Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”

Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

Misleading headline. He said they know their serial numbers. Which means they already have them. Which is worse.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Huh, I did NOT SEE that coming.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

You mean you did nazi that coming?

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 54 points 8 hours ago

Oh, I know! Tattoo them on their forearms and maybe they could wear some kind of sign on their clothing. Wouldn't that be neat.

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Maybe a little, gold sombrero on an armband.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 4 hours ago

Hey hey hey let's not just assume they're all Mexican! Let's just make a brown smiley face patch so we can include everyone they'll be deporting.

:(

Fox News for the next month if Harris said anything close to this:

Trump needs to stop being bossy.

One more fucking time for the Rubepublicans in the back:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

That is on the door step of our nation. This is who we should be, and the only way to build a stronger America for a stronger mankind.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

And if they won't take that American belief than how about the Christian beliefs? Proverbs 19:17, Leviticus 19:33-34

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Timothy 2:23 and Timothy 2:25

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago* (last edited 4 minutes ago)

How's that twink from Dune relevant here?🤔

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

It's almost if these nut jobs have never read the Bible 🤔

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

It is pretty long and it don't even talk normal. It is easier to just wear a cross and put a sticker on the back of your pavement princess.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

Just cherry picked parts of Leviticus, Judges, and Revelation

Term and conditions were appended in 2019

“Give me your tired, your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge,” Immigration Director Ken Cuccinelli said Tuesday morning during an interview with NPR.

When asked what he thinks America stands for, Cuccinelli said that the poem was referencing immigrants coming from Europe.

"Of course that poem was referring to people coming from Europe where they had class-based societies, people were considered wretched if they weren't in the right class"

What an ass. It wasn't the high class Europeans that were coming here to get a fresh start.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

There was a Facebook meme of the Statue of Liberty helping build Trump's wall. I was just like, have you fucking idiots never heard of Emma Lazarus?

[-] satanmat@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 10 hours ago

I wonder where he got that genius idea? What a waste of carbon.

[-] HorreC@lemmy.world 76 points 11 hours ago

we wouldnt be so crass to tattoo this number on them would we? Maybe we just chip them like animals.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago

Can't wait for "ear tags" to be suggested.

This has reached the point where it feels wrong to be joking with it. It's like he's not ever trying to hide it

The qons have put away the dog whistle and brought out a tuba.

It's positively inführeating.

It's göring to come back and bite them.

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 32 points 10 hours ago

They say history repeats itself, but I thought we were kinda over the holocaust thing for a few more centuries.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 35 points 10 hours ago

Well, there's a war in Europe, we had a global pandemic, and fascism is on the rise, so we're just doing an early 20th century rerun.

Of course, history doesn't exactly rhyme, which is why Israel is the one doing the holocausting this time.

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 6 points 8 hours ago

You would think they, of all people would know better.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.

I swear he's just playing into the Christians belief in an antichrist so he gets their support in destroying the world and bringing back white Jesus with the cum gutter abs

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

white Jesus with the cum gutter abs

Yoai Jesus.

[-] nnullzz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Praying for Armageddon is a really good documentary about this very thing.

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 10 points 10 hours ago

roses are red violets are blue

they don't think it be like it is

but it do.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 15 points 10 hours ago

Headline is misleading. Based on his statements, Trump thinks they already have serial numbers.

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Doesn't really make it better...

[-] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

They always seem to forget that every white person in the U.S. has immigrants in their family history.

This Bloke has really broken Godwin's law hasn't he?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Godwin himself called off that rule some number of years ago...

[-] Thecornershop@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Hmm, I missed that. Wow.
