And by immigrants I really mean immigrants: you don't have the nationality and live in the country = you're an immigrant.

I keep reading about the plans of parties to kick out all immigrants, stop letting in any, and some parties even advocate to revoke dual-nationalities and kick those people out too. I've never really understood what the point of it is and have trouble imagining what the effects of such actions would be within the country.

It's always been about replacing the slave economy.

The more illegal and threatened someone is the more stuck they are to their (safest) source of income. The threat of deportation is used to force them into ever more exploitation as the boss can always threaten them with a call to ICE. I if the that grows, so too can the exploitation.

Going outside, being in public, meeting people outside the workplace leads to better opportunities and the possibility to organize for better pay/conditions. So that is a target of suppression as well.

They don't have rights. They are treated as sub humans. They are under constant existential threat. They are at the mercy of their boss.

Being in an ICE facility separates families and the torture has been documented many times over.

ICE is a single level of indirection for capital punishment. It holds the same purpose as the whip of old. It's just less offensive to liberals/moderates.
