Would the economy collapse or thrive? Would there be countries happy to accept the deportees? How would they even deport so many people?

Curious about your thoughts on the hypothetical.

The US food, healthcare, delivery, cleaning, packaging, etc sectors rely very heavily on non whites. Civil war over basic resource distribution would break out in days. Millions would die, assuming it happens magically within a day or so.

But realistically civil war would break out because people would just refuse to leave. 40% of the US population is non-white, there is no way you are getting 130 million people to just leave the country peacefully. It would be the largest undertaking of any kind in human history and its completely impossible unless you stretch it over decades.

    Especially not when at least some of the white population would be on their side against those in favour of deportation. There'd be massive non compliance.
