August 31, 2016:
“Within just a few years, immigration, as a share of national population is set to break all historical records.
The time has come for a new immigration commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration system in order to achieve the following goals; — > to keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms.”
— Donald Trump, republican presidential candidate. 8/31/2016
I’ll get back to that dog-whistle (bullhorn) in a moment
Pure white supremacy talk there. All the rest of Trump’s bloviating is bullshit. It’s been exhaustively studied and documented
I doubt that when Trump vowed he’d “enact the David-Oliver Bill” (Act), as spelled out here by the white supremacist CIS, he had any idea about the particulars of 287(g) that “conservative” law enforcement institutions were exploiting as a cash cow. Or as one Tennessee sheriff boasted: as part of his toolkit to "stack these violators like cordwood." , enabling what Civil liberties groups (ACLU) called a vehicle for racial and ethnic profiling. Just another “growth industry” akin to the cradle to prison pipeline of the PIC that republican profiteers aren’t willing to let go of
The fact is, Sanctuary Cities are safer and that immigrants of all kinds are actually less likely to commit crimes than those born inside the United States
Just two things that Trump dutifully parroted tonight for the “conservative” cause that stood out from the incoherence:
• attack sanctuary cities by expanding 287(g) — (PIC profiteering/racial & ethnic profiling on steroids)
• ”keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms” — iow’s a white majority — (Thx republicans: Pat Buchanan. Phyliss Schlafly, Paul Weyrich et al)
Wow. “historical norms” huh. An absolute load of manufactured nonsense, that one. I’d laugh out loud at the idiocy involved in thinking that one up and then selling it if the intent wasn’t so hurtful and cruel. So.. that should be easy for the Trump sycophants (read white only audience) to feed on
— I do wonder though if the audience this massive fear-mongering dog-whistle was intended to fire up will understand anymore of the underlying GOP agenda than Trump does
All the rest was more of the same hate speech. Another typical tweekered up load of “conservative” movement fear based trash talk — tapping out his 2nd amendment threats in the typical racist code — imo
