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.

I genuinely appreciate the response but they're not citizens... However their children might be as a result of *incredibly* bad policy.
We're one of eight nations on earth that granted birthright citizenship to the product of illegal immigrants unconditionally. Why are we the bad guys for enforcing what almost every other country on the planet (including all of Europe) does already?
When you deport these people without due process, that��s fascist.
What due process is needed for illegal immigrants? If they're citizens it's pretty damn simple to produce documentation proving your right to be here. US citizens aren't getting caught up in this *unless the schools are refusing to work with law enforcement* and they're forced to go in blind and profile based on reports and suspicions, which in my view is entirely reasonable. Sanctuary cities are creating conditions in which they're unable to operate efficiently and then riling up their base with the end result.
When you put people in concentration camps and hold them indefinitely while capitalizing on their labor, that’s fascist.
As opposed to capitalizing on their labor on the outside? Because I keep hearing the **incredibly racist argument** that 'who is gonna pick the crops and clean your toilets if you deport them??? I don't want slumlords and capitalists exploiting these people either.

How productive can illegal immigrants honestly be living in the gaps of society without any ability to bank or pay taxes?
