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.

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…

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

So he’s gonna send his wife back? Sounds about right since she said she supports abortion.

Can we send Elon back to South Africa? There’s some sketchy stuff he did with his student visa.

The headline makes this sound more encompassing than what he says. Revoking temporary legal status is different than revoking from people with green cards or naturalized citizens. I don’t agree with what he’s saying he will do, but it’s worth clarifying which group of people this actually effects.

It’s all stepping stones for them. That’s why they say everything they don’t like is a slippery slope, because that’s how they work.

Like it just happened. First it was illegal, now it’s the legal temporary. Next it will be legal _____, etc, etc.

Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That’s why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.

Is it worth? He didn’t care for what status or protection this specific group had. It’s not like he’s making an argument for that type of asylum. If it’s mexican greencard holders he thinks are eating the dogs, they’ll be next.

The headline is accurate, he wants to deport people who are in the US lawfully.

They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in

This isn’t the actual point, it’s about canceling citizenship for 2nd generation kids, because they might not vote for the same rednecks they believe should be running the country.

Ironically, if they were even marginally human and unracist, those conservative catholic Mexicans would vote GOP in droves, it’s just the brutal, inhuman explicit racism that pushed them blue.

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

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.)
