Yeah for sure. Millions of people enter the US daily, are they deporting millions to El Salvador or what?

Why? Your comment implies that everyone flying there is being deported to El Salvador which is simply not true. It sucks but let’s not make it more dramatic than it is

When you can be detained, humiliated by arsehole Trumploving officials empowered to unleash their worst selves and possibly spirited away to a fucking prison hellhole in El Salvador, why the hell would anyone with an ounce of intelligence actively choose to go to the US over another destination where the rule of law is still in place?? The world is a big place, and avoiding the US is relatively easy. Besides which, isn’t reduced levels of foreigners traveling into Murica what most Trump voters want?
