Would the economy collapse or thrive? Would there be countries happy to accept the deportees? How would they even deport so many people?

Curious about your thoughts on the hypothetical.

    Well, actually:

    1. Where would they deport First Nations people?
    2. There were American people before the Mayflower arrived — why wouldn’t everyone who immigrated since that time be deported?

      Wouldn’t surprise me if the MAGA crowd considered itself as “native” and conveniently ignored the indigenous population completely, just like bible thumpers believe “dinosaurs were put here to test us” and that the world is 9000-15000 years old. My guess: they’ll say “American Indians --> Indians --> India”. It’s the most simplistic thing I could think of.
