From ‘criminals’ to ‘garbage’, Trump is ramping up anti-immigrant language
The US president has seized on the dehumanizing tactic since an Afghan man shot two national guard troops
Donald Trump and senior members of his administration have dramatically escalated their hostile language towards immigrants in the US after anAfghan man was named a suspect in last week’s shooting of two national guard members in Washington DC.
In recent days, the US president has made sweeping statements, claiming that there were “a lot of problems with Afghans”, and went on a tirade against Somali immigrants, calling them “garbage” whose country of origin “stinks”.
