Neo-Nazi groups and the online far right are latching on to the anti-immigration rhetoric coming from Donald Trump’s campaign for the White House in an effort to recruit new supporters and spread their extremism to broader audiences.

After the Republican national convention in July, where supporters waved “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!” placards, it became clear that Trump’s xenophobia has become part of the Republican establishment. Upon his return to X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump released a stream of images targeting Vice-President Kamala Harris’s stance on the border and immigration.

Among them were memes inferring the Democrats will bring rapists into the country and a 2012 photo of men in Karachi, Pakistan, burning an American flag with the caption: “Meet your neighbors [...] IF KAMALA WINS.”

In tandem with the Trump campaign’s sloganeering, known figures on the far right and their online denizens are seizing on the open hatred of immigrants from the top Republican and going even more public with their brand of activism.

1. The neighbors Trump brought into the country.

Remember:::: whatever bad Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Americans.

He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.

He's one hopscotch away from mentioning a gas chamber.
