    Traitors to their own people… and the Global South. My bet is that they were once immigrants too.

      I literally know undocumented immigrants that wanted other undocumented immigrants to be caught by ICE so there is more jobs left for them and rent prices go down for them, according to what they said. Individualism has made people cut throat af.

        Opinion only. But my guess is individualism grew from a increase in cut throat people.

        Capitalist billionaires gaining control of world governments. Then using it to move the world to a modern reinteretation of feudalism. Is IMHO the actual cause of the increase.

      I have a few coworkers that are Mexican and one that is Puerto Rican and all of them would happily help deport their neighbors because in their eye they’re one of the good ones.

    Cool. We all should support the legal process to deal with people who have broken laws.

    Now ask if they support picking people up off the street and throwing them into foreign jails without ever having to provide any evidence that they’re here illegally. Or even when we know for a fact that people are here legally, if they support arresting them and kicking them out too.

    I’m exhausted with this fucking bullshit. No one supports people breaking the laws.

    Ask people if they support the constitution and if they believe the government is free to ignore it.

    Also. Fuck Newsweek. Here’s the link to the poll https://www.cygn.al/poll-karens-freak-out-over-ice-raids-as-hispanic-support-for-deportations-surges/

      No one supports people breaking the laws.

      What about these laws? Or these laws? Don’t you support people breaking unjust laws?

      I think what you’re really saying is that you think US immigration laws are generally just.

      The crime angle on immigration was always made up. Crime rates where lower than average among this group. So if you deport that group crime rates would go up.

    Polling company Cygnal. If you go to their website their clients are all Republican organizations. Pretty much ALL of their clients are Republican.

    That doesn’t seem like they are impartial at all.
