My husband and I heard her speak against amnesty at CPAC back in 2004 or 2005...I remember her saying “We can mow our own lawns, thank you.”
In the Nazi era, undesirables would be treated as non-persons. Their contributions to society would be demeaned. People participating in this effort would say things like “I have no idea what she did. “
Perhaps this is what our friend is attempting here.
