Well, you're a Trump fan, so the abrupt pivot to immigration isn't surprising, but I think ability to receive a vaccine should be independent of legal status. What's more interesting is that implicit in your criticism is an acknowledgement that vaccines are important, so why would you support a man who not only distrusts them but also whose brain was partially eaten by a worm? That last part is somewhat unrelated but maybe not!
But Trump doesn't distrust anything, he knows a large part of american people for various reasons hate the vaccines (fear, state impositition on children so they can act like "antisystem rebels" when somewhere else they need the system to protect them, etc.) so he just resonates ("virtue signaling") with that hate to grab their vote.
It's the same everywhere with populist politicians: they aren't even interested in politics or real problems, they just hoarde votes.
They don't have "ideas", they just want to please and fearmonger to get voted and so get a position of power.

I'm putting this video here for reference to get a broad overview of what we can expect is coming.

The one thing I think he's shortchanging is the internment camps for the deportations will come with a very large private security force that I think Trump is going to use, e.g., to crackdown on protestors (they won't ask questions when he asks them to shoot like before), which in combination with offensively weaponizing DOJ with lawfare and arbitrary prosecutions against his opponents and critics will be one of the surest routes to a police state.

Doesn't surprise me that someone "wormed" his way into a government position.
Mamma mia the clowns are running the circus.....

Well at least they have new ideas. Or maybe what's old is new again

RFK Jr. Says He'll Send People Taking Adderall to Labor Camps
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., independent challenger for president and anti-vaccine activist, has a cockamamie solution for drug addicts and people who use medication for depression or ADHD: strip people of their tech gadgets and send them to government-funded "wellness farms" to grow organic food.
Doesn't that sound suspiciously like... a labor camp?!
Ok so drug addicts, the clinically depressed and ADHD suffers get sent away to concentration camps to labor for free. I guess that's one way to replace all the deported farm workers.

We already know illegal and legal immigrants and the homeless will be sent to detention camps, so drug addicts is part of the same theme. By the time they get to dissidents it'll be much too late to do anything about it.

It sort of boggles my mind that people can watch Fox and its ilk and (

It's no secret that people as a whole have always had a preference for being spoonfeed opinions and conclusions, but surely there has to be a back-of-the-mind undercurrent that goes, 'wait, is this right?' at some point. How much illusory truth effect is responsible for this kind of thing?

Trump has also talked about bringing back sanitariums, aka hell on Earth.

It's the perfect place for him, a narcissist trying to get the best of psychopaths (=not get killed) :v
