How is it fascist to deport people who enter and reside in our country illegally?
Whole lotta downvotes and not a single answer to the question. Got it. Thank you for reinforcing my belief that you guys are nuts. No wonder you lost the house+senate+supreme court+presidency.

The downvotes are because the comment is stupid and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding (willful or not) of the movement you support.
Enforcing laws, immigration laws included, is not inherently fascist.
But when you start enforcing those laws in a way that ends up with American citizens being rounded up and deported because your leader says they and their family are “poisoning the blood of the nation,” that’s fascist.
When you deport these people without due process, that’s fascist.
When you put people in concentration camps and hold them indefinitely while capitalizing on their labor, that’s fascist.
When you send jack-booted government thugs into schools and houses of worship demanding “show me your papers,” that’s fascist.
When you demonize a whole group of people, the vast majority of which are honest and productive members of society, to act as a scapegoat so you can consolidate power and wealth, that’s fascist.
Hope this helps.
