Hispanics Face American "Krystallnacht" In The Future.

It is very likely that ICE will start raids ASAP. I do believe that is one promise you can count on. And I do believe it will be like a blitzkrieg coming fast and furious. I feel sad for what we have become.

That's for starters. Those are the two industries that will tank first if we start sending millions of people away.

Construction is probably next, then discount retailers in areas in those states where there are a lot of undocumented immigrants.

There will be a domino effect after that once all four of those industries start having problems.

Florida,and the Carolina's. House listings and Rental listings start to spike. Major processing Companies in these areas. Another area will be Nebraska and South Dakota with their large Packing House operations as well as Dairy Plants. There again,watch the rental listings as well as job postings.

It would be real easy for the storm troopers to start with them.

Farmers and restaurant owners and construction companies and lawn service companies might have no workers to do the work. These business owners are generally GOP supporters, so what will they ask of their Senators and Representatives?

So when Dump deports or drives away millions the republican businesses involved will cry to him to outlaw all welfare and food assistance so the unemployed will be forced to do the jobs.

Oh and kill the minimum wage as well.

there will be no one to buy what is produced or imported. The GOP economic system is unsustainable in the long term. It is built on speculation and debt.

It was instigated by the state's propaganda, but the actual attacks were largely perpetrated by citizens against their fellow citizens.

And in that situation (attacked by angry mobs in your house) my Hispanic wife knows exactly where my rifle and extra magazines are stored in case I'm not home at the time, and I know damn well she'll kill anyone who comes near our daughter with ill intent.

On the night Trump won, she looked at me and said "Thank God I'm married to a white man." What the fuck happened that we came to this?

I am so sick to my stomach over this. I had no idea that there was such hatred in this country. I am sorry for your wife, I hope she never has a need to use that gun.

A Mexican senator has already proposed invalidating the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo if Dump invalidates NAFTA or does mass deportations.

That 1848 treaty ceded the present American southwest to the US.

Kristallnacht (German pronunciation: [kʁɪsˈtalna?t]; English: "Crystal Night&quot or Reichskristallnacht [ˌʁaɪçs.kʁɪsˈtalna?t], also referred to as the Night of Broken Glass, Reichspogromnacht [ˌʁaɪçs.poˈɡʁoːmna?t] or simply Pogromnacht [poˈɡʁoːmna?t] ( listen), and Novemberpogrome [noˈvɛmbɐpoɡʁoːmə] ( listen), was a pogrom against Jews throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938, carried out by SA paramilitary forces and German civilians. German authorities looked on without intervening.[1][2] The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed.[3] source: wiki


While I don't know if what you predict will happen (I wouldn't be surprised), if there is a Kristallnacht, it will be multiple groups who are affected. GLBT-, Jewish-, Latino-, Black-, and a list of others-owned businesses will be targeted (area of the country will determine which groups get hit). Unlike the Nazis, the incoming administration won't ignore it, but they sure as fuck won't do anything about it other than a "Tut-tut! Now, that shouldn't be."
