That might be a sentence. Needs more “and” though.

On my stance of immigration, I only wanted illegals out of my country. This here is a green card holder, a renewed one at that, being the one getting all of his shit ruined for no reason.

I can’t really lower the bar any lower as to how unpatriotic I feel towards USA at this time.

Every American paying tax has blood on their hands when it comes to America’s wrong doings.

It’s like paying a hitman to do the dirty work and then pretending “no they didn’t die because of me.”

If taxes aren’t paid people go to prison… So what’s realistic, non prison, way people can be innocent with this perspective?

I’m curious for everyone downvoting, what do you want for immigration reform?

I don’t think open borders could work, and if we don’t have open borders, we need some mechanism to enforce our immigration policy.

Note: this question stems from the parent comment, I know the article is about a green card holder. I also find the way he was treated as inhumane for any person regardless of immigration status.

I do not think you will get an honest answer because people are just fueled by emotion and triggered. The biggest double standard in regards to immigration is that the US should be open border but everyone else should continue to look down at Americans as tourists and treat them as such. While restricting americans and being stingy at them when they arrive to their country and assimilate immediately.

But when we do it then it is xenophobic and people carting out the old “your country has always been ran by immigrants” and blah blah blah. Two faced people I swear.

I don’t even know if I’ve heard many people actually calling for open borders. However, it’s one of the major policy areas that I don’t really know what the democratic party’s stance really is. Maybe I just need to read more into it.

From your response I am assuming you voted for Trump. If so may I ask where you got your i formation from regarding all his policies leading up to the election?

What the hell is this? Everyone involved in this should be fired and probably jailed.

This happened under Trump so if he does nothing he is responsible. It needs to be added to the list of impeachment charges and he needs to be impeached every week with an increasing number of charges until the Congressional vote passes. He will piss everyone off eventually.

And talk about wasteful government spending. Anybody getting paid to do this to someone would be much more effective out policing traffic, stop aggressive drivers and red light runners. The number one cause of death is traffic accidents. You can get hit by someone anytime anywhere you are out on the road. This sort of thing is what needs attention more than mythical Boogeyman immigrants and travelers.

This is exactly what they want. We are already in a civil war. These are social power moves.

It seems as though nothing will be fixed because people are still in denial and have a hope that protests and complaining to our government will work. People aren’t understanding it’s already war.

Don’t underestimate psychological warfare.

Time is being lost. Opportunity to advance in this war is being lost.

Think like a game of chess, understand a mob boss mentality, every action should be war strategy. People need to realize in this war they will have to battle with understanding how to be heartless. You can’t win a war against evil without heartlessness and it sucks because it’s a paradox. Wars end in death, and change comes from that.

I don’t know what to do either. It feels so helpless.

Now is the time, I tell people as often as I can, especially trans, bipoc, marginalized friends, get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

It’s worth remembering that one of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate just how fuckin’ bad these people are and they’re winning. Their little coup was successful and if they don’t want to give up power they won’t without force.

Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

Be sure to take that gun with you on your transatlantic flights so you can shoot your way out of the airport when the Gestapo come for you. 👍

Yeah I know how big this is. I think they have play in the streets too. Crime org and gang manipulation, as well as psychologically manipulating poor people to do their pressure work on regular citizens.

This is very deep and there’s more to it then the red white and blue political stage theater. This is a war on humanity not just America getting fucked with.

That’s why I wrote “on US soil”. US concentration camps have long existed outside the US.

The few concentration camps that have existed on US soil in the past have been closed.

No, because they’re not flying flags with swastikas, and most importantly, they’re not being cartoonishly evil (have some badly done crime statistics on hand to wave around). /s

It’ll take more than that. America had concentration camps for the Japanese while we were actively fighting the Nazis in WWII and their own camps.
