How about you stop instinctively sucking Trump's dick and read about the man you like to say is not a racist.Again, race is not nationality, Trump is nationalist, not racist. You can make an argument for xenophobic, which is still not racist. Unless you can show me a situation in which he, personally, and not an unelected bureaucrat probably from the previous administration, or Congressmen from his party, is enacting or calling for policies that would intentionally affect all Latinos, on the basis of being Latinos and not on the basis of them having personal interests in Central America, or on the basis of them not being US citizens. Even if it's explicitly on the basis of them being Mexicans, it's still not racist, because Mexican isn't a race, it's a nationality. Similarly, the article you linked was immigrant soldiers, not blacks, latinos, asians or any other race, but people who migrated into this country, people who aren't native-born citizens of the US. A nationality qualifier. Not a race qualifier.
That's not racist. That's xenophobic, at worst, and it being a paranoid prevention of foreign influence is the far more likely cause because Trump is quite likely nativist... Which is not a form of racism, because nationalities are not races. These policies have absolutely no effect on multi-generation immigrants who are native-born citizens. Hell, the Army Times article starts with stating that non-citizen members of the military are being discharged, so they're literally deportable if they screw up under fully legitimate rule of law. They're not even citizens of the country, there's reasonable grounds to argue that they shouldn't be allowed to be in the military in the first place.
Furthermore, your mention of military ejections is off-topic, owing to the fact that deportation is only tangentially related to the act of removing noncitizens from the military. Cut the crap with the whataboutism. Actually use applicable insults. Pay attention to what words mean. Actually participate in a fucking debate about a singular topic, instead of dragging more topics in without immediately providing supporting evidence, thus wasting your opponent's time either digging for what you're talking about, or making a post to ask about what fresh off-topic bullshit you're dragging in to drive home ad-homonyms.
The topic of this thread is Trump apparently deporting legal immigrants. Which has been debunked, because it's a block of existing cases of people that shouldn't have gotten citizenship in the first place that now has an office dedicated to going over them. And it wasn't even Trump that did it! He might have put in the suggestion, but in the end it was an unelected bureaucrat that made the decision to... Hire more lawyers and investigators to get through a backlog of cases, and gave them a new office because there's a large number of them hired to get it done in a reasonable amount of time.
