    Why does immigrant mean someone who looks different? That seems like a strange assumption imo

    Fair question.

    Politicians talk as if immigration enforcement only affects immigrants. But the data shows that plenty of citizens who look vaguely foriegn suffer substantially.

    Citizens who look like immigrants end up living in fear - which could easily be seen as “by design” when compared to historic playbooks where intimidation and distraction were key components for awful people to stay in power.
