I would only agree with that if our nation’s history wasn’t filled with multiple instances of actual US citizens being deported during periods of heightened xenophobia.
A google search which took only a minute only underscored this as the widespread profiling/anti-Latino rhetoric…especially from a certain presidential candidate* and many of his supporters which has lead to deliberate and mistaken deportation of US citizens is not only past history…but still happening in very current times as shown by news links I made in my previous post. Scary how history seems to be repeating itself…
- Last I checked, openly accusing an entire race/ethnic group of negative characteristics such as being "rapists, murderers, etc" as a certain presidential candidate is on record as having said is a textbook example of racism. And those who support him are at best, condoning such remarks even if they try to minimize it by saying "it's words/rhetoric".
