You were okay with the program deporting people without trial because they "are criminals"? Are you even listening to yourself?
No I assumed that they would take the legal route of getting rid of illegal immigrants that are criminals I didn’t expect it to be like this. But I still am on board with them getting rid of illegal immigrants that are criminals, They just need to go about it a better way
That thing you wanted was already happening under Biden, and before him. How do I know? They didn't hire new people. They just gave the signal to the existing hires that they can do what they want. They were able to deport criminals before, and they did. Trump just lied when he said they didn't. During the campaign he duped millions of people into believing a fake problem to which he is now providing a fake solution: no additional criminals are being deported, not really — they're just doing things more sloppily, being more cruel about it, and padding the numbers with innocent people.
Ok, sending people to an El Salvador concentration camp instead of their home country, that's certainly new.
At this point I'm hoping they'll at some point make the mistake of sending some Chinese citizens to El Salvador. Hopefully someone with CCP ties. Now I'm not saying I wish this upon anyone, I'm saying they're sending people anyway, I just hope they'll eventually make the mistake of doing it to someone whose government can actually fight back. China could absolutely destroy the US if they wanted to at this point.
They've been on Lemmy for 20 days. This Reddit slop is already becoming exhausting
I made an account at the start of the year before changing to make one not associated with my at all. The redditification of Lemmy had become so much worse even just since I got here.
In B-school this is called "adverse selection."
That's what I mean about the duping. None of that was happening under Biden. These "open borders" allegations are and have always been nonsense.
Do people try to cross illegally? Yes. How do we know? Because they're caught while trying to do it and sent back — this one fact should put the "open borders" claims to rest, but that's if we lived in a sane world. And don't get me started on all the citizen militias patrolling the border and shooting people for sport, because a lot of the border is in red states where leadership turns a blind eye to these types of vigilantes.
Most undocumented immigrants in the US arrive normally on a visa by plane and then overstay their visa. And while some do that on purpose, a lot of the time the expiration happens accidentally due to things out of their control, like because paperwork takes too long and it's tied to their employer who isn't moving their ass fast enough, etc. Some are in the process of correcting their undocumented status or even taking their citizenship test when ICE detains them.
The argument here is something you alluded to in the first comment I replied to: an undocumented immigrant merely existing in the US poses no risk to anyone, so maybe deportation isn't really a measured response to coming across a person with undocumented status, let alone calling them "illegals" and doing all this verbal shell game between "illegal", "criminal", "terrorist", deliberately confusing "insane asylum" with "asylum seekers" etc.
All that rhetoric is meant do dehumanize and paint large groups of people with the same brush: dangerous, disgusting, inhuman. Then the "open borders" lie implies incompetence and naivete on the part of the previous administration (or even sadism if they did it knowingly). This is how we ended up here, and now they're doing what they wanted to do in the first place: treat them all the same and continue using the verbal shell game when asked about it, saying stuff like "criminals have no right to due process ^(but we decided without due process who the criminals are)".
Back in my day the trolls put some effort into it.
So... you're suggesting obviously homosexual activities while calling someone derogatory slurs?
The lady doth protest too much, methinks
