      Deporting itself isn’t bad. Deporting immigrants that contribute to community is bad for everyone.

      An important piece to handle this right is to have enough immigration judges that can determine who should be deported and who is allowed to stay. US historically has shortages in that area. During Biden a bill was about to pass to address this and many other issues. It had bipartisan support, everyone thought it most likely will pass, until candidate trump stepped in and basically made Republicans not vote for it, because he needed the immigration crisis.

      One, it could be used for campaign (see, we now already see immigration caravan, it is like a clockwork, always right before elections), two, expanding ICE and converting it to personal army wouldn’t have buy in.

      Now we have masked larpers going after old, women and children, like in Nazi Germany, they even built concentration camps (note, I did not say death camps, lookup concentration camps in dictionary, it is exactly that, people are confined without access to courts).

      And as in Nazi Germany the group of people that ICE will go after will gradually expand.

      Good on you for blocking them. You wouldn’t want to have to deal with any facts or data that would make you question the people who professionally lie to you. That’d be just terrible.

      What do you see when you look at this?

      🫰NOT the thirst trap congresswoman. 👋 The chart, what do you see?

      Trump is looking like he’ll top one million. He did it. He beat Obama’s record. 🎉🙄

      All Presidents are scum.

      America was NEVER “great”.

          AOC makes a big deal about ICE and deportations when Trump is in office. But when Democrats do it, suddenly she doesn’t seem to care.

            So is the implied “argument” here that ICE is just as evil under Democrat presidents as it is under Trump?

              I think people who rape, torture, kidnap, steal, and deport others are evil, no matter who their boss is.

                Cool, that’s fair. But it also makes it hard to have nuanced conversations about the organizations doing all of that evil shit way more under certain bosses.

                  I’m not sure about that. One boss does it out in the open, and gets opposition. The other does it more discretely, and gets very little pushback.

                Do you have sources showing ICE having a problem with rape, torture and kidnapping under previous administrations?

                Jesus fuck how am I the one “defending” ICE here?

                We know Obama deported more people. Most of us are aware of that, and it’s a major criticism that we have of him. But Obama followed the law and due process, and I’m not aware of the systemic issues you’re referring to happening under him.

                Under Trump it’s literally the point.

                If you cannot tell the difference, then maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
