President Donald Trump has spread hatred against immigrants more than any previous US president in the history of the United States, says Taylor Anbender, who has attacked them and contributed to their persecution.
George Washington University professor of history - his latest book, "The City of Dreams, the 400-year history of the New York immigrant saga" - adds that the United States is full of bias, but Trump is the strongest of them to date.
Trump, who married two immigrants - Ivana Zelnikova from the Czech Republic and Melania Nafiz from Slovenia - has made anti-immigrant rhetoric a central element of his political career, although he insists he has no prejudice against them.
He says the US president sometimes says something positive about a group of immigrants, as he wondered why the United States could not get more immigrants from Norway, but he often portrays them as a threat, and he describes the bulk of new arrivals to the United States - Hispanics. - that they are "animals" and invaders.
Charges
As a historian who specializes in anti-immigrant sentiment, he knows that Trump is not the first US president to insult newcomers to the country, but has done so more than any other US president.
Anbender points out that the bias has long referred to the immigrants as labeling them as bringing crime, causing poverty, spreading the disease and not integrating, that they corrupt the policies of the country, steal citizens' jobs and cause tax increases, that they pose a security risk, that their religion is contrary to American values, and that they cannot They are "real Americans."
The writer says that Trump employed each of these accusations, and that no former US president has not adopted this view of the world as a whole.
