(CNN) This week Donald Trump painted an ugly picture of our present: In his view, the United States is a mess. Trump claims he will unleash a "deportation task force," tripling the number of immigration officers dedicated to deportation. In fact, Trump's vision for the future is a virtual police state, where immigrants (or those who "look" or "sound" like immigrants) must live in fear of having "papers" demanded of them at any moment . Trump asserts these measures are necessary to rid our country of the scourge of immigrants living here without authorization. This resulted in even U.S. citizens of Mexican descent being deported, simply because they were perceived to be Mexican immigrants.
