Trump understands this and doesn’t intend on doing it. He’s going to feign an attempt at deportation, there will be an immediate challenge in the courts, and instead of fighting them, he’ll blame liberals for getting in the way. In doing so, he’ll not only avoid criticism for failing to deliver on a BS campaign promise, he’ll actually solidify the support of those who fell for it in the first place.

I think both can be true. Trump is smart enough to not upset the agricultural apple cart, but even if he does it is easy enough to provide TPS and target immigrants involved in other aspects of the economy. I will see deportation will be a huge price tag and definitely not worth it economically. If people are upset now about providing housing to immigrants so they are not homeless and on the streets wait till they see the costs for seats on jets for millions of undocumented immigrants so we can send them to tropical beaches on tax payer dimes just so they arrive right back in the country a few months later.
