What 11 million unauthorized immigrants heard from Donald Trump: be very afraid

What 11 million unauthorized immigrants heard from Donald Trump: be very afraid

But the speech quickly turns to a darker landscape.

Donald Trump is saying that your and your family’s well-being comes at the expense of the well-being of Americans — that the two are a zero-sum battle. He’s calling people like you “thugs.” He’s promising — threatening — that police know exactly who you are, where you live. He’s promising — threatening — they’re just waiting for a green light so they can bust through your door, cuff you, and turn you over to ICE for deportation.

Donald Trump promises that, under his administration, you would be at risk of deportation every day of your life.

He says it’s the point of having a country.

You listen to Donald Trump and feel disgusted for ever having had hope at all.

Living under threat of deportation is an incredibly traumatic thing

Basically, what Trump is saying is "Come to the US illegally, commit any crime, and the worst that can happen is that we'll send you back home free of charge."

That's not a bad deal.

& their children that are citizens. Guess we all will have to hide undocs like people hid the Jews from the Nazis.

He is a bellowing, bloviating, buffoon.

Saw him on CNN this morning trying to be presidential, looked like he was chomping at the bit to start raging again.

Heinrich would be proud of him. In his zeal no one would be safe from his roving deportation force.
