so why are they almost exclusively focused on brown immigrants vs European ones? why aren't they going after wealthy white business owners who employ undocumented immigrants? why are they going after immigrants who are here legally or are following the legal procedures? why have citizens been pulled into their unconstitutional dragnet? why aren't they providing decent food or health care to people in custody? why are there reports of sexual assault by employees in detention centers?

you are being extremely naive if you think white supremacy isn't motivating these actions.


Charitable of you to assume good faith or truth from the accusers.

a lack of a social safety net (and what little there is is often punitive and degrading)

transgenderism is not a thing. transgender people are real, however.

trans people are at greater risk of violence and sexual assault (sometimes because sex work is the only way for them to survive). being arrested as a trans woman could mean being placed in a jail/prison with cis men, again, putting them at greater risk of violence and sexual assault.


Is it really a problem though?


It seems to be, given how many people voted for "mass deportations".

It also makes it easier for employers to get away with poor working conditions for those workers.


You point out the views of anti-gun folks while failing to note that all those loud & proud 2A advocates seem to be pretty happy with the current turn of events and not showing up at all as the government overreaches and repeatedly shits on the Constitution. I imagine there a quite a number of Don't Tread On Me gun lovers in ICE.


hell no. i quit tech with a lot less because life is too short.


Congress is not powerless. They have ceded their powers over time. They have refused to stand up for their powers, especially under the Republicans, who could have voted to impeach but did not, who could still vote to impeach but will not. Why won't they? Because they are complicit. They have been working towards one-party domination for decades.
