It’s official: Donald Trump’s plan for massive deportations would apply to legal immigrants, as well as undocumented immigrants.
During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.
“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.
“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.
“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

So he’s gonna send his wife back? Sounds about right since she said she supports abortion.
Can we send Elon back to South Africa? There’s some sketchy stuff he did with his student visa.
Her anchor baby, Barron, needs to go too.
It depends on if he saved the receipt.
The headline makes this sound more encompassing than what he says. Revoking temporary legal status is different than revoking from people with green cards or naturalized citizens. I don’t agree with what he’s saying he will do, but it’s worth clarifying which group of people this actually effects.
It’s all stepping stones for them. That’s why they say everything they don’t like is a slippery slope, because that’s how they work.
Like it just happened. First it was illegal, now it’s the legal temporary. Next it will be legal _____, etc, etc.
Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That’s why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.
Is it worth? He didn’t care for what status or protection this specific group had. It’s not like he’s making an argument for that type of asylum. If it’s mexican greencard holders he thinks are eating the dogs, they’ll be next.
The headline is accurate, he wants to deport people who are in the US lawfully.
Because we all know he will stop there.
This isn’t the actual point, it’s about canceling citizenship for 2nd generation kids, because they might not vote for the same rednecks they believe should be running the country.
Ironically, if they were even marginally human and unracist, those conservative catholic Mexicans would vote GOP in droves, it’s just the brutal, inhuman explicit racism that pushed them blue.
Only when they divorce.
I’m a Republican Immigrant and I KNOW he’s NOT Talking about Me! He’s talking about those OTHER Immigrants!
First they came for the immigrants
And I did not speak out
Because I’m one of the good ones

If you’re a white immigrant, you’re probably right.
… for now.
Isn’t that like every wealthy Cuban in Florida?

So are native americans finally getting their land back? And will you all clean before you leave? :D
No way! He’ll send them back too!

You say that as if the United States deporting indigenous US citizens to Mexico isn’t a thing that’s actually happened before.
(Wikipedia calls it the “Mexican Repatriation”, but the only differences between a mixed-race “Native American” from the Southwest and a mestizo “Mexican-American” from the area of the Mexican Cession are speaking English vs. Spanish and how they choose to self-identity.)
Let’s hope Elon goes first.
I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say “we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants.” Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they’re full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.
You’d think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren’t born here, but it barely seems to register.
None of this is new, ICE was targeting US citizens under trump last time too

How many of trump’s supporters can say their ancestry dates to before the establishment of the United States? The irony is lost on these people.
They are who “First they came” was written about…
it was always a lie about ‘legal immigrants’. theyve spent 70 years making it practically impossible to become a legal immigrant. because racism.
More than 70. Basically right back to the post civil war era. Around 1880 we started really trying to close the doors to people we considered understandable. Then in 1924 they introduced the quota system to really limit immigration.
As if your parents birthrights will matter in the end. I mean if it goes all Nazi.
You know, this guy somehow sounds more and more like an actual Nazi every day. I’m starting to think he might have actual racist views and desires that will really fuck things up.
(/s since I always forget it’s not obvious, clearly a Nazi offspring has Nazi views)
It’s because he essentially is one. They’re rewriting the code, but it’s till the same game.
MAGA = NAZI.
Keep in mind “immigrant” is simply a dog whistle to these freaks. It means “brown or black people”, regardless of legal status. They don’t care that that’s not accurate, it enables them to hate and hurt people they don’t care about enough to try to understand…
Bye, Melania!
Deport his wife and Elon.

Nobody who’s been to Springfield would call it a beautiful place. It’s a small city in Ohio. I’ve I’ve been there several times, and I’d mostly gone several years without thinking about it. It’s fine. The Haitians didn’t ruin it they gave it character it sorely lacked
As someone who’s regularly been to Springfield, oh over the last decade. It’s not a beautiful place, it hasnt been for a long time. Most of downtown had been hollowed out and turned into parking lots, other buildings are deep in disrepair, which is contributing reason why it’s not recovered as quickly as neighboring cities like Dayton, Urbana, and Xenia.
It’s a hard hit rust belt city, long dealing with addiction and other deaths of despair.
What I’d heard is that importing a bunch of Haitians was helping to fix the place.
I think that’s an unhelpful narrative. I think a better narrative is people who needed help and got it, improved their community.
The residents of Springfield have needed help for a long time and haven’t gotten nearly enough and that’s why things hadn’t gotten better until now. The immigrants who have arrived and improved things are people who got the help they needed.
Melania looks relieved.
To be quite fair, if he’s elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I’ll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he’s also a threat to the world, though— there’s a reason I’m not really hearing “if he’s elected, I’m moving away” stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.
Keep in mind when he says “deport”, he really means “round up into camps”
…for “processing”.
Suddenly more efficient to dispose of them rather than arrange transportation.
which will immediately be defunded
