and go on a 10-year+ waiting list… What are they doing in the meantime?
- Unfortunately the media is controlled top to bottom by people who need to be educated on immigration: careerists and the rich owners. There’s a reason why there’s no pushback when these douches lie about how the law works.
