Second, while Trump was running in this last year and a half, Trump and the entire GOP have embraced a very extreme and very damaging narratives around immigrants, blaming them for everything under the sun, from crime to invasion to try to replace “white people,” “real Americans.” Because we know all of that, it’s hard to believe what they’re spinning right now.
The last piece of evidence for that is people like Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, who are obviously key figures in the Trump administration, have the intention and the desire, and they have been very clear about their plans to target as many people as possible. Tom Homan, in previous interviews, have said things like no one is off the table, meaning that they’re going to deport anyone that they deem should not be here. From what we have heard, it’s pretty much undocumented immigrants, period.
