    So they’re fucking stupid then? He’s been anti-immigrant since long before he was elected. What did they think was going to happen?

    you were all warned and didn’t listen. You thought it was okay for him to subjugate “those illegals” because you thought you were the “good ones” so therefore it was okay to harm those groups.

    Fuck you and enjoy not having a face

    All the people that can be convinced they are temporary embarrassed millionaires have been suckered by Republicans, Trump most of all. Unfortunately that includes people from all identity groups, although he really convinced poor and middle class whites the most.

        Not really. And it isn’t “woman bad”, it’s “culturally and religiously woman do x, y, and z- that list does not include lead”. Mexico addressed this head on my requiring political parties to nominate roughly equal numbers of men and women. North of the border, no such rules.

    Climbed the stairs.

    Voted to have the stairs pulled up behind them.

    Turned out they also voted to get kicked down from the platform themselves.

    Frankly, such immigrant rightwingers are the only bunch that actually deserve the tender mercies of the likes of ICE.

    (And for any knee-jerking “identity warriors” out there, never forget that immigrants are like everybody else and thus amongst them, plenty of people when they think they themselves are safe from it (“I’m alright Jack”) are just as nasty hearthless and selfish “conservative” and even fascist as the Republicans)

      …in my experience, first-generation-citizen demographics tend to skew hardest against undocumented immigrants; not sure whether that’s because they put in the time, effort, + cost to secure their own citizenship and thus resent those who haven’t done so in kind, or because they emmigrated to expressly to get away from their native demographic who comprise undocumented immigrants…

        Yeah, my experience is somewhere in between.

        First/Second Gens are anti-immigration. They’re used to political corruption keeping them from advancing. They see the right as creators of business opportunity. There are plenty of ways to exploit cheap labor and they can move up the food chain pretty quickly compared to home.

        They don’t care at all about others in their situation; they’ll step on whom they have to in the move up.

        Honestly, it’s the same view as a lot of the poor whites.

    It’s Christianity. A ton of immigrant Hispanics are extremely Christian and Republicans are historically the Christian party

      i was gonna say that he can’t even quote one verse from the bible but that tracks with the average christian., or at least conservatives. I’m not christian but i can cite multiple verses from the bible that i could reasonably say i like for one reason or another.

      Good Catholic families, a lot of which are probably older and more established than the states they reside in.

      I kind of half think there was a portion of Republicans that really believed that there were 100 illegal immigrants just going absolutely ham on the place and that was somehow the only real issue we had going on.

      Jokes on us I guess.

        Well they are. They’re just focused on those parts that are a bit less popular amongst ‘progressive christians’ such as hating the abortioners, the gays & the women

    I am baffled someone actually didn’t understand when a far-right white male politician says “illegals” they’ve always meant “people of color”

      It’s sort of like Springfield versus Shelbyville. To the people that live there, the difference is distinct and vast. To anyone on the outside, they might as well be the same place.
