      With all the people gone there’ll be more room for trains!!

      Before anyone yells at me, yes, I’m aware the Railroad Commissioner does much more than railroad stuff.

        Indeed, the position literally has nothing to do with railroads any more.

    46.2M people in the US in 2024 were born in a different country (excluding people born on US milliary bases, embassies, or other areas abroad still considered US soil). An estimated 11mil of those are undocumented immigrants. There is no possible way that there are 100mil immigrants in the US. Period.

    If they are serious about deporting 100mil people, and I’m not so stupid at this point to believe they’re being hyperbolic about even the most bitshit things they say, it won’t just be “illegals” or even immigrants more generally that they will be deporting; that other 54mil has to come from somewhere.
