Not sure if this is in article, but I immediately thought that he (Stephen Miller, really) is using this as leverage to negotiate with all these countries as places to send deportees/prisoners.
Well, some places like Cape Verde cant take them. Some are Island nation without resources like water and even space. But I think It would make the Idea even more temptating.
I do not think they understand (or maybe do not care) that red states will be hurt so much worse by this than blue. My hometown in WV is still underwater and those folks think FEMA will help them. Leopards, meet faces.
The ultimate goal isn’t to maintain a nice functioning country for the red states only, it’s to have a country where the rich take what they want and everyone else suffers what they must. The favoritism is all just a show to buy support along the way.
