Mass deportation

Is a humanitarian and logistical nightmare. We must never forget.

1. Loyalty oaths, big data, tracking databases, citizens constantly having to prove themselves,

Stasi secret police requiring citizens to inform on each other, detention camps, prison-industrial complex, body scanners at every building entrance, seizing foreign remittances.

Deportation of children born in USA back to countries they never seen and don't speak the language of. Yeah, Trump will keep families together that way.

Big Brother is a mango Mussolini.

When elected president in 1933, FDR inherited the racist and unconstitutional program known as the "Mexican Repatriation Program." In the midst of the Great Depression when unemployment was high, white scapegoating of Black, Brown and Indigenous people only intensified. Within this context, the Mexican Repatriation Program, coordinated between federal, state, local governments and industry deported to Mexico more than one million people of Mexican ancestry living in the United States. Approximately sixty percent of those were Mexican American citizens. In the Pace Law Review, Kevin Johnson writes:

It is clear today that the conduct of federal, state, and local officials in the campaign violated the legal rights of the persons repatriated, as well as persons of Mexican ancestry stopped, interrogated, and detained but not removed from the country. The repatriation campaign also terrorized and traumatized the greater Mexican-American community.

Roosevelt actively supported the program during his first term in office and thereafter passively allowed the program to continue into the 1940s. When World War II led to a shortage of farm workers, FDR negotiated the 1942 Bracero Program with Mexico, which was a "guest worker" program that allowed Mexican farm laborers to enter the US on a temporary basis. Writing in the Cleveland State Law Review, Ronald Mize points out, "[t]hough the specific link has not been directly demonstrated, it is certainly more than coincidence that only six months previously, thousands of Japanese farmers and farm laborers (mostly residing in California) were detained as suspected 'dangerous enemy aliens.'"

5. We didn't matter then, and we won't matter in another go-around.

Fortunately, some are alert enough to see what is happening with other vulnerable groups, well, except those who's issues are "boutique". The real issue is will enough people see what is really happening or will they "poo-poo" the threat, be fatalistic whiners, or enthusiastic supporters.
