The Left imagines the worst case scenario

Although Donald Trump gave a comprehensive speech on immigration, the New York Times was much more interested in what he did not say. Trump, as I understand him, wants to deport people who are committing crimes here in America (after coming here illegally). He also wants to build a wall, and deport people who are caught trying to enter the country illegally. The New York Times, as quoted today in a post by Ann Althouse, imagines
that government at all levels will be used to hunt down and remove immigrants from their homes, families and jobs. Mr. Trump was describing a world of lockups and surveillance and fugitive-hunting squads, a vast system of indiscriminate catch-and-punish that works as hard to catch hotel maids and landscapers as it does gang members and terrorists.
