They will absolutely throw US citizens out of the country because they “look foreign”. This happened decades ago, and it will certainly happen again. They will absolutely throw asylum seekers out of the country, in violation of international treaty. They will absolutely disenfranchise anyone they feel like. They will absolutely ignore the Bill of Rights.
Remember, my friends, the Bill of Rights protects all people in the US, not only the citizens. Everyone, regardless of citizenship, has the right to due process. But will the courts care?
