And by immigrants I really mean immigrants: you don’t have the nationality and live in the country = you’re an immigrant.

I keep reading about the plans of parties to kick out all immigrants, stop letting in any, and some parties even advocate to revoke dual-nationalities and kick those people out too. I’ve never really understood what the point of it is and have trouble imagining what the effects of such actions would be within the country.

    It’s not actually about immigrants it’s about control.

    Immigrants are the easiest group to remove rights from. If a government can remove rights from a group, they can keep expanding that group to fit anyone in it that they don’t agree with.

    You see the early stages of this on how they threaten to send ice agents to go after politicians who are minorities.
