1. Fake news. He just wants to deport brown people to Mexico.

Besides, he's never heard of any of those other countries.

2. Oh, goody! This will certainly improve our relations with Mexico!

3. WOnder if that's the point - putting pressure on Mexico by returning those who passed through it

to get here. And keeping those at the border from crossing at all.

4. It's do-nothing blowhardism intended to appeal to ignorant dimwits

Try to imagine the possible logistics of this

What are the Trumpsters going to do?

Stick the folk on commercial airliners and demand the airlines disembark them in Mexico?

I bet the airliners would learn real fast what leverage the Mexican government has

March the folk at gunpoint to a border post and Mexico take them?

Um, yeah, sure

Strap parachutes on the detainees, sit them in giant catapults, and lob them south of the Rio Grande?

It's 100% PU

The only possible outcome is pointless diplomatic friction

5. I am sure there's a plan - its gotta be around here somewhere!

It'd be funny if it wasn't so screwed up.

6. The main plan is long weekends at Mar-A-Lago
