It’s official: Donald Trump’s plan for massive deportations would apply to legal immigrants, as well as undocumented immigrants.

During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.

“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.

“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.

“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

And in other news "Biden/Harris are now threatening to deport illegitimate ex-presidents"?

Please? Wouldn’t it be an official act?

Melania looks relieved.

Twice last century the US deported legal US citizens along with the undocumented. First in 1930's and the again in 1954

If Trump assumes power, it will happen again.

Keep in mind "immigrant" is simply a dog whistle to these freaks. It means "brown or black people", regardless of legal status. They don't care that that's not accurate, it enables them to hate and hurt people they don't care about enough to try to understand...

Nobody who’s been to Springfield would call it a beautiful place. It’s a small city in Ohio. I’ve I’ve been there several times, and I’d mostly gone several years without thinking about it. It’s fine. The Haitians didn’t ruin it they gave it character it sorely lacked

So… basically…. he spoke? I mean, that’s all he does when he opens his mouth- threats, lies and unintended promises.

Why is anyone left shocked by this?

I'm a Republican Immigrant and I KNOW he's NOT Talking about Me! He's talking about those OTHER Immigrants!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you're a white immigrant, you're probably right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

... for now.

Isn’t that like every wealthy Cuban in Florida?

First they came for the immigrants

And I did not speak out

Because I'm one of the good ones

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

he also said and attempted this in his first term

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You know, this guy somehow sounds more and more like an actual Nazi every day. I'm starting to think he might have actual racist views and desires that will really fuck things up.

(/s since I always forget it's not obvious, clearly a Nazi offspring has Nazi views)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

It’s because he essentially is one. They’re rewriting the code, but it’s till the same game.

MAGA = NAZI.

So are native americans finally getting their land back? And will you all clean before you leave? :D

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No way! He'll send them back too!

You say that as if the United States deporting indigenous US citizens to Mexico isn't a thing that's actually happened before.

(Wikipedia calls it the "Mexican Repatriation", but the only differences between a mixed-race "Native American" from the Southwest and a mestizo "Mexican-American" from the area of the Mexican Cession are speaking English vs. Spanish and how they choose to self-identity.)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To be quite fair, if he's elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I'll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he's also a threat to the world, though--- there's a reason I'm not really hearing "if he's elected, I'm moving away" stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Keep in mind when he says "deport", he really means "round up into camps"

which will immediately be defunded

Suddenly more efficient to dispose of them rather than arrange transportation.
