One out of every three “illegals” detained have no criminal history
It’s good to have this solid evidence, but we’ve also known that they’re going after all unauthorized immigrants based on the stories of the people who have been detained and deported. ICE has been ordered to maximize their deportation numbers at any and all costs. Republicans have polled well on immigration and thus they are going all-in on their xenophobic agenda.
They’re going after “undesirables” and brown people, across the board. They are sweeping up lots of people who are full citizens, and they do not care.
I hate ice but criminal history isn’t the point.
Actually it is important because it is the supposed political justification, far more people are against deporting people without criminal histories
But political justification doesn’t matter at this point. They just do what they want to do and anybody who cries about it just gets ignored.This whole idea that the wrong people are being deported is a leftist idea but we are in a right wing government and they don’t care that. It’s complaining about the noise and all of your neighbors are deaf. The United States is gone, focus your attention elsewhere
This whole idea that the wrong people are being deported is a leftist idea
Lol. Lmao even. Leftists don’t think anyone should be deported at all regardless of “criminal history”. It is a thoroughly centrist and even right wing idea. It’s also a huge reason for the LA protests for example, which is like the one thing America has going for it right now.
Make no mistake, trump is losing popularity with his own base because of this immigration policy
I hate to tell you, but plenty of Marxists in other countries besides the United States strongly side with deportation of people who are undesirable regardless of criminal history. And I’m pretty sure that you, no doubt a United States citizen, would not qualify to be in the majority of“ communist“ countries, like China.
Oh, you’re just an idiot. Well, carry on
Well, a person‘s idiocy is relative. I certainly think you are an idiot for blindly supporting fake communism.
Trumps entire argument around using immigrants as scapegoats was them pushing drugs, rape, murder and gang activity. If 1/3 of the arrests ICE are making have ZERO criminal record they’re just casting a wide net to rack up arrests instead of doing real police work.
USA is a nation built on accepting immigrants. He’s spitting on the foundation of the USA. Back in the early days it was the Irish (potato eaters) that were the target. Because they werent the “right” race. Now it’s brown people.
The plaque on the statue of liberty:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"Emma Lazarus
November 2, 1883Not to mention the fact that our economy is built on the low wage labor of immigrants. Agriculture and construction is hurting bad. Not to mention other industries like food prep and nursing.
