By 2023, his rhetoric had shifted more explicitly toward heredity. At multiple campaign events, Trump said immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” invoking language that historians and analysts have noted parallels earlier exclusionary ideologies. The phrasing closely mirrors passages in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which originally warned of national decline through “blood poisoning.”

They were when the first started coming to America.
Both groups were hated and referred to as criminals who were ruining america. Same for the first waves of russian, romanians and jews, and others.
That is the norm when any new region of people have come to the US, as the prior waves settle in and feel they are the 'real American'.
Wow, I honestly did not believe it, thought it was one of those misleading articles, but The PP actually said the quiet part out loud.President Donald Trump told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade, who is white, that immigrants do not have “your genetics” during a Friday phone interview on immigration. He paired the statement with claims that migrants entering the U.S. are criminals and should be barred. By linking criminal behavior to biology, Trump's comments suggested a fundamental racial distinction between migrants and white Americans.
He then attributed that behavior to biology, saying, “The genetics are not exactly your genetics, it’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s a terrible thing, and it happens, it happens too often,”
linking criminality to inherited traits rather than individual actions or circumstances.
Not hiding white supremacism
Trump’s comments drew criticism from policy analysts and journalists, many of whom focused on his use of genetics to describe immigrants and its historical implications.

Right they are not now as they were given TIME to assimilate and they did.
Not one of those prior waves was like the groups before. They were all different and all hated.
And if there was a Steven Miller type in a Trump admin, back then who had the power to get them out before they could be given a chance to assimilate, he would have.
Key word...prior.... Today's situation is not the same....Even though i know you will not read ... here is a brief history of the types of hate and accusations and bigotry prior waves of immigrants faced...

prior is always the key word.
You cannot get to prior if you are not given the chance to assimilate.
Again, if you read above, (and yes i know you do not read), it was believed AT THE TIME, many of the prior groups could not and would not assimilate by people just like you, who if you had the power would use that to kick them out.
people like you did not have the power and they stayed and they proved they could and did assimilate. Wave after wave each proved it while in wave after wave we were told 'but this new group is different and won't assimilate'.
The xenophobes and people filled with hate and prejudice like you were proved wrong in generation after generation but because you are incapable of learning you keep saying 'but this time is different, so lets keep this group out'.
Define recent. The Chinese were a wave as were the Italians, Irish and Vietnamese. Now the Latinos are and you Trumpys hate brown people. We are a nation whose economy grew on immigrants. Even a Trumpy like you should be able to make a connection with Trump's hate of immigrants and our floundering economy. We need them to grow. They are a source of labor. We need workers. They start businesses, we need businesses and growth.How do you stay so stupid?
Ok...
