Social Protests against immigration policy turn violent.

[WklySportsMemes]

There’s a huge difference between having a legal visa expire and remaining here until everything gets straightened out (Covid vaccine is stopping him, really?) and sneaking under a fence or paying someone to smuggle you into the country where your sole purpose was to break the law to get into the uS. I also seriously doubt that her husband is out stealing handbags from high end stores and committing other crimes.

The people doing the protesting with flags are not necessarily illegals or criminals.

I agree, there is a big difference in people escaping poverty from 3rd world scenarios vs privileged 1st world people being entitled to more of it.

But status is status.

no wonder you're a victim of brainrot

Riley gaine's husband isnt being deported

USCIS Waives COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement for Adjustment of Status Applicants | USCIS

Effective Jan. 22, 2025, USCIS is waiving any and all requirements that applicants for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident present documentation on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.

it's the opposite, he's going to be a citizen soon

never meet your heros, especially if they're teenage youtubers

Nothing says brainrot like a Kanye stan. Idiot, it was a video of what Riley Gaines said. All I said was I HOPE he gets the same treatment as other immigrants & he was for sure in jeopardy until rule change.

All I see are Americans…

You're really dumb if you think the majority of the protesters voted for Trump.

I’m Mexican and live in LA and these people protesting on the freeway are morons. I dgaf if you protest but protesting on the freeway is stupid as fuck. The protests are getting attention yes, but at the cost of pissing a lot of people off, many that already agree with what they’re protesting anyways. Hundreds of thousands of LA residents are living paycheck to paycheck and have shit they need to get done on a daily basis, not to mention the thousands of people dealing with the aftermath of the fires. Fucking up their day isn't helping anyone.

 

[Hog-train]

I disagree. Start with the criminals, that way when rights groups like the alcu start challenges, they are fighting for shitheads they commit crimes not related to sneaking under a fence

That's exactly what they're doing. Don't believe the sob stories coming out.

There are approximately 655,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records and another 1.4 million that have existing deportation orders. These are what they're going for.

But we are woefully understaffed to be able to even make a dent.

Who Are the Millions of Immigrants Trump Wants to Deport?

Trump wants to end several programs that offered new arrivals temporary relief. Millions of others without legal status may also be vulnerable to deportation.

They should be using watter cannons to break this shit up when they block roads.

They were using Nerf guns.

 

[HereticBD]

Protests should be legal. Blocking highways and causing havoc are not. Time to bring federal charges and jail these people (since we know the state won't do it).

Yeah, people tend to think that "Peaceful Protest" is a free for all. If you block streets without a permit, and vandalize a bunch of shit, it ain't "peaceful". Turn the hoses on them.

They want to takeover the United States of America.

You’re saying that the difference is privilege vs non privilege and I am pointing out that it is legal immigration (initially) vs sneaking into the country. There is a huge difference there that has little to do with privilege.

Well you stole 60% of Mexican territory, now deal with it.

I know they just did a raid in my state that was based on being in the country illegally vs going after the criminal element. I said the same thing in a fb post about going after the criminals first and I 100% knew what responses I would get from rednecks and old trump women “what part of illegal don’t you get?”

The status is granted & based off privilege though. Some people are going to get deported due to status change who were once legal.
Sometimes ever changing legalities conflict with what's the best moral prioritization.

Sounds like you would consider a majority of illegal immigrants that come here "bad citizens" just due to crossing the border right?
Is that a fair assessment of your position?

No, it’s not fair. I would like to do a draft of the people we keep and the people we kick out. Many are good citizens but then again, too many are not the kind we want as evidenced by the crime rate in nyc going way up with the surge of illegal immigrants.

And my position as to Riley bf is that he was here legally once. The people sneaking across the border never were.

My point exactly. They are turning people against them that either don’t care or were on their side. This would piss me off beyond belief-probably to the point of almost getting violent

Here's the ultimate source quoted from the NYP:

So basically two cops who made wild estimates not based in arrest data or any other reliable system, just their personal anecdotes. Good to know its not a real stat.

Cool, you can safely ignore the problem while crying about trump like msnbc tells you to. That was a close one.

Look at the flags they wave yet they want to stay in the United States of America.

It's gotta be the least constructive protest ever. Yeah, put targets on your backs and show that you hate America. Brilliant!

It would be so perfect if ICE set up raids for these protests.

This will fix things

While it would be humorous to see that, on what basis would ice be able to have any contact with those protesters? Because they look Latin or are waving a Mexican flag? That does not give them any right or authority to question them

 

[DoctorTaco]

Well you stole 60% of Mexican territory, now deal with it.

and overthrew a whole bunch of South American governments over the last 50 years causing immense turmoil and strife in those nations. Crazy that people are seeking asylum to get away from those spots
