Trump's Racist Tirade: A Glimpse into America's Future of Ethnic Cleansing
A recent rally on affordability turned ugly when President Donald Trump called Somali immigrants "disaster" countries. He claimed that he was open to accepting a few people from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark but refused to admit those from Somalia. Trump also mocked Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar's hijab and suggested she leave the country.
The administration's vision is far more sinister than just xenophobia; it aims to create an ethnically cleansed, white US through exclusion and removal of non-white immigrants. They've adopted "reverse migration" as a policy tool, where immigrants are seen as threats to national identity. The proposed "office of remigration" echoes the views of European white supremacists.
This vision is being implemented in policy. The Trump administration has restricted immigration pathways for people from Somalia and other countries deemed " unsafe". Temporary protective status has been canceled for Haitians, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Syrians, and others. Citizenship ceremonies are being cancelled, leaving many deportable to countries with poor conditions. Birthright citizenship, a mechanism that granted citizenship to formerly enslaved Black Americans, is under threat.
Trump has announced plans to cancel birthright citizenship and denaturalize American citizens if he could. In the 20th century, hundreds of thousands were denaturalized due to politicized accusations of fraud or racial ineligibility.
The Supreme Court recently authorized ICE officers to racially profile people, making every person of color a potential target. The mass deportation system is expanding, with millions invested in cyber-surveillance technology that can hack phones and track faces.
Trump's rhetoric on deportations has been debunked by data showing most immigrants have no criminal record. He claims there's "no price tag" on his deportation agenda, despite evidence of absurdities like Somali immigrants contributing $8 billion to Minnesota's economy.
This ethnic cleansing is being executed through brutalization and systematic disinvestment. Trump's policies roll back social spending, denying millions healthcare coverage, food benefits, and welfare benefits. The budget for police and carceral facilities has increased.
The academic institutions are under attack as well, with attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion, students' right to dissent, and affirmative action. This is a nation built on its incredible diversity and freedoms β life, liberty, and justice. The destruction of this diversity will only be accomplished by dismantling all the above, affecting every person within the nation, regardless of their nationality or status.
