[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump’s targeting of immigrants who allegedly violate immigration and citizenship laws shows the depths of his contempt for people of color and his attempt to Make America White Again, according to Myles Hoenig, an American political analyst and activist. The administration of US President Donald Trump is launching an unprecedented effort to strip US citizenship from thousands of immigrants who may have lied or falsified information on their naturalization forms.
The US government agency that oversees immigration applications is launching an office in Los Angeles, California, that will focus on identifying individuals who are suspected of cheating to get their American citizenship and seek to deport them.
“Although it is not a serious problem, only 305 cases in 28 years, the Trump administration is using all its resources, and more, to target immigrants who abuse citizenship laws,” said Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress.
“No one would truly deny that the federal government has a right, even an obligation, to ferret out those who abuse immigration law and achieve citizenship illegally. However, the message is clear coming from this administration. Immigration is seen as more of a threat to this country than nearly anything else,” Myles said in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.
“We don’t see the IRS hiring lawyers and accountants to target the very wealthy and corporations who hide their money overseas to avoid taxes. The military has admitted that it cannot account for trillions of dollars, or that amount has been improperly accounted for. That’s a big news story but no follow up on the government doing anything about it, likely because nothing would be done about it,” he added.
