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.

And Trump's in-laws, and JD Vance's in-laws, and the effects this will have on his children. JDV is endangering his children by whipping up this anti-immigrant sentiment. It is the brown-skinned immigrants that this is targeted to.

From a NYT article about Haitians in Springfield. These legal immigrants may not be American citizens yet, but they are productive citizens in their community. This harassment is racist, sad, and uncalled for. "Many Haitians Prospered in Springfield, Ohio. Then Came the Hate" Article easily found with keywords: NYT delva springfield.

The Delvas were financially secure in Haiti. They owned a home and two cars and traveled abroad on vacation. Ms. Delva worked as a biomedical technician.

“We never intended to leave Haiti,” Mr. Delva said.

Then their lives were upended.

Mr. Delva, an accountant, oversaw the disbursement of funds for a European charity.

Odd how all these “terrible” immigrants are poor and of color. The rich (mostly) white ones buy condos in Trump Tower … where drug lords, mafiya and Arab princes are welcomed … no questions asked.

in 2022 the percentage of Europeans immigrating to the US legally out of total legal permanent residents was 7.4%. Get a clue, Replacement Theorists--Europeans don't WANT to come to the US, and it's easy to see why. A bigger stew of racist howling is hard to find. Jim Crow was mostly in the South. Now hatred of POC is rampant everywhere.

It is hard to find exact figures, but only about 8 to 16 percent of the WORLD population is white. If we don't want economic stagnation we have to realize that the immigration that keeps the country humming is going to be by a large percentage people of color. They are by no means all "Democrats in the making." There are plenty of conservative people in that 84% of the world that isn't white. If trumpvance stopped all immigration in January, even if all the women in the country dutifully stayed home and started getting pregnant, there would be a huge reduction in the number of people able to produce ANYTHING in the US for at least 18-25 years, not just the food we eat but everything we take for granted. Tariffs do nothing to protect American industry if there aren't enough people working to sustain that industry.

If we want to remain a viable nation, even (or especially) a white supremacist nation, we are going to have to face the fact that already white supremacy isn't economically possible. We will not be able to "Buy American" unless a goodly number of people who produce that American stuff are POC, the shelves of Walmart are going to be bare.

Gee. He said he’s “sorry”? Well, that makes it okay??? NOT. The only thing sorry about it is we should send his sorry ass to jail.

And “elite troops”? To me that equates to Nazi storm troopers who during World War II rounded up Hitler’s undesirables throughout Europe in a massive ethnic cleansing. Finally the wannabe dictator comes out with a means by which he’ll get rid of the immigrants who he claims are illegal.

Am I missing something here?

This is where we sorely need the MSM to call him out. Kamala Harris must do so too, as should all of us.
