"Donald Trump intensified his politics of nativism and xenophobia on Friday by announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans he claimed have 'infected' a once-peaceful city in Colorado."

As David Smith reports,
"Aurora’s Republican mayor, Mike Coffman, called Trump’s claims [that illegal immigrants are terrorizing his community] 'grossly exaggerated' and insisted: 'The narrative is not accurate by any stretch of the imagination.'”
Trump continues to language right out of the Nazi playbook of immigrants "infecting" the US bloodstream:

“'We’re talking a lot about Venezuela, because Aurora is really infected by Venezuela, but they’re coming from all countries.'
The remark recalled past dehumanising language in which Trump claimed undocumented immigrants were 'poisoning the blood of our country' and, earlier this week, suggested that those suspected in homicide cases 'have bad genes'."

As Josh Marshall says about Trump's statements yesterday regarding: Operation Aurora,
"Straight up Aryan Nations content. No other way to put it."

"Donald Trump and MAGA are a right-wing authoritarian force who represent a fascist threat to democracy, and they are following Hitler’s playbook, even going so far as to use his own words, such as 'poisoning the blood,' when describing immigrants."

Trump Goes Full Hitler and Corporate Media Shrugs It Off
One month ahead of the election, Donald Trump has embraced eugenics and bemoaned the existence of immigrants with "bad genes." Why doesn't corporate media sound the alarm?

Unfortunately, the white supremacist, racist, xenophobic hate Trump, Vance, and their party are selling markets very well among Americans now worked to a fever pitch of hate that has many of us more than eager to attack and expel millions of immigrants.
As Oliver Laughland says in this video,
"As extremist policies become more popular, it's Donald Trump who stands to gain the most."

‘We’ve been dehumanised’: how the US immigration debate became so toxic - video
With border crossings reaching record highs in recent years, US immigration has returned as the election’s most toxic issue. As Donald Trump continues to push a policy of mass deportation, and Kamala Harris responds by shifting further to the right, what happens to the people caught in the middle trying to seek a better life? The Guardian’s Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone head to Arizona’s southern border with Mexico to investigate

will MAGA be deporting scots/German immigrants who have infected Florida and DC?

The video shows Laughland interviewing people at a Pima County, Arizona, Republican rally and asking them if deporting millions of people would be humane. Repeatedly, they reply either directly or with other words, "I don't care."
They actively WANT the inhumanity and cruelty. Hitler and the Nazis did it and ushered in mass murder. You're choosing something like this for America?
"I don't care."

Laughland interviews Pima County Republican chair Steve Selvey, who says that Democrats say their goal is to replace the white majority with [brown and black] immigrants.
When Laughland then repeats back the phrase Selvey has just used — "the white majority" — Selvey bridles and says that introduces racism into the discussion.Though he's the one who had used that phrase….

Then there's this: see the posting below shared by a Threads user. The TW whose BlueSky post is being used is a Thomas from Birmingham, Alabama, whose surname I haven't been able to track — to give him full credit for his posting.
The hard work being done to help western North Carolina recover from Helene depends on the hard labor of immigrants. We would be far poorer without them.

@nrmacdonald Yes, Trump would be nothing without millions of xenophobic, hate-mongering Americans standing behind him. He is their face in the mirror.

@wdlindsy and yet the Biden/harris response is “we deported more people than they did! We actually passed the Republican immigration plan!” I cannot emphasize enough how harmful centrism in America is when it’s call to action is “we’re like republicans but competent!”

@mbwood They absolutely did. Our cities would shut down and experience total chaos and hardship if immigrants were suddenly deported, as Trump promises and millions of Americans lust to see. The economy would be gutted.

@LaNaehForaday I agree. We never see trees being trimmed or taken down without seeing that all the workers are Hispanic men. It's the norm. Ditto for the hard work of street repair, and for most of the lawn and garden work in our area. Houses all through my neighborhood are cleaned by Hispanic women.
The country would shut down in an instant if all the immigrants in it were deported. And the economy would totally crash.
