That's precisely the logic that fascists use to exterminate their enemies. I'd rather not share a quality with fascists.
To be fair it's not precisely the same logic because fascism is a choice you make, not something you're born as.
ThePantser and the other commenter are making the choice to dehumanize their enemy. I don't understand the difference you're trying to distinguish.
Nazis: "These aren't people because they were never people."
ThePantser: "These aren't people anymore because of choices they made."
One could argue that it's heavy-handed or dangerous or something, but it's not the same logic.
Trump and his ilk are dehumanizing immigrants, people who made a choice.
Don't become them.
If your point is that Trump is also dehumanizing others, you won't find disagreement with me. I don't take it as a refutation of my point. I think I've made my stance quite clear and I'll leave it here.
My refutation of your point is that this was never about immigrants.
