He can deprive them of a means to earn a living. I don't know if he can legally deport them but why does legal matter to anyone who is so obviously ABOVE THE LAW? And he can have them imprisoned or killed by any means necessary. His pal Putin has had dissidents poisoned/shot and some have just disappeared without a trace. Lotsa options for an invincible indestructible omnipotent prez. Choices choices choices. Nice to have. less

What's wrong with giving him/her everything and anything always and forever whenever? Two separate and apart entities having no ties or treaties or agreements or "deals" to break. An island apart..the Red and the Blue. How does that sound to you? That way every red state citizen would be FOR their red state prez so no one would criticize or disagree with anything the red state prez said or did. I'm pretty sure the blue state folks would like nothing better than to operate as the US always has operated for many decades. Criticism and disagreement would not be a problem. I don't KNOW that for a fact of course. I can only surmise it. less

Men went off to war so women went into the factories to do the work. That's where Rosie the Riveter was born. I doubt that present and future wars would require that of we the people but maybe it would. So what would YOU sacrifice for the greater good? Would you do it willingly and cheerfully or would you whine and kvetch and moan and groan and complain? I guess if you never have had to do without you wouldn't know how you would react.
