[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are over 65M Hispanic people in the US. If you just do the math, you'll see this isn't a rational fear. Don't hang out in Home Depot parking lots, don't join a gang, don't live in a homeless encampment dominated by illegal immigrants and you'll never even see an ICE officer. [/quote]

I disagree.  I’m not even Hispanic and I’m worried.  Trump’s already fiddling with the (Constitutional) rules for citizenship and talking about sending American citizens to foreign prisons.

I think Trump, like most dictators, doesn’t really care about most issues, they’re just tools to secure the only thing he actually cares about - his own power.  (Remember when to secure aid to Ukraine, Biden negotiated a deal with Congressional Republicans to crack down on illegal immigration and Trump nixed it because he’d much rather exploit the problem for his personal political gain than to address it.)  Sure, he’s happy to deport Hispanic immigrants.  He can use those deportations to claim he’s fulfilling his campaign promises and solidify his power, and he certainly doesn’t care about the individual lives that are being devastated, because they have nothing to do with him.  However, ICE is struggling to meet his arrest quotas, we’re running out of “the worst of the worst”, and yet he’s starting to expand the countries he’s sending people to and building new prison camps in America.  Immigrant or not, dictators never have trouble finding people to arrest, and “the worst of the worst”, whatever it originally meant, is usually reduced to anyone that’s the tyrant imagines might be a threat to what’s most important, his own power.
