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.

      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.
