Trump Orders Nearly 1 Million Migrants Who Entered US Legally to Leave Now
Trump Orders Nearly 1 Million Migrants Who Entered US Legally to Leave Now | Common Dreams
"It was never about 'legal' immigration, but always about upholding white supremacy," said one human rights lawyer.
As a Native American we order all racist white people to leave now.
Then America truly would be great again.
As a non racist American also not a bigot or twat waffle, I approve this message.
Man, forcibly exile me back to my grandparents' Scandinavian village. Please.
Please.
I'm not even in the US but I agree
Just doesn't hit the same way when you don't have guns and will use violence.
I was constantly reminded of my native heritage by my parents while growing up in Oklahoma; they always argued what stupid fraction of which tribe we were. Of course, there's no documentation. I did the genealogy a while back, and it turns out I'm so fucking white that I could make snow get deported by ICE; I'm, like, pronounce the H white. Anyway, so much to say that being sent back to England, while certainly a punishment, would be getting off easy, all things considered.
Edit: I don't consider myself a racist, I just suffer from skimming. I just re-read the post :(
I love Native Americans. You guys are the only ones that truely belong here. I just hope that you let us Dems and independents that hate the GOP stay.
As long as we are all united together and show love and kindness to each other, regardless of our heritage or gender background everything will eventually be better for us all. It is very hard to be optimistic in these times and to offer words of encouragement, but as long as you have love and are willing to share your thoughts I feel that eventually things will improve. The power and greed of a few weak men will pass, and the power of the people will always stand tall.
Why are citizens on there 3 times when they are indistinguishable categories and why are they so far to the right when he's already publicly talked about sending citizens to the torture prison?
I would like that ceiling to give him a knocking.
My government sickens me.
RFK Jr: "Bet"
For real though, yeah our government is absolutely disgusting and abhorrent right now
At least he walked back his bullshit on the measles vaccination. He really needs to walk his ass off of a tall cliff, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.
Our government has been disgusting for decades, at least.
Then do something about it. Nut up. Get off Lemmy. Change it.
The link to the Panama concentration camp article is explicit and nauseating. Y'all, it’s a concentration camp, right down to the cages and lack of food and shelter.
The USA officially has concentration camps. And since Trump has revoked the visas of international college students and immigrants who came in legally under a policy set in motion by Biden, he is preparing to put anyone and everyone in those camps.
We're already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It's in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by...well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I'll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
Cuba does not want them there. They want the US out of Guantanamo and have for a long time.
Basically the US-friendly pre-revolution government gave the US a perpetual lease to the land. After the revolution the Communist government wanted them out but they don't really have the military power to force them. The US still sends them checks (which they don't cash) for whatever pittance the old agreement listed so they can claim it's "legal". That territory is completely under US oversight, there is no land connection to it.
Don't blame Cuba. They're cool, and if you ever get a chance to visit you definitely should. It was very cheap when I went. Cheap flight from Miami and very cheap Airbnb in downtown Old Havana. Beautiful, safe, and full of history and kind people.
To be fair, the US has had concentration camps for hundreds of years (starting in the 1830s for holding natives)
It's out in the open is what is new.
Yes. I suppose I should add this: modern-day, “average” Americans have been fed the false narrative of American greatness and equality of opportunity their entire lives. This particular concentration camp flies in the face of that narrative and is living, breathing proof that the USA is a violent, racist country obsessed with the “in group=humans” and “out-group=animals” ideology.
And the horrors of this camp and a bit of the cognitive dissonance between that false narrative and the reality of what is happening cause nausea.
also any internationals criticizing BIBI's government too.
DHS claimed Monday that "the Biden administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history."
How are they "illegal aliens" (ignoring for the moment the dehumanization inherent to the phrase), if they were officially allowed to enter and then did?
If I were to guess it would be because Biden is the one who let them in. And Trump is on a kick to literally undo everything that Biden has done in the last 4 years including wrecking our improved economy. It's all Trump cares about.
He did the same thing in 2016. Moved very quickly to wreck nearly everything that Obama had anything to do with. So that he could come back in a couple of years and try to fix all of it. Badly, I might add.
dehumanization
Only for people who don’t understand the term
The Morrison government in Australia told all the temporary workers, backpackers, international students, tourists to go home during Covid and Australia is still paying the price of economic dislocation. A lot of these people worked on farms, in cafes, construction, hospitals etc and we had massive problems because him thought they were a burden.
Americans refuse to learn from history or the rest of the world. We are so exceptional it is offensive for you to act like we would be burdened with what troubled others.
Those are jobs not only Americans don't want, but there is not enough to fill.
We already had a low unemployment.
Don't worry, they're working hard to pump up those unemployment numbers as well. Not going to be long before people are starving in the streets, not because there's no food, but because the average person just won't be able to afford it.
Americans want them. The employers won’t pay what the job market demands. When eggs are rare the price rises. When labor is it’s always “labor’s fault” huh? Not that very same market.
If it is required for life, health, home, or education, it should not be allowed to profit.
Soon they'll be the only jobs left and Americans won't have a choice.
Or some Americans won't have a choice! It's slavery with extra steps!
Good point, SatansMaggotyCumFart!
they did rollback child labor laws.
Profit and control. Always has been.
Racism
The number of Americans who don't notice this Nazi shit is too damned high.
The white house account-posted video of immigrants being deported to "Nana na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" really is just, "we are inhuman and evil" in blinking neon letters.
Though it’s not like we needed any more proof. Musk’s family has historically been racist Nazis going back well over a hundred years, and Trump’s racism is what made him famous to begin with. The rapes etc. are really just cherries on top.
All immigration law in the US has always been about upholding white supremacy. That is why the first federal immigration law was called the Asian Exclusion Act.
and at least 2 universities have anti-asian sentiment because "too many asians in thier historically white university"
With each day that passes, not enough white men are using their power to show up and stand up against these atrocities. They sit back silently.
Take note. The people with the most privilege to enact change should be standing up and they aren’t.
all thier saying is"white people are as much as a victim as any minority" yeah no, POC and minorities, especially lgbtq+ suffer alot more than any white person would. its the wierd thing they also project into other things too. even amongst lgbtq+ white people are seen as "superior" to minorities.
I imagine your view of the white male identity is informed by your own personal experiences. All the same, this is abuse of identity politics. Though I know it's not intentional, as misunderstanding of idpol is systemically propagandized.
Actual identity politics seeks out the white men who leverage their privilege for the benefit of others and champions them as examples. It seeks to show other white men how they can leverage their power in a positive fashion to accelerate a movement without coopting it and encourages them to do so. Most importantly, it demonstrates how white men are an important piece of a holistic, synergistic, all-or-nothing social force called the working class, which is exponentially empowered by and relies upon the diversity of all it's social identities. It - We - Cannot succeed unless all are included and considered, and when all are included and considered we cannot lose.
The disfigured and toxic identity politics promulgated by the democratic party is an individualized one that very intentionally begins and ends at the personal level. The history of class oppression and struggle is therefore replaced by a zero-sum history of identity oppression and struggle. Class resentment is swapped for personal resentments. There is no holistic synergy of identities. If society is bad it is because the privileged identity is bad, and revolution ie fixing all our social problems looks like simply replacing them with a different identity. It is ultimately compatible with racism, sexism, ageism, and classism. It is a misunderstanding of the nature of power and the history of social classes. It hurts us all.
Sorry for the infodump, I don't mean to sound overly critical I just write a lot.
Washington Dems who have tried to be pro-border security are part of the problem. A major part. Their support for racist xenophobic policies made it easier for the average American to lose sight of basic human equality.
In reality Trump wants all of these people to stay, and stay undocumented, so they can be used as borderline slave labor. The problem is that when Democrats talk about being tough on immigration, they may get easier for him to get away with evil policies like this. What worries me more is that I think many of those Democrats actually believed in their anti-immigrant racist xenophobic policies.
Borderline slave labour? They want to arrest these fuckers and put them in interment camps and have them work for free. 5th amendment. Racist motherfuckers drilling slavery into the constitution.
Washington Dems who have tried to be pro-border security are part of the problem.
Because that's what Democratic voters want.
Most democrats are not leftists, they are liberals.
If the left ever takes the presidency again, they should throttle the absolute fuck out of the right for this degeneracy. Fuck being nice, retribution is fucking owed.
"Again" when did the left ever have the presidency?
Exactly. We have zero representation. Actually, we’re the enemy. Just normal capitalism stuff.
Assuming you're talking about democrats here, I wish they would, but I don't think they ever will. I would argue that line was good as crossed years ago, they've got no spine to adjust to the fact that mutual cooperation died years ago. They're literally just in it for the money, they aren't idealists or even someone with a moral core.
They aren't "left" either.
They will spout some nonsense about "being the time for coming together as a country" or "reaching across the aisle" because "there is good in every man and woman"
The left never had a POTUS. Just rotating faces of the Oligarchy.
Don't worry, they'll get a strongly-worded finger wagging, that'll definitely teach them.
Literally remove the right wing outright. No more of that equal representation for racists bullshit.
Any country willing to take a disabled parasite in? Because once they are done with "illegal immigrants" the "parasites" are next.
On the bright side, at least I won't have to deal with snow anymore.
don't worry, gay people will probably buy you some time. I'm almost sure they hate us more.
My money's still kinda on the hate being more calculated than literal, I imagine a bunch of people who've never actually lowered themselves to driving their own car spreading hate about things they've seen on TV, but aren't really sure are real. Like the backlash to the kids in school using litterboxes, it was 100% true in these folks minds.
Not that I expect it to be in any way comforting, but from up on high you can think of it as an all-encompassing hate toward the NPCs using all of the billionaires resources up, one that everyone should be able to feel.
Hopefully they take a luna tick parasite named: Donald.
In yet another Trump administration attack on migrants, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced that nearly 1 million migrants who entered the country legally using a Customs and Border Protection mobile application must leave "immediately" or face consequences including potential criminal prosecution.
Do rich Republican donors really support this crap?
Even if we ignore the whole “give a shit about humans” thing, have the parasites that rely on exploiting the labor of others for their existence looked at birth rates in the developed world lately? Fighting over a shrinking labor pool generally means they can demand higher wages. They should be welcoming every person who will voluntarily move here.
And the rank and file useful idiots might want to think about any sliver of a chance they have to get things like social security.
I'm actually starting to enjoy this (edit: not the deportations, the economic shit show). We will all get hurt anyway so why not entertain ourselves by watching the self destruction of the USA. It also gave me a nice title for a track, Apocalypse Euphoria.
We will not all get hurt equally, and some of us will be too busy running for our lives to just kick back and watch the self destruction
Also, I don't know what you think the self destruction of the USA is going to look like, but if you think there's some magical bottom we're going to hit and then it will be done and things won't get any worse you're sadly mistaken. Things can always get worse.
Eventually, this country is going to look like Nazi Germany more than it doesn't. We'll be lucky if its only policies like ideology and censorship, but it will almost certainly include incarceration of political enemies, torture, and mass murder. You can just tell by how giddy they are that they can't wait to do their worst.
That’s what Russification is: “…and then it got worse.”
I hate what's happening but I enjoy the righteous schadenfreude.
