    The republicans just funded a gestapo force which is rounding up brown people (some of them citizens) to take them to concentration camps where some and probably soon all of them are going to start dying.

    Recently an 82 year old legal permanent resident originally from Chile where he fled the horror story we kick started decades ago was nabbed whilst replacing his lost green card and is now on deaths door in Gautama where we left him to die on the street whilst lying to his family so they couldn’t help him.

    Please tell me this is the same as life under Obama.

      The Democrats also funded that gestapo force, of course.

          How can you be so stupid as to think ICE was formed by the BBB? Do you not get embarrassed being so proudly ignorant?

            ICE wasn’t formed by the BBB but under Trump it has fundamentally altered its character and method of operating in a way that will inevitably destroy the lives of millions and probably kill many of them and the BBB expand its funding which was 6B in the last year before Trump V1 to 200B under Trump v2.

              So the Democrats did fund the gastapo force

              fundamentally altered its character

              Great to see Democrats have shifted so far right that they’re defending pre-2025 ICE.

                No I’m not. I’m highlighting how bad the current situation is and how bad it is likely to get

        To hold people who actually ought to be deported whilst giving them the benefit of legal counsel and ultimately returning them to the actual countries they came from and never for political reprisals.

          https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/speed-over-fairness-deportation-under-obama

          …a system today of nonjudicial removals, where 75 percent of people removed do not see a judge before being expelled from the U.S.

          Those facing nonjudicial removal have no lawyer and no chance to appeal.

          The Obama administration has prioritized speed over fairness in the removal system, sacrificing individualized due process in the pursuit of record removal numbers.

          Oh, so there were no children in cages under Obama, now? No deportations of asylum seekers?

          This kind of delusional nonsense is why nobody can stand liberals. Y’all think your carefully cultivated ignorance means things just didn’t happen even if there’s ample proof for them.

            Obama focused on recent unauthorized border crossers and people who were actually criminals whilst allowing lawful claims of asylum, protecting dreamers and those who would face harm at home and benignly ignoring long term people contributing. During his last year they spent $6B

            Trump

            • budgeted 200B this year alone to hire an army with the promise of imprisoning or deporting 25M people (more than actually exist)

            • Separated children whilst losing thousands of them to punish people for coming here with the intent that fear of losing their children might keep them out

            • Has armed gangs of anonymous thugs disappearing people off the streets with limited to zero due process.

            • States that due to an invasion we don’t need to give anyone due process

            • Has asserted in court that we can can send them abroad to areas where we know they will be tortured and killed

            • Has deported people to countries they are not from

            • Has deported people to a torturous hell hole based on false claims of criminality

            • When one person was singled out as innocent he had his justice department trump up charges to pretend the original claim was real

            • Is building the American Auschwitz

            • Has claimed that children of unlawful immigrants are not citizens despite the constitution states that he is the only authority his people should follow on the law not the courts

            • Punishes students for speaking out by yanking visas and imprisoning them in legal limbo

            • Has said that getting rid of legal immigrants who don’t belong here (non-whites) is the “next job”

            • Took out a full page ad in a major national paper calling for the lynching of black teens who turned out to be innocent

            • Discriminated against non-whites in both housing and employment

            • Has ice agents as we speak racial profiling and punishing people for being non-white see the 82 year old grandpa originally from Chile who was sent to die in Guatemala while keeping his family in the dark about his kidnapping. He a legal resident was kidnapped while at an office seeking a replacement green card for the one he had mislaid.

            As only around 12M actual illegal immigrants actually exist and its impossible in any reasonable length of time to deport even that number in any sane length of time we are going to fill concentration camps with millions of people more people than we have ever incarcerated. An operation of the size they contemplate run merely as slipshod as the one he is already running will inevitably snag innumerable American citizens who shall be sent to the camps alongside their immigrant neighbors.

            Many citizens and immigrants are going to die. Die of violence. Die of sickness. Die of privation.

            Does ANYTHING above sound like life under Obama? But by all means keep pushing the both sides narrative.
