In Far Right's Growing 'Remigration' Talk, Echoes of KKK America

Listen closely to what far-right figures are now saying about immigration, and you will find few differences from the xenophobic debates of the 1920s.

In recent years, America’s far right convinced voters they were worried about illegal immigration.

But listen closely to what they are now saying, and you’ll find growing openness about a more ambitious plan to, in effect, Make America White Again.

It’s a plan, as I document below, rooted in a century-old effort led by the Ku Klux Klan to reclaim America for the people they considered to be “real Americans.”

Those so-called real Americans, of course, were the White Americans.
