You had this backwards: "What we are watching is immigration treated as a racialized manhunt, "

should read a racilized manhunt disguised as immigration.

Here is the irony, Although one of my 9th Great grandfathers and others have a long history in this family, dating back to 1610.

The vast majority of my ancestors are Irish indentured servants,. I mention this because the Irish were the dregs of society, and in the 19th Century they were not considered white, sane with, Italians,Portuguese, Jews

There were even signs on lawns in Boston, Dogs and Irish stay off my lawn,

And who can forget the Nativists, as portrayed in the movie Gangs of New York.

Yet in the 21st Century, so many of their descendants form the base of MAGA., racists, KKK

BTW many of them, including KKK members, have African ancestry.
