When it comes to immigration in the US they have a saying:
If he's black... send him back. If he's white... he's all right.
Does that explain the current US government position?

They've recently been arresting white-skinned people from traditional white and western countries as well, such as Germany. What's more, we're not even talking about just sending them back anymore. That, I could even kinda live with, even if it is both unethical and stupid (the US needs those people's cheap labor). We're talking about locking them up without trial or any process whatsoever in illegal torture prisons.
I’m not American so have given up trying to understand the actions of a mad man.
The issue is not that it's the action of one mad man.
The dude has been elected by a lot of people thinking that his ideas were the way to go. To me that's the real issue. Trump himself could vanish he would as quickly be replaced by some variant with very similar ideas... And that wouldn't change much (save maybe that this other person would be less orange and less illiterate? Maybe)
You've hit the nail on the head. As weird and hard to believe as it seems right now, it's not Trump himself who will be our biggest problem in the mid to long term. It's who ever comes after him who he and his followers are paving the way for now.
Trump so far has been of a somewhat limited dangerousness for freedom and democracy so far, not because his views and convictions are not dangerous enough, but because he's simply too incompetent to be properly dangerous. There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.

CoughVanceCough. He is bright & very smart, powerful, and young. His Munich speech for example, even though too many of my EU fellow citizens (and representatives as well) dismissed it as non-sense and mean, was quite articulated (very hypocritical too, but that's not the point) and, well, quite informative on what the USA want to do and what the USA will do.
And so is Bessent, in a less rhetorician way even though I don't imagine him becoming a leader but that's just my gut feeling ;)
My bet is on Musk taking Trump's place.

No, you're not American because you simply don't understand a quarter of a thing of what happens in a country you don't live in or take time in understanding. Fixed that for you. Your entire post is nothing but babbling, so I don't know why you even bothered writing at all.
By the way, get out of my country.
Found the AI slop to 'persuade' people. The entire account looks sus.
I see you're inline with the american administration.
The situation in your country can be accurately described by people not from there. You guys aren't that complex.
Nah. Love, formerly in Brexit Britain.
Great comment here. Really contributing meaningfully.
No, because that's not how fascism works.
Ah yes, because fascists don't create in groups based on skin colour.
Goof.
And that South African white guy has said he was an illegal immigrant so he could be quickly disappeared.
But don't you know that some are more equal than others?
I think you figured it out. It's not about immigrants, it's about undesirables.
And those can be political or social - look up the first targets of German or USSR occupation in 1939 Poland, or who Khmer Rouge killed.
The goal is to keep the docile, undeducated masses, and everyone that "stirs the pot" gets erased.
Scapegoats. It's about scapegoats.
Because it's not a out nationality. It's about being white.
Because it's not a out nationality. It's about being white and Evangelical Christian.
Nah
This is why I find the USA being so anti immigration ridiculous
Because it's eugenics, always has been, it's just now recently a lot more obvious to people, been happening for decades. They want to put in laws that are so broad that they can arrest and deport people to death camps of anybody they deam not worthy, the gays queers black people, disabled etc. Most people are shocked that this is happening but it's been happening for decades in Amerikkka, it's just now a lot lot more open and obvious, and more extreme.
