A political agenda based on the belief that America will only be great again if we deport as many folks as we can is disgusting . These beliefs snack of a period in European history that resulted in untold horrors. Which started out with deportation and evolved into extermination.

Granted, it is a violation of our law to enter this country without the appropriate documentation. The law should be enforced, but without serving political purposes. Focusing on violators, not because they broke the law, but race, religion or ethnic origin only moves us closer to fascism.

Fascism is by definition “an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.”

It usually takes the form of unbridled power, devoid of any oversite as provided for by the “advise and consent” clause of the constitution. Trump has indicated he wants to appoint folks to carry out his policies without any input from congress.

Several GOP legislators are willing to support him in this objective. If he is allowed to accomplish this, we are moving closer to making Trump a monarch. Future leaders will not be chosen by the vote, but who is next in succession. That is what Trump meant by his statement "vote for me and you will never have to vote again." This is not what the founding fathers envisioned.
