Gotta pull up those ladders behind you. It’s not like those immigrants could have anything in common with your family, that also immigrated to the US with very little.
I know Hispanic, that came to the usa illegally and they hate immigrants. It’s mind boggling… Selfishness is what it is.
My dad is the same. He arrived illegally in the 70s, got a factory job with pension, got his citizenship, and now supports tighter immigration control. He ate the fox news propaganda about the caravans and criminality. We troll him by not speaking Spanish to him and demand he speak “American”- he gets so mad when Spanish is not an option at a business.
And you know they’re in favor of mass deportations until it impacts their family members that are still undocumented. They just want other people’s family to be deported. It’s like all those stories that came out about white Trump voters who were upset about their undocumented spouse or their favorite restaurant owner or whoever being deported.
A few years ago i saw a guy on reddit who was hispanic and he signed all his posts with “hispanics for trump”
I was sure that it was a troll or bot or something. For the first time ever i went through a guys comment history because i was sure that when i go a few month back, it’s gonna be russian or something. Nope, seemed like a genuine normal ass hispanic dude who hated immigrants
Conservatives really hate all other people, even the people they should trust.
American politics have become a death cult. Millennialism had a much deeper impact on this country than I recognized at the time.
Millennialism? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this mentioned before, can you explain?
Also called Millenarianism, it refers to the belief that a major change/end of an age/apocalypse is inbound.

A lot of folks felt this way when the year 1999 rolled around and the “new millennium” began. For some it only got worse after September 11th 2001.
There’s a thing called illegal immigration, or people who immigrated illegally.
But Illegal immigrants aren’t a thing.
And it looks like OP didn’t just copy the headline or article:
Headline:
Majority of Hispanics Now Favor Mass Deportation
Article:
A recent poll found that a majority of Hispanic people favor the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
The CBS News/YouGov poll found that a majority of registered voters overall (62 percent) would favor the government starting “a new national program to deport all undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. illegally.” Thirty-eight percent said they would oppose it.
So OP, can you edit your title to remove the racially loaded language?
Would you mind breaking down the difference between people who immigrated illegally and illegal immigrants? I’m asking this in good faith because the online discourse has gotten so toxic that I’d like to be able to flag it when I see it.
My current understanding is that the latter language is dehumanising by describing the person to be illegal in their existence. Usually we would say that someone has done something illegal, not that they themselves are illegal.
But to those with a short attention span the difference can appear academic.

Yep.
In general you want to describe people by adjectives and not label them as nouns ouns.
Sometimes it’s different because the group wants to be called a noun (Christians) but that was well after they became the majority in Europe and was still used to shit minorities.
Mass deportations of whom? How about a mass deportation of Republicans?
