Most people accept that states have a right to control their borders and that there’s a legitimate role for authorities charged with enforcing immigration policy, especially when it comes to those who have committed serious crimes. ICE also investigates trafficking, smuggling and other transnational offenses that clearly require federal oversight.

“We can just put human rights to a poll” ass answer.

Whoever wrote this Would have said slavery was fine in the 1850s.

A few hours ago I typed out a reply at Bluesky but I ended up deleting it. I realized in context it could be seen as a silly and sort of pathetic effort to grab likes and not as in-passing shitpost. Bluesky takes itself so very seriously and everybody is like-grabbing all the time.

I'll share it here.

If the New York Times Ethicist was born in 1754 and not 1954...

Me: "Is it okay for me to own slaves?"

Ethicist: "Yes, provided it's legal in your area."

Liberals working so hard to forget that ICE was created by the second Bush regime in 2003
