Why are you sounding like the hosts of The View? 

There are legal precedents for charging people who abet and harbor law-breakers.

Where did you hear anything about confinement camps? Pres. Trump's goal is for illegals to be sent back to where they came from, not impound them.

A presidents can't just take over land like you make it sound so easy to occur, and as I stated, there is no guarantee that annexing is the actual goal.

The rule of law doesn't work the way that you are shilling.

A the man said he could shoot someone  in times square NYC  and "his" people would still support him.

As to detainment centers the goal is for 41,000 beds  to include housing of entire families.

"The Texas General Land Office is offering President-elect Donald Trump a 1,400-acre Starr County ranch as a site to build detention centers for his promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a letter the office sent him Tuesday." That  is but one of four planned to date. Others nearer large cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago.

Whether for it  or against it one cannot deny it.

You might  take  fresh look at the history of the USA's involvement in Panama from 1989 and what happened when the USA got tired of dealing with  de facto leader Noriega.  

And why is Greenland vital to USA security, and not Cuba so much?

How is taking Greenland any different a statement than is Russia's taking Ukraine for homeland security?

LOL. That's because Biden has been a no-show since the election.

The power behind the man has been very busy! Plus he is still "Big Guy" a danger to the last moment.

Although a different topic, a review of the US's involvement with Haiti over the years is also an interesting story.

A logical thinking person would recognize hyperbole when he hears it.

Is that any worse than the detention centers Obama built to house the illegals when they entered the country?

Again, things like this are not something you just fling a pen and accomplish in a day. Also again, Trump is a negotiator and deal-maker. He also loves to troll. If I were to bet on the matter, I would put my money down on these statements being his opening bid.

If you have a subscription, you can read an article the Washington Post on the matter, the title is something like "Trump was right about Greenland."

Yes  for many thousands of people it sure is. Greenland is interesting though as it has  evolved  to self rule under Denmark and could vote ( with a population of less than 60,000 evidently)  to full autonomy as of 2009. 

The USA has has military air force base  there for decades and decades Thule Airbase. It was protected by US forces during WWII. Had a friend that got stuck with duty there, and then was sent to Turkey where he went nuts and shot himself in the wrist to get  discharged from the airforce.

Anyway Thule is now Pituffik Space Base, the name implying it's importance to USA's "space force"

Gets rather interesting when looked into.

Was Emma Lazarus really committing a treasonous encouragement of an invasion?

An illegal from Guatemala burned a woman to death on the subway recently.  How about we move these people into your neighborhood?
