They don’t need to see how the Nazis did it.  
We have our own game plans we can trot back out from the 1930s and 1955.  
How’s that song go?
 “We’ve done it before and we can do it again”

“These were the “repatriation drives,” a series of informal raids that took place around the United States during the Great Depression. Local governments and officials deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico, according to research conducted by Joseph Dunn,[b] a former California state senator. Dunn estimates around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens, many of them born in the U.S. to first-generation immigrants. For these citizens, deportation wasn’t “repatriation”—it was exile from their country[/b]”

That's the fear, IMO. This will lead to profiling, and fear, such that all brown looking people will feel the need to carry around their birth certificate or passport to prove that they are US citizens.

There are some Hispanics who support Trump, and it would be the height of irony for these  people to get rounded up. It's like that restaurant owner in the midwest who voted for Trump, then her illegal immigrant husband who had lived here for over a decade got deported. She thought Trump would only go after "those" people, not her husband.  How stupid she was.

You act as if the Hispanic vote is a single bloc. It is not. Several of my Hispanic neighbors from Argentina, Uraguay, Peru and other places are frustrated by those who didn’t go through proper channels. Heck, even a couple from Cuba who came in a boat and sought asylum are frustrated. And don’t forget Hispanics who have been here for generations.

[b]What these friends and neighbors with Spanish accents are frustrated about is being lumped into an assumption that they must’ve come without going through the legal process to be here. [/b][/quote]
Well, that's what ICE will do. Read up on how they conducted mass deportations back in the early 20th century.  So, if they vote for Trump and this happens to them, karma.

Speaking of Cubans, they are the worst hypocrites in terms of illegal immigrants seeking asylum in this country.[/quote]

I am familiar with deportations back then as I have relatives who were deported. I also have also known people who overstayed their student visas and were deported. They were all European. Everyone who comes here should be vetted and then vetted again before getting citizenship. I have no issue deporting people who do not qualify to be here. [/quote]

+1 seriously. [/quote]
