Donald Trump’s immigration plan needs a hard reset
On the one hand, the presence of millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. makes a mocks our laws and outrages much of the public.
On the other, many industries rely on them and their sudden departure would disrupt the economy
Those dueling impulses are why the past few decades have seen tough laws and lax enforcement.
Trump’s most recent idea for splitting the difference
— cracking down in blue areas of the country but not red ones
— would not improve matters.
What would it mean for the rural parts of liberal states with sanctuary laws?
-- California has a lot of farms.
Besides, it doesn’t make sense:
Trump’s position would be that illegal immigrants are both a scourge and must be kept living among his supporters
— the very people most exercised about their presence in our country

I just want to point out that the framing here being that mass deportation is bad because of the economic effects and not because it would mean separating millions of human beings from their homes and families is, quite frankly, pretty ghoulish.
