Trump now proposes to deport LEGAL immigrants from Haiti. And he won’t stop there. One of the most chilling words in Project 2025? “Denaturalization.” That’s right. They want to STRIP citizenship from immigrants who’ve become American citizens. THAT is the Trump platform.

First off, Haitians started coming to Springfield in 2018 **when Trump was in office**, seeking asylum from the violent situation in Haiti.

Most are in the system, and not here illegally. They have taxpayer IDs and work jobs.

It shows how efficient influencers are at spinning up hate/fear, and the GOP’s eagerness to help them do it.
