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

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?
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.
Her anchor baby, Barron, needs to go too.
It depends on if he saved the receipt.

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)
It’s because he essentially is one. They’re rewriting the code, but it’s till the same game.
MAGA = NAZI.
There's an astronaut with a gun behind this article
I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say "we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants." Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they're full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.
You'd think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren't born here, but it barely seems to register.
None of this is new, ICE was targeting US citizens under trump last time too

As if your parents birthrights will matter in the end. I mean if it goes all Nazi.
How many of trump’s supporters can say their ancestry dates to before the establishment of the United States? The irony is lost on these people.
it was always a lie about 'legal immigrants'. theyve spent 70 years making it practically impossible to become a legal immigrant. because racism.
More than 70. Basically right back to the post civil war era. Around 1880 we started really trying to close the doors to people we considered understandable. Then in 1924 they introduced the quota system to really limit immigration.
Let's hope Elon goes first.
Deport his wife and Elon.
As someone who's regularly been to Springfield, oh over the last decade. It's not a beautiful place, it hasnt been for a long time. Most of downtown had been hollowed out and turned into parking lots, other buildings are deep in disrepair, which is contributing reason why it's not recovered as quickly as neighboring cities like Dayton, Urbana, and Xenia.
It's a hard hit rust belt city, long dealing with addiction and other deaths of despair.
What I'd heard is that importing a bunch of Haitians was helping to fix the place.
I think that's an unhelpful narrative. I think a better narrative is people who needed help and got it, improved their community.
The residents of Springfield have needed help for a long time and haven't gotten nearly enough and that's why things hadn't gotten better until now. The immigrants who have arrived and improved things are people who got the help they needed.
he also said and attempted this in his first term
Mask off
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.
Keep in mind when he says "deport", he really means "round up into camps"
