Trump has said he would like to stop birthright citizenship. Is that hyperbole?Yes, because you'd need to change the 14th Amendment.
Trump has said he would do mass deportations (different than just criminals, no?) Is this hyperbole?No, and I covered this one. They're going to deport folks who flunk their amnesty hearings. There might even be workplace sweeps. For some reason Biden pretty much stopped doing any workplace enforcement the last 4 years.
Trump has said he would deport the "dreamers" or immigrants who came here as children and have lived productive lives in the US for decades. Will you support him in deporting these people, or is this hyperbole?Hyperbole. Why can I say this? Because of this:
https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/dealmaking-daily...Democratic senator Diane Feinstein then made a bold proposal to Trump: “What about a clean DACA bill now, with a commitment that we go into a comprehensive immigration reform procedure?” She was asking for a bill on a single, Democratic-favored issue—protections for Dreamers—with no other issues on which Republicans could negotiate concessions, such as border security.
“I have no problem [with that],” Trump responded. “We’re going to do DACA, and then we can start immediately on the Phase 2, which would be comprehensive [reform].”
“Would you be agreeable to that?” Feinstein said.
“Yeah, I would like to do that,” Trump said.Trump will allow the Dreamers to stay if he gets something else he wants. That's what negotiating looks like.
