This is why I deported myself, even though I am a born in the US citizen with a no longer living US father, and a European immigrant mother. She has Alzheimers, so being deported would not serve her well. Granted she is not in the listed countries, but I know that the list is only going to grow longer. A must read to understand the origins of the anti-immigrant sentiment and the ties to the White Supremacist movement is Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America by Prof. Kathleen Belew. In it she talks about the White Supremacist militia gathering in early 1990s, which included WS from the US and the world. After the Oklahoma City bombing they wanted to form a new strategy so that they would not be infiltrated by the FBI. So, they decided that they would align with White Christian Nationalists whom they shared values with except for the violence of the militias, and tone down their overtly racist rhetoric, using immigrants as code for racist ideas. Instead of fighting against the government, they would run for office and infiltrate it until they had amassed enough power to overthrow the constitution and replace it with their White Nationalist one. Then, they want a global race war, which they plan to win. So, you can see this coming to fruition in Sweden, Italy, trying to in France, lost some power in England, gaining power in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia. Where will it lead? I recommend reading Belew's book, or watching some of her interviews where she looks at this modern movement, which is creating a Nazi emulating contingent in the USA. The militias are acting like the Brown Shirts, and if their leaders come to power, they will act as a private army for their party.
