I fear for my friends and neighbors whose lives and livelihoods will be in jeopardy should Trump be elected. His manifesto stipulates arresting 18 million undocumented immigrants across the country, detaining them in camps, and ultimately deporting them by mobilizing our military to enforce his far-ranging assault on them.
His war on foreign-born immigrants includes dismantling the DREAM and DACA programs, expanding his dreadful, hateful actions to include school children and college students.
Massive chaos, misery, physical and psychological damage awaits them and those of us who must witness such an attack on ordinary people going about their everyday lives.
This is not the America I want to live in. I hope you will join me in alerting our friends and neighbors about the dangers they may face and together making sure Trump never has the opportunity to shatter 18 million lives, create widespread fear and uncertainty, and do untold damage to our economy and our country.
