It is fascinating that conservatives of all stripes never fail to blame all of the nations woes on anything or anyone except Republicans who are responsible for the lions share of problems Americans experience. If it is not the Democrats, it is the African American President, non-Christians, liberals, women, socialists, gays, birth control, science and even public education. Throughout the nations history, though, it has been a uniquely American characteristic to blame all the countrys problems on immigrants.
It hardly mattered if it was Italian, Polish, Catholic, Irish, or any number of Slavic people settling in America, many of them undocumented, there was always a new group to single out for discrimination and extraordinarily harsh treatment; today it is immigrants of color. It is just the way that a significant number of citizens in an exceptional nation naturally act. For over a decade at least, many politicians, even Republicans like John McCain and George W. Bush, advocated for comprehensive immigration reform to calm the conservative outrage that people of color want to experience what it is like to live and raise families in a friendly nation like America. But now since Republicans have officially become anti-immigration and anti-Latino, their big ideas for comprehensive immigration reform include shredding the Constitution, deploying armed vigilantes on the Southern border, and the two latest abominations; using weaponized drones to bomb Hispanics and enslaving immigrants as property of the state and compelling them to perform hard labor; a violation of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Despite the substantial nativist and bigoted segment of the population that detests the idea of their white America being populated with people of color, no matter what color, even Donald Trump believed that targeting Hispanic immigrants was maniacal and mean-spirited just three years ago.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Trump lashed out at Willard Romneys idea of immigration reform centered on a crazy self-deportation policy for non-European immigrants. Donald Trump said, He (Willard) has a crazy policy of self-deportation which was maniacal. It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote. He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.
Of course now that he understands the barbaric and evil nature of the Republican base, and just how bigoted they are against people of color, Trump says his immigration reform policy will be a multi-faceted approach including shredding the Constitution, declaring war on Mexico, closing down trade (an embargo) with Americas third largest trade partner, confiscating all wages earned by immigrants, force Mexico to pay for and build an American-side defensive border wall, and demand that Mexicans pay war reparations due to defeat at the hands of America. However, as maniacal, crazy, and mean-spirited as Trumps 2015 immigration reform plan seems, it falls short of calling in Americas military leaders to bomb Mexicans with weaponized drones, or enslaving them and making them property of the state.
