Trump promises immigrants he wants to deport will get serial numbers - eviltoast

Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”

Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

      You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.

      Some parts of the world are over it. Some parts have failed history, and are desperate to make the same mistakes again. And here the US is not even the worst offender. One wonders how Israel has forgotten 1933-1945, and tries to find an Endlösung for the Palestinian question…
