Well I'm not speaking to the ethics of it. I know that there is not a country on the planet that does not enforce its borders or arrest/deport those who entered illegally. I'm just saying it is not fascism, no matter who does it.

it is fascism when it is done in the name of racial purity. gop politicians like mtg and mike lee believe in the "great replacement," that "democrat costal elites" (read: jews) are replacing the white homeland with dangerous foreign invaders to influence elections and steal jobs from the white man

i also don't understand how you can say the deportations were worse before when trump just made ICE the most well-funded "law enforcement" agency in our country, possibly the world, and stephen miller is pushing quotas of thousands per day, having ice bust people at their places of work

Under Obama and Biden terms (12 years) there were about 10 million deportations. Under Trumps 1st term, 3.3M. I don't know what the current count is. I doubt it's going to hit Obama (Deporter In Chief, remember?).

And I know it's a lot more sensationalized now. And the agents are wearing masks. But when the Dems were doing EXACTLY the same methods, they didn't have an international spotlight and magnifying glass on every single raid. So I believe this is all about politics.

the left criticized obama for mass deportations. DACA was a big deal. the right WANTS mass deportations. DACA recipients are being detained/deported. you can't have this both ways
