STEWART: "Ah! That makes sense. We’re only deporting people who have come here illegally, or people who have come here legally, but sneaky-legally. Or people who have children who are actually citizens! Or some people who look like they may have come here illegally. Or people that have protested the war in Gaza. Or a special prosecutor Trump doesn’t like! Like Jack Smith. By the way, name a more American name than Jack [bleep] Smith! Where are you going to deport him to? Faneuil Hall in Boston? Or maybe we are just going to be deporting the people that 'always bring wretchedness and want.' I’m sorry, that was how we described the Irish in 1832. Or maybe we’re just going to deport people whose race inherently has a certain kind of criminality. Oh, I’m sorry, that was the Italians in 1911. The point is, every one of these groups was, at a place and time, on the wrong side of not being American enough. And right now, you think you’re safe, because the group Trump’s talking about, it’s not you. As if 'Are you sure this isn’t my wife' Donald Trump can tell the [bleep] difference or even cares that the day-one implementation of the 1798 law that was last used to intern Japanese and German citizens in World War II will be a fine-toothed comb. It just makes me very sad."
