Trump’s Immigration Plan Just Went to a Terrifying New Extreme

“Donald Trump took his promise of the largest mass deportations in U.S. history to horrific new heights over the weekend, when he promised to begin a policy called ‘remigration.’ … Whenever [Ste[hen] Miller, with his affinity for white nationalism, backs up an immigration policy, one can usually assume it’s for the purpose of making America a white nation — and lo and behold, that’s exactly what ‘remigration’ means. The Associated Press described ‘remigration’ in 2019 as ‘the chilling notion of returning immigrants to their native lands in what amounts to a soft-style ethnic cleansing.’ Remigration means not just deportation but the forcible return of non-ethnically European immigrants and their families, regardless of their actual citizenship. The horrific policy proposal is a direct response to the racist ‘great replacement’ theory, which has been pushed by many right-wing U.S. politicians, including J.D. Vance.” (09/18/24)
