Roper: How deportations may work

Likely features of Trump Deportation Plan:

All illegal immigrants will be deported to their country of birth.

Descendants of living illegal immigrants will deported with the illegal ancestor.

First deportees will be illegal immigrants with crime records, along with all persons related to them.

Youth gangs will be examined to see if any of their members are illegal immigrants.

Spouses with American citizenship will be deported with their spouses who are illegal immigrants, unless they file for divorce.

Likely implications of Trump Deportation Plan:

Families whose living ancestor is an illegal immigrant will be designated as such in local records and will be scheduled for deportation.

U.S. citizens will be encouraged to report individuals who they think might be illegal immigrants.

Aerial drones will be used to monitor the movement of family members designated to be deported.

Family camps will be set up as needed throughout the U.S. to house families of illegal immigrants until they can be deported.

Police and military personnel will be used to take families of illegal immigrants from their homes to the family camps, using force if necessary.

Buses, trains and airplanes will be used to take families of illegal immigrants to the country of birth of the illegal ancestor.

Companies that employ illegal immigrants will be given permits for a few months to allow the immigrants' families to stay until they can be replaced by U.S. citizens as employees. Then those families will be deported.

Protesters that attempt to block rounding up families of illegal immigrants will be arrested and fined or jailed.

Hospitals will be monitored so that newborn babies of families with a living illegal immigrant ancestor will be labeled in local records for eventual deportation with their family.

U.S. citizens who attempt to assist families of illegal immigrants to prevent them from being deported will be arrested and fined or jailed.

Cities, churches or other organizations that attempt to assist families of illegal immigrants to prevent them from being deported will be punished by withholding federal funds and/or cancelling tax-exempt status. They may be invaded by IRS forces to extract the protected immigrants.

Places where families of illegal immigrants are hidden to prevent them from being deported will be raided by police or military personnel to remove the families to family camps to await deportation.

One other thing: If President Donald Trump builds a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border to keep people from crossing into the U.S. and requires Mexico to pay for it, will Canada build a wall on the Canadian-U.S. border to keep people from crossing into Canada to escape Trump's U.S. and require the U.S. to pay for it? And will Trump mine the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to keep people from coming into the U.S.?
