Because his base can not stand the fact that "dam' furriners" have more than they do. Never mind that the immigrants worked hard for what they have. Never mind that they have spouses and children who are U.S. citizens. Never mind that they were brought to the country as children. Never mind that they are veterans. Trumps lazy, undereducated, methe addicted base hates the fact that someone whom they consider "inferior" is doing so well, when their own lives are such a mess. This is the real reason that Trump's immigration department targets hard working immigrants. Trump will never deliver on his promises of jobs and healthcare, but he can carry out an ethnic purging that will make the base forget that they are still under employed and under insured.
The fact the immigrants have stable, happy non methe addicted families, the fact that they served their country and started businesses--- to Trump' s base this is just salt in the wound of their self hatred.
Anyone out there cheering as hard working immigrants are deported--- you are a loser and you will always be a loser. Your ancestors probably had their photographs taken during lynchings and mailed them as postcards for all to see. To you, what Trump is doing to immigrants is the next best thing to a good old fashioned lynching, and you and your kind make true Americans sick.

(3,494 posts)and that feeling is justifiable. There was some hyperbole, but so what. People are mad as hell. DU can be a safe place to vent. If this poster is like me, s/he needs to vent before returning to a family that is completely seduced by the tRump and Repug lies and propaganda. Vent, I say. We're here to support each other through this hell.
