Because the people at the top with all the money and power did an excellent job of persuading those at the bottom that all their problems were as a result of 'foreigners' and tapped straight into that deep seam of entitlement and yes, racism. They've yet to understand it was a lie.

This is literally what MAGA wanted, fewer foreigners they would have to share air with. I'm surprised anyone is still surprised that USA is shooting itself in the foot, that was the intent. The pain is considered worth the price of sharing ANYTHING.

Nothing mind boggling about it when we have lawless thugs throwing foreigners in prison camps, abusing them for months then deporting them to countries different than their home country.

How can this be recorded in 2016?
That would make it years before Farage decided to go into politics - for reasons that had nothing at all to do with foreigners giving him huge amounts of money.

It’s not mind-boggling. It’s a government that is telling the world it doesn’t want foreigners and will detain or shoot them. It’s mind-boggling that anyone would want to visit the US under the current regime.

Those who profess Christianity & hate foreigners are lying hypocrites✔️😡. The Bible is very clear on how we are to treat foreigners, travelers, visitors as well as other human beings. "Love one another as I have loved you" JOHN 13:34 & 35. I guess they never read that part🤔🙄
