Since #Google is rather dedicated to ad revenue, and they tend to hide certain options from you (ever tried to find alternate #search engines?), it can pay to have some alternatives bookmarked.

“Lauren B. Peña, a Republican activist from Texas, said that hearing Trump’s calls for mass deportations, as well as terms like ‘illegals’ and ‘invasion’ thrown around at the convention, made her feel uncomfortable… ‘He’s not meaning to go and deport every family that crosses the border, he means deport the criminals and the sex offenders’”

That’s not what he and Stephen Miller are saying. They want mass deportations of people with brown skin.
