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.

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

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.
They are who “First they came” was written about…
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.
As if your parents birthrights will matter in the end. I mean if it goes all Nazi.
