To say Donald Trump is obsessed with immigrants would be an epic understatement. From the moment he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his 2016 presidential campaign through his 2024 bid to reclaim the White House, The Donald hasn’t hidden his racism and bigotry and devotion to white nationalism.
As he prepares to take office a second time on Jan. 20, Trump vows to carry out the largest mass deportation in American history, roundups that could snag U.S. citizens, too, and separate families – those who have citizenship can stay, those who don’t get the boot. He even wants to eliminate birthright citizenship.
Not surprisingly Trump’s bluster and threats are having a chilling effect on the estimated 90,000 undocumented immigrants living in Oklahoma. For our latest Observercast – Loving Your Neighbor As Yourself – Norman Rep. Annie Menz, a member of the Oklahoma Legislature’s Latino Caucus, joins us for a deep dive into the implications and potential repercussions of Trump’s plans on immigrants living in Oklahoma, on law enforcement, on businesses and on communities.
