 "Families can be deported together."
 Uh
 That would include citizens and permanent residents. They aren't subject
to deportation. Other people claim that's actually wht he means.

I cannot IMAGINE the courts upholding a decision to deport actual citizens of the United States, even with a majority of conservative judges and the Republicans in control of the House, Senate and the Executive Branch unless perhaps an amendment had changed the Constitution to allow deportation of citizens.
Surely the new "border czar" will, at most, put people who are citizens in the difficult position of having their families split or leaving VOLUNTARILY to keep the family together.
Has anyone heard if people that will be deported under this administration will be allowed to apply to enter the country legally after they've returned to their home countries (or perhaps a third country) or will these deportees be forbidden to even apply for normal immigration ever again? (I'm assuming they can't be banned from applying for refugee status.)
Am I correct in thinking that American popular sentiment still supports LEGAL immigration, even under the current circumstances, it just wants to stop border-jumpers from sneaking in? If so, then I would hope that the deportations to come won't preclude those people applying to come legally.
