The Department of Homeland Security ended the year by posting a fantasy. On December 31, the official DHS X account shared a vision of “America after 100 million deportations” like it was a tourism ad. They tried selling a nation supposedly at peace, “no longer besieged by the third world.”
“The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.” The DHS really thought that caption was appropriate for an official government account. But the bigger problem was math. Evidently, there are not 100 million deportable people in the United States. Not undocumented, documented, or even combined. The entire foreign-born population is estimated at around 45 million.
