MSNBC anchor Symone Sanders has deceitfully told her show’s viewers that black American citizens are “next in line” for deportation under President Donald Trump’s crackdown on dangerous illegal aliens.
During her show on Saturday, Sanders weighed in on the deportation of Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was living in Maryland.
As Slay News reported, Abrego Garcia is known to federal law enforcement as an MS-13 gang member, a human trafficker, and a wife-beater.
Sanders began by citing an article written for The Nation earlier in the week.
In the article, the author had suggested that the deportation of criminal aliens, designated terrorists, and gang members effectively heralded the fall of democracy in America.
She argued that “people of color and vulnerable communities … are next in line.”
“We’ve been talking about this all week, but Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, she penned an op-ed in The Nation this week,” Sanders began.
“And her op-ed talked about that we think democracies are — the way they die is dramatically, through these wars, and blood is shed, and it’s cinematic in a sense.
“But really, the realistic way in which democracies die, is it is dismantled brick by brick, piece by piece.
“And she says that what we are seeing now with the lawlessness from this administration are really the canaries in the coal mine gasping for air.
“I’m paraphrasing here,” Sanders continued.
“But to me, that is why Kilmar Abrego-Garcia’s specific case, the case of the gentleman who’s a make-up artist out of California who was also sent to that prison, that’s what the more — the 75% of the folks who have been sent, the men who have been sent there that don’t have criminal records — that is why this is so important.”
Sanders then pivoted to suggest that if illegal aliens could be deported, it would not be long before citizens could also be deported.
She failed to explain how she made this leap, however.
“If they can do it to them, if they can snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any of us,” she declared.
“To be very clear, it’s going to be the people of color, and vulnerable communities that are next in line.”
WATCH:
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) agreed with Sanders’ assessment.
Ivey claimed that was why the black community appeared largely supportive of bringing Abrego Garcia back to the United States.
However, despite the false claims and fearmongering being promoted by Democrats and their media allies, it is not possible to deport U.S. citizens.
An American citizen cannot legally be deported.
