Every time America has done this, it was wrong. Operation Wetback was wrong 55 yrs ago. Trump’s deportation & asylum denial is wrong today. Now or 55 yrs ago, the rejection of Hispanic immigrants is rooted in white nationalism.
The lies & the myths of white nationalism must be challenged by a movement that brings black, brown, white & Native together to deal w/ the realities of poverty. We can’t let lies pit us against each other. We must challenge Trump & his enablers, but they are just the symptom.
We must challenge the lie of white nationalism that America has never fully and deeply faced—the myth that gave rise to Trumpism. We cannot say “we’ve never seen this before” or that any one president can solve it.
