I doubt that I'd consider them reasonable, unless your "fasiscm spectrum" goes from 0 to 100 and it's "somewhere". Then yes, _everything_ is on that spectrum, it's just that a lot of things are < 10 and some things are > 90 and if you say "well, they're on the spectrum towards fascism therefore they are fascist", I wouldn't label you reasonable. And if you think that deportations are > 90, you have no idea what fascism is.

You've conveniently sidestepped the mass incarceration portion there (the US has stunningly high incarceration rates even ignoring immigration-related cases). The "who" also matters when it comes to deportation. If we were just deporting folks who overstayed their visa, versus a policy of deporting refugees who took great risks to even reach the country, or folks who were raised (and sometimes even born!) in the US... I'd have more sympathy for the anti-immigration crowd.
