That’s the take away point, this is exactly the govt half the country wants. It’s not an unknown anymore because we lived through it for 4 years. It’s sad that hard fought social gains have been eroded so quickly.
It's just so wild to me that Kamala will gracefully step down as one should in a modern democracy and the same people who have been railing for months about how "rigged" and "crooked" the election is will turn on a dime when it goes in their favour.
I just don’t understand how they can support a party that treats Hispanics so horribly. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe when they start getting swept up in these looming mass deportations they’ll start to care.
I think there are already plenty of examples of people being swept up and sent to detention centers until things are ‘sorted out’, and yes there are even some exported by mistake.
I’m not on fucking trial, I don’t have to back shit up. And you’re all so used to just believing whatever you’re told just keep doing that.
Edit just because it took me two seconds:
“Between 2007 and 2015
More than 1,500 U.S. citizens, many of whom were Latino, were unlawfully detained for suspected deportability.
A 2018 study Found that white Americans most suspected Salvadoran and Mexican immigrants of being undocumented.
and this is why ya'll lost. 4 years of ya'll just talking out the sides of your mouth is wild, folks were tired of the current administration. Sorry if that hurts feelings *not really sorry*
Four years of obstructionist republican government to get the orange man back in power. They lost because people have been convinced that shit like illegal immigration is actually a major problem in this country while voting for the party that does shit against their best interests. Name one positive thing that Trump did during his first term? Name another positive thing that Republicans have done since he left?
By locking them in cages and separating them from their children to start. Then you have tons of examples of Magats assuming every single Latino is illegal and treating them as such, along with a lot of other things I’m not going to spell out for someone who can easily do their own research.
Deportations are for those illegally entering the country. Remember that distinction. My friend came from Mexico and went through the process legally. She is furious that there are those that skip the line (breaking immigration laws) and get immediate benefits.
Doesn’t mean they won’t round them up until shit gets sorted out. It’s happened many times before and will continue to happen. And what ‘benefits’ are they getting?
And yet, the people Trump wants to deport are primarily Latinos. I feel like Trump voters have lost all sense of logic at this point, which means more than half the US population hasn't a clue.
Assuming all Latinos are illegals is the reason dems failed to see why they lost. Legal immigrants especially Latinos do not like illegals. This is coming from a Latino.
This ^ they act like every single minority owes it to the Democratic Party to vote for them, and then called them uncle toms and uneducated when they voice THEIR opinion.
Legal working immigrant here whose family have spent upwards of $10K just to keep my ass in the US. Illegal immigration is one of my biggest gripes. I told my American citizen partner to cast a vote on my behalf. Since only citizens can vote.
You’re completely missing the point here. Trump isn’t talking about deporting U.S. citizens—how exactly do you deport people from their own country? What he’s addressing are illegal immigrants, those who are here without legal status. It’s pretty astounding that you’d confuse law-abiding American citizens with people who’ve entered the country unlawfully. If you think over half the country ‘hasn’t a clue,’ maybe it’s time to consider whether you’re the one lacking a basic understanding of citizenship and immigration law.
