First off, anyone here on a temporary visa who was just told it would not be renewed, anyone enrolled in DACA, etc. would probably disagree very strongly that there is zero reason to be worried, don'tcha think?

For two, lots of immigrants -- including some that I know personally and have opened up about it -- felt betrayed and unwelcome after the election. Whether you view it this way or not, Trump's campaign was viewed as a white nativist campaign by many if not most non-whites. I'm sure you read the various reports of white kids taunting minority kids in school and telling them they were going to be deported; I'm sure you recall the "very fine" Nazis marching on our alma mater; I'm sure you heard the rhetoric about Muslims, Mexicans, etc. Here is a collection of personal stories if you don't believe me.

Trump's election was a validation of white trashionalism -- it was temporary, it will not last, and the Klanzanskis of the world will surely find their way to the dustbin of history where they belong. But that doesn't mean being a minority or an immigrant in America didn't suddenly feel harder for people after the election and that doesn't mean Trump isn't trying to fulfill his white trashionalist promises to people (I use that word losely) like TK3.
