It turns out that Donald Trump was completely serious when he said he wanted to deport millions of people who've done nothing wrong except live and work in the United States without the right paperwork.

Yesterday the Department of Homeland Security or DHS announced a series of measures elaborating on the immigration executive orders that President Trump issued in his first week in office.

Under President Obama, DHS prioritized for deportation only those undocumented immigrants convicted of serious crimes like rape or murder.

But as part of the package of new policies announced today, Donald Trump's DHS will prioritize pretty much all undocumented immigrants for deportation.

That's right - all 11 million of them.

Theoretically - of course - this policy will "Enhance the Public Safety in the Interior of the United States" (that's literally the title of Trump's immigration executive order).

But is it actually just about Making America White Again?

The sobering answer is Yes-the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race." - William F. Buckley, Jr..
