So they build an infrastructure, hire a lot of people, get the legal cover they need, deport millions...
Then they have this whole process ready to go with no immigrants left to deport.
Do you think it all gets shut down? Detention centers closed, ICE agents fired, etc?
Or will they feed the new machine with other groups? LGBT? Muslims? Political opponents?
Just food for thought.
In a different part of the world, about 90 years ago, dealing with undesirable people started with prototyping the framework on the weakest individuals.
People with mental disabilities would be shipped to the other end of the country, and there be gassed. Those gassings were in some cases proof of concept for the use of various gasses later on.
I do see the similarities. But I don't believe that the US administration is actively exterminating immigrants. But "at least they're not genocidal" is a pretty low fucking bar to clear. And I'm not sure that we've seen it all yet.
If I was living in the US, I'd get out ASAP. I mean sell my house, even at loss, and GTFO. If being latino with a knuckle tattoo will get you shipped to an El Salvadorian torture prison, what will happen when you post a comment about Trumpaloompa?
Hitler's original plan was to deport all the Jews. Extermination then came as a matter of practicability. Don't let it fool you, this absolutely checks out, they're laying the groundwork for genocide.
When did the German population learn about the gassing?
Many of them literally called it the German equivalent of 'fake news' after Hitler spent many years persecuting the independent press, which he and Himmler would smear with the derogative term 'Lügenpresse'.
One of the many reasons that Eisenhower forced Germans from towns nearby to tour the camps, and had army documenters and media film the camps to later force adult German citizens to watch while under occupation. Many of them simply chose to believe the obvious lies, and ignore all the evidence they'd seen - it was easier than the awful truth.
