how people like this, dictators, fascists, authoritarian rulers ever came to power and controlled their populations?
Mao Zedong — China (1949–1976)
Adolf Hitler — Germany (1933–1945)

Ion Antonescu — Romania (1940–1944)
Francisco Franco — Spain (1939–1975)
António de Oliveira Salazar — Portugal (1932–1968)
They had the help of sycophants, they built a cult of personality, they used scapegoats and propaganda. They made appealing impossible promises or ones they never intended to keep.
All you have to do is read, listen, and observe and you will understand.
This is what MAGA has brought to America. It’s a display of ignorance, xenophobia and racism that too many people find acceptable… and it has been promoted and supported even initiated by the President of the United States of America.

Yes, the immigration laws apply to folks on the left who are racial minority economic migrants here illegally, and white, conservatives on the right who illegally overstay their visa’s.

Far-right media provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos deported by ICE from US to UK
Ex-Breitbart editor has vocally supported immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency
By Edward Helmore
29 Aug 2026
Far-right British media provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the US after being detained on Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New Orleans in connection with what the agency said was expired authorization to be in the country and a deportation order.
Yiannopoulos’s deportation to the UK occurred on Friday, said a statement on Saturday from a spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE.
A DHS spokesperson on Friday said that Yiannopoulos, 41, had been arrested by ICE on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans international airport. The spokesperson said Yiannopoulos “legally entered the country” in May 2019 through New York City but then “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws”.
The spokesperson said that Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on 22 July “after failing to show up for his immigration hearing”.
The spokesperson added: “This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.”
Yiannopoulos – who has previously been a vocal supporter of ICE and immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency – was believed to have been arrested while heading to a concert by rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West.
…
Yiannopoulos, a former editor of the conservative media outlet Breitbart News, previously served as an intern for the former US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
…
At the peak of his influence, Yiannopoulos was offered a speaking slot at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, in 2017 after he had been supportive of Donald Trump during his run for his first presidency.
…
A little more than a year before his detention by ICE, a social media post from Yiannopoulos called on immigration checkpoints to be set up at California “supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersection and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can’t prove they are in the US legally”.

No, it doesn’t imply Obama is not a citizen.
You miss the intent of the meme – it aggressively (and stupidly) asserts the opposite – that these are all American citizens whose primary allegiance isn’t to US citizens but to illegal aliens.
Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia, and became a U.S. citizen in 2000 when she was 17 years old.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx, New York City.
Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit.
President Obama was born in Honolulu.
Zohran Mandami was born in Uganda, moved to the United States at age 7, and became a U.S. citizen in 2018.
Karen Bass was born in Los Angeles
Joe Biden was born in Scranton.
The real problem here is that too many people skip over the word “illegal” and, too many, including most of the folks listed here, don’t differentiate between “illegal” and “legal”.
Remember, we have had federal laws clearly and intentionally restricting immigration, creating “legal” and “illegal” immigration, dating back prior to the Declaration of Independence and the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, for example:

Don’t see any rhyme or reason to the placement and how they are placed – they are all citizens. I would certainly have positioned Obama and Biden first, if we are highlighting Democrats – Obama was instrumental in killing off the 2007 bipartisan compromise on immigration (prompted by concerns of labor unions), while Biden Administration’s record on illegal immigration is easily the worst of all time. I was surprised, however, that former Vice President Harris, the border czarina tasked with finding the “root causes” of illegal immigration, wasn’t on the list.
Illegal foreigners are the issue here – not foreign born individuals who are lawfully present in America.
AI estimates: Estimates for the total cost of illegal immigration during the Biden administration range from $150 billion to over $180 billion annually across federal, state, and local governments, according to varying policy and advocacy groups.
Putting others ahead of Americans means, simply, any dollar spent on an illegal alien either adds to our deficits or could have been spent on American citizens and individuals who are lawfully present in America.

“illegal” ≠ “ignorance, hate and racist”!
As a first generation American, born to an immigrant, naturalized mother who arrived at Ellis Island at age 7 months in July 1925, when one of my relatives was deported during the Obama Administration for overstaying her student visa, even though she was of European descent, I never suggested President Obama or Democrats or the officials in Homeland Security were “ignorant, hateful or racist” when they enforced our immigration laws.
You shouldn’t either.

You better take another look at the post, you entirely misread it. The meme itself was what I referred to, not the people.
The meme implies Obama was not a citizen and attacks foreigners and implies they are terrorists.
