“Homegrown Is The Way It Should Be”

The repetition of the phrase "migrant crime" is a tactic stolen from Victor Orban, who used to use "Gypsy crime" in the same way https://t.co/s8WSyuJ6CC

Or in America in the GOP you can take it back to Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queens” driving “welfare Cadillacs.”

The Nazis got eugenics laws from us. Who’s to say Orban didn’t get “Gypsy crime” from us, too? Finding groups to blame for crime in America is as old as America itself. Closer to Trump’s home, it was the KKK’s raison d’etre. Fred Trump was a fan, if not a member, of the KKK. Emmet Till died for the idea that all black men lusted after white women.

Orban is despicable, but Trump is an entirely homegrown product.
