The charge against Donald Trumps immigration so-called proposals is that theyre nonsensical word salad meant to appeal to white people.
Deport 2 million people, in the first hour of your presidency? Yes, Donald Trump did promise that last night, along with an ideological test on immigrants and a plan to begin forcing the rest of the 11 million undocumented people out of the country
after the inaugural ball, I suppose.
Word salad. Nonsense. Impossible. These are not real proposals, or if they are, then Donald Trump also plans on bankrupting the Department of Homeland Security, creating another recession by taking millions of people out of the work force, and deporting the citizen children of undocumented immigrants, because, as Trump has said: We wont split up the families (that would be cruel) they are all leaving.
So it may have been a bit shocking to hear Corey Lewandowski say that Trumps red meat speech last night was aimed at white men specifically, but it wasnt a surprise at all. That has been the aim of Trumps whole campaign, and watching him gaslight his supporters last week with an alleged softening, on immigration, by briefly proposing that the good ones be allowed to stay, turned out to be one of the medias vague, Trumpian fever dreams: It happened, but not really.

I recall going to a rally with my older sister back in the 70's where a speaker said that the anti-abortion movement was not so much about the Right to Life but more about keeping America a white nation. He said that because of Title IX of the Civil Rights Law of 1964, Affirmative Action, and the Birth Control Pill, the white man would be a minority in this country in the next 50 years. He said that because of Title IX, white women were enrolling in colleges in record numbers and they were also the biggest beneficiaries of Affirmative Actions programs. Their ability to control their reproductive rights would lead to the browning of America.
That thought stayed with me every since, and now that that day seems to be in the foreseeable future, they don't seem to know what to do with themselves. In many cases, the brown people have been here as long as, if not longer, than many of the white people.
