> Those who disrespect my countries law do not deserve to benefit from my great country.

Why? All laws or only some?

> Well they clearly aren't trying hard enough if they are in the country without a proper visa.

This reads as an uninformed statement.

>This is systematically not true as citizens can not be legally deported.

And yet.

>If someone is not a citizen and are here illegally they should be removed, no matter their intentions. If you are willing to break the law to stay here, I personally don't want them back in the country.

Without even getting into the subject of kids who are brought here.. I just have to say, why? Immigrants are net contributors in the US. Many of these people who are here "illegally" are in a bureaucratic maze and are attempting to follow the rules. Some aren't, sure, but we live in a society where we don't draconianly punish people for a certain level of breaking the rules in cases where there is no real harm done. And I say deportation, particularly to 3rd country like the USA is doing now sometimes, qualifies as very draconian.

not being motivated enough to vote against != support in terms of claiming a popular mandate. If I just don't care who wins, you can't say I support either candidate.

At most you could say my inaction prevented the winner from losing I guess.

Eh. You can’t claim the non voters all implicitly support him though since they didn’t know the outcome ahead of time. I’ll agree they didn’t sufficiently oppose him ahead of the 2nd time to bother voting. But that’s far from support.

49.5% of 65% of eligible voters voted for him.. hardly a majority any way you slice it, either of voters or of the broad population.

I am certain you can find more than one quote of his relating to Project 2025. In any event this also doesn't disagree with what I said more broadly, which is, he was not forthright about his plan to do exactly what Project 2025 said, so you can't say he's doing exactly what he said. But anyone with a hint of insight could understand that was his plan.

I'm responding to someone who said Trump is doing what he SAID he would do, and that is all I intended to correct.

That’s exactly right and what I said. The guy above said Trump is doing what he said he would. He isn’t.

Actually Trump repeatedly said he didn't know about project 2025. He's so scattered in his campaigning that it's possible to pretty much justify any action as "what he said he would do." But saying executing project 2025 is exactly what he SAID he would do defies all reality. It may be what intelligent observers expected him to do but it is not what he said.

Edit: good lord people I’m not defending Trump I’m saying he lies about everything including that he lied and said he wasn’t going to do project 2025. Read the post I’m responding to!
