Ultimately, this
stance reveals a distorted and prejudiced vision, which sees the diversity and
efforts of immigrants as a problem to be solved, instead of recognizing the
value they bring to society. The “cleansing” promoted by Trump is yet another
expression of resistance to social change and an attempt to maintain a
narrative of power based on exclusion, instead of inclusion and the
valorization of work and diversity.
The vision of
cleanliness promoted by Donald Trump in the United States reflects an approach
that associates the idea of “cleanliness” with a policy of exclusion and
immigration restriction. For Trump, the country needs to be “cleansed” of
immigrants, who he sees as a nuisance or an obstacle to the “purity” of a
supposedly homogeneous nation. This ideology, however, ignores the fundamental
role that Latinos play in the American economy: they are the ones who do much
of the work that Americans themselves often do not want to do, such as carrying
boxes, working in supermarkets or performing manual tasks.
If Trump’s
proposal were to truly “clean up” the country in an organized way, perhaps it
would involve citizens themselves taking on these tasks, getting their hands
dirty and performing essential services that sustain the economy. However, his
stance reveals yet another attempt to marginalize and exclude from the labor
market those who do not fit into his vision of an ideal nation.
Perhaps such
attitudes are a sign of his resignation from public service with overwhelming
attitudes that he carries within himself throughout his life.
