“Get off our roads; you don’t know how to drive, Mr Singh.” Imagine opening your phone and finding that message attached to an image of somebody who looks like you, carries a name familiar to your community and is being confronted by a giant robot.

What you probably would not expect is that it came from the official social-media account of the United States Department of Homeland Security. And alongside it were the words: “America for Americans.”
