The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent: Trumpy Alina Habba's Revealing Fox News Hit Gives Away His Border Scam

The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent - (archived: https://archive.ph/P1WGl ) Trumpy Alina Habba’s Revealing Fox News Hit Gives Away His Border Scam

December 11, 2024

As Trump lawyer Alina Habba reveals too much about MAGA’s spin on mass deportations, a leading immigration advocate looks at what’s coming—and how opponents of MAGA should respond.


Trump lawyer Alina Habba in New York City on March 21, 2023

In recent days, Donald Trump and his advisers have left no doubt: He will deport as many of the 11 million undocumented people in this country as possible. But on Fox News, Alina Habba, who’s set to be a top White House lawyer, offered some new spin on the coming plan that revealed a lot about how Trump’s propagandists will try to defend the indefensible. We talked to Vanessa Cardenas, the executive director of America’s Voice, who grapples with the hardships that immigrants will soon face, why Latinos moved toward Trump, and how pro-immigration forces should rally in response to what’s coming. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

Writing transcripts to vids is what AI should be working on. Not making fake van Gogh 's & inaccurate bird pics.

How exactly are they going to do that if some of the family are here legally or even US citizens? They are alot of talk right now but still, they are so incompetent they will do alot of damage even if they don't pull off their entire plan.

Is lying and bullshitting and successfully explaining away their incompetence to their target audience. How will they do it? Incredible inhumane cruelty. Will they succeed? Absolutely not. They will fuck up this plan and of course blame it on others in an orchestrated manner. By this time next year the few good republicans left in Washington will be in revolt mode.

He's going to deport American citizens?!

And Welker just sat there with her dumbass "professional" look & let him continue like he said we're exporting golf balls. I also read he's going to send people to random countries. WTF????? Just drop them off to what ever country will accept them, who cares if they speak the language, if the culture is totally foreign? There's going to be so much chaos & suffering. I hate this fucker so bad. I can't wish enough bad shit on him.
