Somehow I don’t feel like this is a good use of taxpayers money.
- It really isn't.
  
  If Trump really did deport tens of millions of migrants this way, like he promised he would, it would bankrupt the country. Fortunately, it's another one of his promises that will never materialize.
  
  Ergo, it’s expensive cruelty towards an arbitrary selected small group of people perhaps as a political stunt for his hateful supporters?
You mean New America, surely.
- You think maybe Trump is dumb enough to think he shipped them to Mexico?
  
  No, but he's dumb enough to deport them to the USA apparently.
This is getting so much uglier so fast :(
- Nah. It's gonna get ugly when they're all interned in concentration camps with no due process of law for indefinite amounts of time and brought there by trainloads.
  
  They’ll eventually need something to mange hygiene. A spa maybe…or a bath? Something like that.
Okay, I didn't expect the dystopia to start taking cues from MST3K...
