Let's talk about some deportation math. Trump wants to immediately deport 3 million undocumented immigrants. That's our baseline.
-
-
By comparison, during Operation: Iraqi Freedom, the US flew 24,000 airlift sorties over 6 weeks. This was a full scale deployment.
-
So the cost of this deportation plan is literally on the same order magnitude as deploying half our military.
-
And it would completely eliminate any ability for the military to deploy airlift capabilities to respond to humanitarian crises for months.
-
Like every single other plan he has, the data and the math don't work out to a practical reality.
-
obv not a fan of this plan but it seems you're assuming they can fly continuously which isn't a good assumption.
-
oh, I'm estimating the mos rapid approach, which is def absurd. Just using his own words.
