This is literal insanity.
Are they going to put Mexican Americans in internment camps next?
The United States already runs multiple concentration camps on the border.
Men, women, and children apprehended by CBP or ICE are normally placed in removal proceedings and may be detained in one of the more than 200 jails and detention centers that make up ICE’s detention system.
Sorry but they're called 'Migration Storage Facilities' not Concentration camps by the trustworthy newspaper The New York Times. This obviously means they're not concentration camps.
Yes. That is 100% the end point of this.
Unfortunately, not the end
Probably not this time, a big part of why Japanese-Americans were put into interment camps was because Californians wanted their farms.
I'd never considered this, but of course it came down to economics- weird how often massive crimes against humanity come down to some bourgeois thief wanting to take more for themselves and willing to do anything to do it.
Just did a little reading on it, they stole 400 million (1942) dollars worth of farmland from Japanese-Americans, which is like 7 billion adjusted for inflation, and basically just gave them to agribusiness corporations.
Yeah they don't tell you in school that white Californians lobbied hard for Japanese Americans to be robbed of all their land and property, and it's a big part of why their lands weren't restored to them after the war. Like western expansion never really stopped.
I think they'd be somewhat more likely to use various schemes to enslave Hispanic migrants and citizens, given how vital Hispanic migrants are to American ag.
No, but the risk of deportation is probably going to increase, including for citizens
Next? They've already done it with ICE detention centers
Not to mention deported American citizens fairly frequently, since they assume any brown person who doesn't have their license on them at the moment is illegally in the country.

German Jews' citizenship didn't protect them from the Nazis, who simply revoked their citizenship and then murdered them.
Probably the plan.
Idk if you meant it as hyperbole... But yes, yes, he is sick enough to try that. And a sliver of even bigger morons would/will vote for him.
They've already got concentration camps full of south and central Americans all over the country.
