As Freud never said, sometimes a plan to deport illegal immigrants is just a plan to deport illegal immigrants.
Trump’s rhetoric about mass deportations, which has been more extravagant and pungent than usual, has catalyzed more denunciations of the former president as an incipient fascist.
We are supposed to believe that it is a page from the classic fascist playbook for a politician to watch a country get flooded with illegal aliens, permitted into the country in defiance of the laws by a pliant administration, and then to seek, after winning a democratic election, to return some of these illegal immigrants to their home countries.
We’ve seen it so many times before!
