    He’s not speeding up deportations, but detainment. He’s already realized that Guantanamo isn’t going to work, and flew those people back to the mainland. The new plan is creating detainment centers on military bases. We’ll have mineral refining internment camps before you know it.

          This isn’t the 1940’s. Mines are highly mechanized. This would be moronic, and achieve a much lower output than employing skilled workers.
