From Wikipedia:
Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, often with the intent of making it ethnically homogenous. The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder and genocidal rape.

By now it is all over the intertubes Don the Cons Racist Remarks at an Oval Office discussion on Immigration:
President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they discussed protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries...“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to countries mentioned by the lawmakers…Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as Norway...
Since DTC took office there has been a 30% increase in administrative arrest and deportations by ICE of people who already live in the United States, some of them for years.
I could go on but I think I have made my point. The parallels to the policy implemented by the 3rd Reich is scary (I will concede that DTC probably does not want People of Color deported to Concentration Camps. Or maybe not).
During the campaign DTC ranted over and over about a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants using a “deportation force” Schutzstaffel. Historian’s have stated it was impossible. He is determine to prove them wrong, to turn the United States back to a time when almost 90% of the population was (non-Hispanic) white.
So will he succeed? I may be a cock eyed optimist, I say no. Not going to happen.
Natural decline among white populations has been happening for decades in mostly rural areas, especially in states like West Virginia, Pennsylvania, California and Florida…And there is little chance that the decreases will reverse: Studies routinely find that once a natural decrease begins, it is unlikely to reverse itself. More states are likely to join the list of white natural decrease in future years, including Vermont, South Carolina, Tennessee and Oregon, where the ratios of white births to deaths have declined precipitously….
Update
Being Jewish myself I thought about MichaelNY’s comment as to whether the title of this diary overshoots the mark, as it were. I do not think it does. Perhaps ethnic cleansing may be a better term but either way the metaphor or symbolism is still true: The systematic forced removal of a racial, ethnic, or religious group from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group in order to make it racially homogeneous.
Update 2
After some additional comments I decided to substitute Ethnic cleansing for Judenfrei. The latter term is too specific, where as the former could apply to anything from the Rwandan Genocide to the Bosnian conflict.
