The US State Department has an office of remigration. The Holocaust was remigration, when it wasn't straight up murder. Proceed accordingly.

As I recall, it started with remigration, until Nazi officials decided that mass murder was just more efficient than forced relocation.

Brilliant!! Thank you. This is how it happens - how Hitler rose to power, how rich Southern slaveholder oligarchs almost took over the U.S. government in the run-up to our own Civil War. This is the real deal and it's happening NOW, out loud and visible to anyone with an ounce of intelligence. It must be widely confronted and effectively countered.

Absolutely brilliant; a good example of connecting the dots. The questions, I never thought to connect who authorized-funded-oversees-who does it harm? These guidelines are written down on a paper in front of me. I have memorized them. I will NOT be silenced. Ironically, I received a donation request from Turning Point (and Erika, personally…)just the other day. Bingo. Thank you for giving me the power and vocabulary to confront injustice and hate.

I do remember going to work one day at one of the big hospitals in Dallas (have anesthesia machine, will travel is how it works down there). The OR nurse I loved to work with was distraught because her Latino husband was likely to be deported soon, yet there were some workable options available to him. It was gut wrenching. How can you be married to a aspiring citizen, with children born here and the husband and father disappear? And mind you, this was pre-Obama era (Texans hated Obama), shit hole Republican in hiding George bush along with his tv star foil in state Gena bush. They white wash it. But let’s face it, short of drowning people in the Rio Grande, how can you stop people escaping violent, deadly oppression? Mercy. I don’t get it. I never saw that American born (I mean like born in California with mayflower parents), exceptional nurse again. We were much worse off and more-so our patients weren’t as fortunate without her care. And that is north texas. Imagine what it must be like in South texas. I wouldn’t give a butt-plug for that f*ing state.

Thanks for exposing this movement. I think one of the problems with our media and our popular perceptions is that we don’t realize that the views of other countries’ *extremists* are aligned with many of our conservatives’ views. Therefore, extremist views are perceived as mainstream here. The Republicans have been extreme for decades while liberals have been center left. Our whole political outlook has been skewed right for so long that we don’t see it as odd. The danger is grave.

Thank you for this report. I will attempt to distribute it more widely.

The Republican Party decided to get in bed with racists after the civil rights legislation passed during LBJ's presidency. Some of Nixon's staff talked about the war on drugs as a way to subjugate Black Americans.

The late Lee Atwater talked about using code language for the n-word.

None of this is new or surprising. Thrse twisted people are the product of decisions made long ago.

They just say the quiet part out loud.
