Trump keeps repeating that as president he will deal harshly with immigrants and refugees (European)

An American writer warned of the "dangerous repercussions" of former US President Donald Trump's return to power in the United States, especially what he intends to do regarding immigrants and refugees in terms of illegal measures.

Addressing Americans who are looking to the former president to fix the border crisis with Mexico, Patricia Lopez said that they should be aware of the strict and fanatical police state policies that he will use to rid America of “the vermin that poison the country’s blood,” using expressions that Trump had previously applied to refugees.

The writer added, in her column for Bloomberg News, that Trump’s immigration plan would revive the dark past of the United States, warning that this man would free the hand of federal authorities, law enforcement agencies, and National Guard forces to launch large-scale raids on homes to arrest “illegal” immigrants. ", and throw them into concentration camps, and will also work to expand the scope of the process that allows their expulsion "without following legal procedures."

Rather, it will ban the entry of people from Muslim-majority countries, revoke the right to acquire American citizenship by birth, and expel even refugees who were previously allowed to live in the United States temporarily for humanitarian considerations, according to the Bloomberg article.

The author warned that this policy is not the “delusion” of a man who wants to become a “dictator,” but rather it is a pre-prepared plan, and there are people ready to put it into effect.

Lopez said that although these plans will face legal challenges, which could end up in the Supreme Court, Trump's advisors believe they have found ways to achieve their goals within prevailing laws.

Once again, the writer directs her speech to the Americans, saying, “If you think that you are safe because you are not one of these (immigrants), then you should think again.” This is because Trump plans to target both illegal and legal immigration - including the use of “ideological” screening. Enhanced to get rid of those he considers undesirable people and reduce the numbers of asylum seekers, refugees and quotas allocated for immigration of citizens from countries he hates.

To confirm her conclusions, Lopez quoted Stephen Miller - whom she describes as the “spiteful” architect of Trump’s immigration policies - as saying to right-wing extremist Charlie Kirk in an interview in February: “I don’t care what happens in this world. If I return If President Trump is elected, the borders will be closed, the military will be deployed, the National Guard will be activated, and illegal immigrants will return home.”

Miller: I don't care what happens in this world.

If President Trump is reelected, the borders will be closed, the military will be deployed, the National Guard will be activated, and illegal immigrants will return home

The writer goes on to say that it is unfortunate that there is a model for Trump to follow in his plans to deport immigrants, which is a “shameful” part of American history that few people believe can be revived again.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower launched widespread arrests of Mexican citizens who swam the Rio Grande River on the southern border to enter the United States in search of work.

An estimated 1.3 million individuals were kidnapped from homes and workplaces and dumped in random cities in Mexico.

The raids swept American citizens of Mexican origin and were deported.

Lopez warned again that that number will double now, as millions of immigrants will be deported, not just one million as happened in 1954. “The tearing apart of communities, the racial profiling and harassment of anyone who is not white, and people being repeatedly asked to prove their citizenship, are things that the United States has never seen.” "It is unprecedented, and brings to mind stories from Nazi Germany."

She advised current President Joe Biden to take swift and decisive action on immigration, and to go beyond his powers by issuing executive orders in this regard.
