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.

    If he is elected it will immediately kick off WW3 and we won’t be on the good side this time. Where are the time travelers to kill Hitler 2?

    It has been a dumping ground for immigrants for a long time. The British used to send their convicts, that didn’t make the cut for hanging but they surely didn’t want in “their” country, here to be slaves.

    Not many people know that between 1718 and 1775 over 52,000 convicts were transported from the British Isles to America, mainly to Maryland and Virginia, to be sold as slaves to the highest bidder. —The History Press

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

    "Give me your tired, your poor,

    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"[12]

    Trump and many of his supporters are bigots: it’s that simple.

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

      Oh, but you said it already. WHITE is the defining difference here. Thats the “Herrenrasse” and brown is “Untermensch”.

      Every good Nazi knows that.

    At work, an old guy was telling me a bunch of really important bits so I started taking notes on my hand because I forgot my notebook. He immediately stopped and said to never do that to my skin. I forgot his actual words but it wasn’t a religious tone at all. It turns out his parents had been in concentration camps.

    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.
