18. It's been a while back, but I remember some Republican saying that black people should all be deported.

The idea was that they are not real citizens like white people and they should all now be sent back to Africa.

Given the ignorance of history exhibited by most Republicans, including Trump, the assumption is that Hispanic people do not belong here either. They seem to be totally ignorant of the fact that until 1848 Mexico owned much of the Southwest, consisting of the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, the western half of New Mexico, the western quarter of Colorado, and the southwest corner of Wyoming. Obviously, the people living there were Hispanic and they were granted citizenship by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848. Texas was in dispute but also had many Mexicans living there when it became a state and gained US citizenship.

We are a nation of many ethnicities. I wish we could finally learn to live together without all the right-wing hate.
