People were infuriated by children being separated from their families and put in cages, but it was all happening "elsewhere," so there was a disconnect. Militarized mass deportation will be very different. Trigger-happy feds targeting families and dragging them out of their homes en masse. Shootings, violence, and the sheer terror of it will all be happening in every community and not just at some distant border.
Even some of the "cruelty is the point" crowd are going to have misgivings when they see this policy in action.
I just don't see this happening at all. Scouring neighborhoods to find illegal immigrants like this sounds horribly inefficient and dangerous (not to mention awkward and shameful for the people who have to do it?) Building a giant wall across the border sounds more realistic than this.
The Nazis were very efficient. And a network of snitch neighbours helps.
