Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”

Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

    One more fucking time for the Rubepublicans in the back:

    Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

    That is on the door step of our nation. This is who we should be, and the only way to build a stronger America for a stronger mankind.

    Oh, I know! Tattoo them on their forearms and maybe they could wear some kind of sign on their clothing. Wouldn’t that be neat.

      Well, there’s a war in Europe, we had a global pandemic, and fascism is on the rise, so we’re just doing an early 20th century rerun.

      Of course, history doesn’t exactly rhyme, which is why Israel is the one doing the holocausting this time.

      You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.

      Some parts of the world are over it. Some parts have failed history, and are desperate to make the same mistakes again. And here the US is not even the worst offender. One wonders how Israel has forgotten 1933-1945, and tries to find an Endlösung for the Palestinian question…

      One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. – John 4:1-3

      And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.-- Revelation 13.3

      He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. – Daniel 7.7

      Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. – Matthew 24:24

      Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead – Revelations 13.11

      I don’t study the bible, and it amazes me no suspicions have been raised in their “God fearing” constituency

    Trump and many of his supporters are bigots: it’s that simple.

    At work, an old guy was telling me a bunch of really important bits so I started taking notes on my hand because I forgot my notebook. He immediately stopped and said to never do that to my skin. I forgot his actual words but it wasn’t a religious tone at all. It turns out his parents had been in concentration camps.

    Misleading headline. He said they know their serial numbers. Which means they already have them. Which is worse.

    Headline is misleading. Based on his statements, Trump thinks they already have serial numbers.
