Trump’s mass deportation plan: Immigrants aren’t the problem

President-elect Trump says he wants to deport 15 million to 20 million people. His doing so would destroy the agricultural and construction industries.

Beyond that, before they decided to kill them all, the Nazis planned to deport all the Jews. They had a plan to deport them to Madagascar, a plan they gave up only because the British navy stood in the way. Deporting the people you have made your scapegoats and whom you have used to rile up hatred among the people against the people who aren’t really the cause of any problems is an old-time fascist tactic.

Donald Trump is a fascist, and he is following a fascist playbook. Is it too late for the American people to wake up to who they have actually made president? I pray not but fear so.
