If Republicans truly saw companies hiring illegal immigrants as an issue, they'd be able to easily crack down on business owners doing the hiring and make the punishment more than just a slap on the wrist.
No, the cruelty towards other humans is the point. They don't care about the non-existent issue.
Greetings from Germany. Maybe you want to skip everything that happens from now on and end this before this lunatic takes office.
On a unrelated topic: aren't you the nation with the most guns?
Speaking as a Canadian, I'm confused. If you boot out all the undocumented, where are you going to find the migrant workers to do all the unpleasant, if not downright dangerous jobs? And many of those are in red states. What does that leave? The convict workforce? I guess that is huge in the US.
We have migrant workers here too. They come on temporary visas, so they are technically documented. But the whole sector is rife with discrimination and human rights violations regardless.
Who the fuck knew we are going to see the fall of America in our lifetimes. The only thing I hope for at this point is strong Europe.
Reposting my comment again.
Like the German version of Nazis before them, they aren't coming for their biggest target first. They're coming for their political opposition, the "abortionists", the atheists, the drug users, the mentally ill...
RFK Jr.:
"I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it— to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities,"
Re-education camps, huh.
If you can get out of this country, get out.
History repeats itself (because humans are stupid).
Pick up a history book to find out where it goes from here.
The Gestapo is coming.
Surely nobody would ever march their army on Rome.
among those will likely be people whose relatives voted for Trump because of reasons
Canuck here.
Doesn't the Posse Comitatus Act prohibit the use of military (other than National Guard and Coast Guard) for this purpose?
I see they can be used but only if the Insurrection Act is invoked (might be other ways but that's the one that came up most frequently in my searches).
And all of the military stationed at the border will be turned around to keep people in once Trump moves on from immigrants to trans people, or some other group who will be forced to flee the country to avoid being put in the concentration camps that will be empty and need people to keep the prison companies' profits up.
This is just a reminder/informative comment noting multiple USSC rulings since the 1970s have allowed CBP to violate the First and Fourth Amendments with impunity, as long as they are within 100 miles of an international border. Critically, ports of entry, such as international airports, are legally considered international borders. This means that virtually the entire US population is within 100 miles of a "border".
My hope is that once all the farm/meat packing workers get deported, we realize that we don't have any food left. After a few months of being vegetarian, the red-meat eating conservatives will back-track and finally open up a legal path for all those workers to be here.
One key problem with using military, in national emergency martial law power, is "put anyone brown looking onto a bus". Don't you carry your citizenship papers on you at all times?
