Immigration Issues

The scary part is that I'm unhinged enough to do it with a "machete".

I dunno for sure, but the scary part to home-breaking robber me, would probably be that you MIGHT want to take advantage of a rare opportunity to hack someone up with a machete with complete impunity. I’d probably rather take my chances with the neighbor!

Sometimes you two actually frighten me a bit.

Sometimes you two actually frighten me a bit.

Good.

If someone lives a life which fails to frighten anyone even a little bit, "I do not consent" is sure to make at least some folks out there in the world laugh rather than stop.

Ideally, people would be, at a bare minimum, frightened enough of me to think I will beat them within an inch of their life and quite likely take away the relatively painless use of whatever parts of their body gets damaged in the course of my own self-defense.

And ideally they would also be frightened enough of me to know that making overtures of social attacks and social leverage at me will end in a similar outcome.

That's about how frightened everyone should be of everyone else. Not because its great to be frightened, but because that's what keeps the peace when all else fails.

I find this sentiment extremely problematic.

You're effectively threatening physical violence and murder in response to different beliefs. It's quite authoritarian.

"Someone is threatening response to the attempt to starve, de-home, slander, and harm folks through fraud, wahhhh, woe to the poor widdle manipulative liars".

Get fucked. Be afraid, if that's you.

Orange Man Bad so fuck all laws then?

Since Rump thinks he is above the law, and making his own, YEAH, fuck his version of the law.

rather than a reflection of actual justice.

ICE is not practicing justice.

it's in the states that are cooperating with ICE in the normal fashion. You know - informing ICE when someone here illegally is apprehended and detaining them to hand over, as well as informing ICE when an illegal alien has completed a sentence so that ICE can deport them in the normal fashion.

If you think that is how it is going down, you are dreaming.

For nearly three decades, Raquel Molina — an immigrant from El Salvador who has a valid Social Security number and permission to work in the United States — swabbed the toilets, wiped down the seats and vacuumed the aisles of airplanes at Boston’s Logan International Airport.

But last summer, Ms. Molina, 65, was abruptly fired from her $19.75-per-hour cleaning job, alongside dozens of other immigrants who have long legally worked at Logan. Her supervisor told her she no longer had clearance to enter secure areas at the airport. The Trump administration had decided that only U.S. citizens, green card holders and others with more permanent forms of residency should be granted access, according to a lawsuit that a labor union filed in federal court.

“I didn’t understand what was going on,” said Ms. Molina, who has been living legally in the United States under Temporary Protected Status, a humanitarian program that shelters people from troubled countries until they can safely return home. “I had worked hard at my job. This news put me in a state of shock.”

Her firing reflected a broader and methodically planned piece of President Trump’s hard-line strategy to make the United States less welcoming to those from other countries.

Overseeing the effort is Stephen Miller, one of Mr. Trump’s most influential aides and the architect of his immigration agenda, who has argued that many newcomers to the United States are a threat to American identity, security and prosperity.

“At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands,” he said on X last year.

Mr. Miller has asked White House officials to work with federal agencies to make sure they are using regulations against immigrants throughout the areas of American life they oversee, according to two former administration officials, especially to strip away the services that encourage what he calls “welfare migration.”

Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement that Mr. Trump’s immigration policy “will always be doing what’s best for the American people.”

This is so disgusting and we will pay for this when there aren't enough people to do the jobs that so many of these immigrants do, The asshole is even deporting those who are here legally. The stupidity and cruelty is overwhelming.

Steven Millier is even more evil than Trump!

I mean, that's a bold statement to make when Trump is currently a glorified sock puppet for Miller. I would imagine they are equally as evil as one another at this point because they are the same person.

Dude, you're the one advocating violence in response to slander here. As well as "social leverage" which could mean any damn thing. You're pretty openly arguing to physical aggression and potentially murder to get your way.

I'm not on board with a violent tyranny. I'm concerned that you are.

I don't find that you are radicalized at all. You've always been pretty much who you are: white is right and it's straight all the way and all that jazz. Oops: should not have said jazz. That music form has its roots in black music. Which leaves out rock and roll as well.

This is something you've completely made up all by yourself. Ascribing racism to me is a complete and utter fiction of your own invention. It's absolute bullshit.

And the fact that *this* is your go to insult is both absurd and radicalized, Toni.

Sure.

You don’t know me at all. But now you think I’ve become radicalized?

Hunny, I was born this way.

You were born accusing people of being racist when you can't engage in a civil discussion? Odd upbringing you must have had.

Seriously, your accusation that I've always been "white is right" is absolute fabrication - it's a fiction you've invented, supportable by nothing at all. It's rude, it's uncivil, and it's childish.

Sorry for stepping into your territory
