How Trump Could Deport 11 Million People.
Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, has said it would be reasonable to deport a million people a year.
Donald Trump has made a key element in his election platform that he will deport up to 11 million ‘illegal aliens’. His running mate, JD Vance says that it would be “reasonable to deport a million people a year.”
How would they go about doing that?
The answer, I think, may be in Iran.
You may recall that not too long ago, there were massive protests against the mandatory wearing of the hijab by women. “Woman, Life, Freedom” was their rallying cry.
You don’t hear too much from them these days. That’s because the protests were quashed -not by the religious police, but rather by high tech. Whenever a woman was caught in the street not wearing a hijab by the regimes many cctv cameras, she was instantly recognized by facial identification software, and thanks to the miracle of AI, a message was immediately transmitter to her phone instructing her to go home and remain there for two weeks or face arrest. No religious police, nor any humans for that matter, are involved in this. Call it the miracle of high tech applied to authoritarian regimes. Very effective.
You may think the biggest threat from AI is for taxi and truck drivers to lose their job, but AI is already in place, and it turns out to be a great tool for social control.
Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance thinks that deporting 1 million people a year is a very attainable goal. How to you even find them? JD Vance probably already has the solution. Vance has a long and deep relationship with tech billionaire Peter Thiel, that has gone on for many years. Thiel has been a kind of mentor (as well as employer) of Vance since his days at Yale.
Vance was once Thiel’s pupil in Silicon Valley, and when Vance started his own fund, he was financially supported by the PayPal founder, whom he considered a mentor. When Vance ran for Senate in 2022, Thiel shelled out a record-breaking $15 million to secure his victory. Trump and Vance reportedly initially met through a meeting put together by Thiel himself. — The New Republic
Thiel is the founder and owner of Palantir, a little-know tech company. In 2017, Trump turned to Palantir as a way of finding and identifying undocumented aliens in the US. In 2020, The Guardian warned about Palantir’s enormous data driven power:
The rise of Palantir is a dangerous development. In the United States, its tools have mostly been deployed against immigrants and Black communities, but that may change: as we saw in Portland, DHS is willing and able to carry out the whims of the president to enact terror on the general public. The same is true for the department’s contractors.
According to The New York Times, Palantir has the largest collection of personal data in the world. Married to facial recognition technology, sweeping up and deporting one million people in a year should be simple, as Mr. Vance so honestly tells us.
We should listen.
