If there's one silver lining to Trump's presidency, it's that his handling of the office has made people less politically apathetic. Unfortunately, not necessarily with the right focus.

Wait until the economy gets kicked in the crotch from the mass deportations.

I don't know about that mate. Got any sources/statistics?

Many people are not happy with the current political process that gave us two bad choices.

One woman told another woman to go back to her country, then the woman replied that she was born here and then an argument broke out. Wow, Trump is really hitting close to home.

WASHINGTON—A new report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center has found that the country that might completely shut down because the president wants a big wall is somehow considered the best in the world. The study determined that the 241-year-old federal republic, whose entire government may soon cease to function on account of the head of state’s desire for a big, tall, and thick wall stretching all the way from one side of the water to the other side of the water, remains widely viewed as an exemplary nation and the preeminent achievement in democratic governance. The report also revealed that the country continues to be regarded as a paragon of excellence and a refuge for all humanity despite its commander-in-chief risking the loss of billions of dollars in potential revenue and the termination of vital public services because he really, really wants the big concrete wall and wants it now. Researchers confirmed that this nation, which may grind to a halt due to the leader’s demand for a big, giant, cement wall, is absolutely convinced that every other nation should be just like it.

What makes you think these people will have a choice as to where they're going, if they're deported? They go back to the country their parents came from. That they've never lived there makes no difference.

Oh yea, has Trump forgotten that most of his products are made in China? How can he ban trade with them?

So what makes it unconstitutional?

Of course they don't have a choice, especially with Trump's hard line immigration policies in place. I'm saying that its not compassionate and is against the embracing of immigrants that America, as a nation, does.

It directly flies in the face of immigration laws already passed by congress.

Unconstitutional like Trump's Muslim ban done by Executive Order?

That was upheld by the Supreme Court. DACA was not.
