It’s official: Donald Trump’s plan for massive deportations would apply to legal immigrants, as well as undocumented immigrants.

During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.

“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.

“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.

“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

    You know, this guy somehow sounds more and more like an actual Nazi every day. I’m starting to think he might have actual racist views and desires that will really fuck things up.

    (/s since I always forget it’s not obvious, clearly a Nazi offspring has Nazi views)

    So he’s gonna send his wife back? Sounds about right since she said she supports abortion.

      The headline makes this sound more encompassing than what he says. Revoking temporary legal status is different than revoking from people with green cards or naturalized citizens. I don’t agree with what he’s saying he will do, but it’s worth clarifying which group of people this actually effects.

        It’s all stepping stones for them. That’s why they say everything they don’t like is a slippery slope, because that’s how they work.

        Like it just happened. First it was illegal, now it’s the legal temporary. Next it will be legal _____, etc, etc.

          Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That’s why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.

        Is it worth? He didn’t care for what status or protection this specific group had. It’s not like he’s making an argument for that type of asylum. If it’s mexican greencard holders he thinks are eating the dogs, they’ll be next.

        The headline is accurate, he wants to deport people who are in the US lawfully.

        They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in

    I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say “we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants.” Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they’re full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.

    You’d think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren’t born here, but it barely seems to register.

    As someone who’s regularly been to Springfield, oh over the last decade. It’s not a beautiful place, it hasnt been for a long time. Most of downtown had been hollowed out and turned into parking lots, other buildings are deep in disrepair, which is contributing reason why it’s not recovered as quickly as neighboring cities like Dayton, Urbana, and Xenia.

    It’s a hard hit rust belt city, long dealing with addiction and other deaths of despair.

    To be quite fair, if he’s elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I’ll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he’s also a threat to the world, though— there’s a reason I’m not really hearing “if he’s elected, I’m moving away” stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.

    During his first administration, Trump rescinded Temporary Protective Status orders for immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Sudan, Nepal, and Honduras, placing hundreds of thousands of legal residents at risk for deportation.
