‘Brace yourselves’: Victor Davis Hanson predicts how Dems will react to Trump’s deportation plans

Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson predicted Tuesday on his podcast that when President-elect Trump goes through with his deportation plans, Democrats will be “weeping and crying” on television.

Since Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote, Democrats have had a wide range of reactions and responses to their party’s loss. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” Hanson stated that Trump will bring a “return to normalcy” regarding illegal immigration, noting that Democrats will most likely push back.

“But I will issue a warning to everybody, you haven’t seen the left. When you start deporting people, even with a criminal record, they’re going to be on CNN weeping and crying. They’re going to be on the internet [saying], ‘This is like Hitler.’ So brace yourself,” Hanson said.

Hanson went on to state that while he believes some sanctuary cities may push back against federal penalties for not assisting in the deportation of illegal immigrants, liberals won’t be able to blame a lack of federal funds.

“If you say that a sanctuary city is not going to get [money] — if it insists and it will not get certain types of federal funds [then] people say, ‘Oh, my daughter was killed on the freeway because it wasn’t fixed,’” Hanson added. “The same left-wing mind that looks over here at High-Speed Rail, this Stonehenge six miles from my house — $15 billion — nothing. There’s the most dangerous freeway in the world parallel to it, the 99.”

“Just two lanes in each direction … It hasn’t changed since 1960 and because why? Because money has been siphoned off from the highway funds and put into this boondoggle and no one said a word. That is criminal. That really is because thousands of people have been maimed and injured on this freeway in the last 15 to 20 years,” Hanson concluded.

Despite California’s high taxes and gas prices, the state has long struggled with issues on its freeways, particularly Highway 99, referenced by Hanson, also known as the Golden State Highway. The roadway earned its nickname due to the high number of accidents, with data from Auto Accident showing 62 fatalities per 100 miles over a five-year span at one point.

While Trump has outlined his plans to secure the U.S. southern border, which include mass deportations of millions of illegal immigrants who crossed under the Biden-Harris administration, Democratic states like California are reportedly already planning to push back. The blue state’s immigrant advocates and officials are vowing to fight any immigration laws that may pass under Trump’s second administration, believing that some policies will “aim to tear families apart, destabilize communities, and weaken our economy,” according to Cal Matters.
