110. It has never been about immigrants

Don't buy into that line. Of course the whole thing targets minorities, and people are being terrorized and arrested regardless of their legal status. People are arrested or giving suspected undocumented people a ride to work, or a meal, or a place to sleep. There is talk of eliminating "birthright citizenship." People need to understand what that means, why it is being talked about.

They are it talking about deporting Melania Trump. They are not planning on taking away citizenship from the many babies born here to Russian nationals.

Yes, the Republicans say that it is just about "illegal immigrants" as if there is such a thing. I wouldn't take them at their word.

As far as looking for "the wording" goes about their intentions, that is a fool's errand. Exactly when the decision was made that led to the Holocaust is not known. We know about the Wannsee Conference, yes.

"At some still undetermined time in 1941, Adolf Hitler authorized this European-wide scheme for mass murder. Heydrich convened the Wannsee Conference:

• to inform and secure support from government ministries and other interested agencies relevant to the implementation of the “Final Solution”

• to disclose to the participants that Hitler himself had tasked Heydrich and the RSHA with coordinating the operation

"The men at the table did not deliberate whether such a plan should be undertaken, but instead discussed the implementation of a policy decision that had already been made at the highest level of the Nazi regime."
