"Rise of Right-Wing Parties Fueled by Anti-Migrant Rhetoric and Hitler Comparisons"

Former President Donald Trump's recent rhetoric on undocumented migrants "poisoning the blood" of the United States has drawn comparisons to the ideological worldview of earlier 20th-century fascists. Trump's anti-migrant demagoguery, which began with his 2015 presidential bid, has resonated with a galvanized far-right base. The issue of migration is also shaping the political landscape in Europe, with fears over immigration boosting right-wing parties. The United States and Europe are both grappling with significant increases in arrivals of those seeking asylum, leading to a sense of crisis and a political battle over immigration policies.
