A MAGA Victory in 2024 Will Lead to Ethnic Cleansing

The Left must grasp the stakes and meet the moment
 

There is no hidden agenda for Donald Trump and his MAGA movement that has taken over the Republican Party. “Make America Great Again” openly leads the nation backward to what should have been a defeated political idea, that of the Confederacy. 
This New Confederacy promises unabashed white supremacy, disdain and hatred of those born in what they call the “shithole countries” of the global South, dictatorial presidential powers, repression of dissent, and the use of mob violence domestically and military adventurism internationally to enforce its political agenda. 
Trump started the year—even while facing civil and criminal trials involving more than 91 indictments—by releasing a comprehensive political program that he promises to immediately implement if elected president in November 2024. The centerpiece of his vision is a wish list of right-wing ethnic cleansing policies meant to secure and institutionalize white minority rule, with repercussions for the world, but especially for the people of Mexico and Latin America. Here are some of the horrific details.
​
Mass Deportations
Trump is calling for mass deportation of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, the great majority of whom are Mexican, but who also include Central Americans, Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, Chinese, and Muslims. The New York Times on November 11th ran an article titled “Sweeping Raids, Giant Camps, and Mass Deportations: Inside Trump’s 2025 Immigration Plans.” The article provides a chilling description of the plan: “To help speed mass deportations, Mr. Trump is preparing an enormous expansion of a form of removal that does not require due process hearings.” He wants to build massive deportation camps to house the millions of immigrants and refugees they plan to remove from the US. Trump has publicly compared his plan to the infamous “Operation Wetback” of the Eisenhower administration, in which millions of Chicanos and Mexicanos, many of them US citizens, were rounded up and deported to Mexico. 
Most people don’t realize the horrendously broad impact of these policies, not only on those rounded up and shipped out, but on their families, their communities, on schools, local businesses, churches, and faith organizations, and unions with large numbers of immigrant worker members.
To help Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry out sweeping raids, Trump plans to reassign other federal agents and deputize local police officers and National Guard soldiers voluntarily contributed by Republican-run states. He would pay for this terror project by using money from the massive US military budget, as he did during his first administration when Congress refused to fund his infamous border wall.
An End to Legal Immigration
Unlike during his first administration, Trump’s plan assumes broad judicial support from the reactionary Supreme Court majority that he appointed as well as from the hundreds of federal judges that he appointed during his administration.
The racist neo-fascist agenda includes ending the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program altogether. It also includes ending the Temporary Protected Status Program that provides refuge for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing systemic violence or natural disasters.
