WTF?
We are well aware that the GOP and its mouthpiece, Trump, have this burning desire to punish people with brown skin and his newest intent has people scratching their heads….
What has them confused? The term ‘remigration’.
Donald Trump took to Truth Social to elaborate on how he would “end the migrant invasion of America.” The candidate for president—who has repeatedly vowed to conduct the largest mass deportation campaign in US history—exhumed the usual laundry list: He would “stop all migrant flights,” do away with the Biden administration’s Customs and Border Protection mobile app, and halt refugee resettlement. None of these proposals are new or surprising coming from the Trump campaign.
But one part of the GOP nominee’s weekend post stood out. “[We will] return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration),” Trump wrote. Former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller reposted it, saying “THE TRUMP PLAN TO END THE INVASION OF SMALL TOWN AMERICA: REMIGRATION!”
What did Trump and Miller mean by “remigration”? Even seasoned immigration policy analysts had to look the term up:

What did Trump and Miller mean by “remigration”? Even seasoned immigration policy analysts had to look the term up:
“Remigration,” as a 2019 article about the rise of extreme anti-immigrant language in Europe from the Associated Press explains, is the “chilling notion of returning immigrants to their native lands in what amounts to a soft-style ethnic cleansing.” The word stands in for a policy that entails the forced repatriation or mass expulsion of non–ethnically European immigrants and their descendants, regardless of citizenship. With little fanfare, Trump seems to be hinting at bringing an even more radical idea into his immigration proposals (to Miller’s all-capped cheers) that goes further than the mass deportation of the undocumented population.
Trump Just Introduced a New, Dangerous Immigration Proposal
I still do not see how the major issues that the GOP embraces will improve American’s daily lives.
Anything to add?

This might well appeal to the lowest common denominator of voters. The racists, those who blame immigrants for everything, and just plain nasty people! Putting it into practice is another thing altogether though, and will come up against the laws of other countries as well as the condemnation of the UN and other world bodies.
Best wishes, Pete.
These low lifes hate the UN and any other body their hatred is more widespread than even I can imagine…..but this type of idle promise garners votes and that is what it is all about. chuq
For anyone around the world reading this: I would like to apologize on behalf of the sane people who live in the US…we are not all bigots, racists, homophobes or sexist pigs. Sadly, one candidate for the office of the President of the United States is all that and more. Remember that every single wife of his is an immigrant.
Marla Maples Trump. Look her up.
Well said….least we be judged by our ‘fearless leader’…..chuq
How are those three red light, one fire engine, four police cars and a six bed clinic hospital towns supposed to handle all the people that arrive ? That aside if the president and his administration and political party have dismissed immigration protocols and opened the doors and have encouraged the migration, perhaps they people should not be considered illegal as they’ve been invited.
He was a white guy from Hawaii….he was in Palm Beach….chuq
I have a problem with these ideas chuq
