“South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective.”

Looks like he nailed it.

it's odd that they need to go through that when all they really needed to do is show how Native Americans are treated in the community right outside reservations or how dark skinned people from the inner cities are treated in rural towns.

it's been pretty clear how America is a mixture of bad and good. depends on how you look and how much wealth you have if you're not from here

I'd say that pretty much goes for humans everywhere. The differences are mostly cultural, and - as time goes on - the uber-aggressive types in each culture slowly find ways to take over no matter what it takes, eventually ruining things from within due to their inability to ever be satisfied and fair.

You realize that's the same logic as saying slavery was good for the slaveholders, right?

“I [support] Donald Trump – I like the guy,” announced the South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective.

In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized.

On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing. The detainee’s lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, was reportedly trying to resolve the situation and prevent him being transferred to another state.

I constantly wonder what these bootlickers think about after this whole experience.

Like every life-long bootlicker who got that way via being bullied long-term from a young age, they will twist themselves into knots to avoid the (*gasp!*) humiliation from being shown to be wrong and/or a fool. They will say they deserved it before admitting they were wrong.

IMHO, bullying does the most long-term & significant damage to society as a whole. Especially when it's long-term like when it comes from your own family.

I must have lost my empathy. I can't find it anywhere.
