The max that is happening here, assuming the poster is referring to the current administration's policy to remove undocumented aliens from the country, is that some operational mistakes unfortunately will be made since an estimated 10 million people entered the country illegally in the last four years.

It is my hope and belief that any such mistakes would be swiftly corrected, and that the undocumented people that are impacted by this policy are treated with dignity and respect, while still encouraging legal immigration into this country. Furthermore I would expect that the odds of a US citizen or otherwise legal resident to be arrested and deported to be virtually zero.

First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out, because I was not an illegal immigrant.

Then they came for the legal immigrants they didn't like and I did not speak out, because I was not a legal immigrant. [0]

Then they came for their political enemies [1] and I did not speak up, because I was not their political enemy.

Then they came for me - and there was noone left to speak for me.
