That is who we are actually. We’re the nation that makes individuals who aren’t white depart the nation as a result of they’re not white. And that is in keeping with this administration’s personal press launch, which celebrates the truth that we’re now the inverse of the phrases engraved on the Statue of Liberty’s base, which learn:
Give me your drained, your poor
Your huddled lots craving to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Ship these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me
I elevate my lamp beside the golden door!
That was when America was nice… or at the very least periodically tried to be. That is who we are actually:
The Trump administration is on tempo to shatter historic data and deport practically 600,000 unlawful aliens by the top of President Donald Trump’s first 12 months since returning to workplace. Two million unlawful aliens have left america in lower than 250 days, together with an estimated 1.6 million who’ve voluntarily self-deported and greater than 400,000 deportations.
Are these data we need to be “shattering?” This doesn’t sound like America, the melting pot that when was a welcoming refuge for these subjected to violence, poverty, political/spiritual persecution of their house nations. Now, we’re simply the nation of Get The Fuck Out, ejecting hard-working non-criminals who commit fewer crimes and pay extra taxes than these blessed to be white sufficient to keep away from this ethnic purge that’s been marketed as making this nation “safer.” Depart earlier than ICE comes for you. The options — international gulags, war-torn nations, perennial human rights violators — are worse than leaving to your house nation earlier than the federal government goons make this determination for you.
I imply, take heed to this fucking bullshit:
“The numbers don’t lie: 2 million unlawful aliens have been eliminated or self-deported in simply 250 days— proving that President Trump’s insurance policies and Secretary Noem’s management are working and making American communities protected,” mentioned Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Ramped-up immigration enforcement focusing on the worst of the worst is eradicating increasingly prison unlawful aliens off our streets day by day and is sending a transparent message to anybody else on this nation illegally: Self-deport or we’ll arrest and deport you.”
This can be a lie. And it’s not even a very artful one. Anybody with half-assed Googling expertise might show this assertion incorrect. Most immigrants don’t commit prison acts, and those that do commit prison acts do it at a price that’s far decrease than that of natural-born residents of this nation.
ICE pretends that it’s doing God’s work (actually pretends, lest you assume in any other case) however all it’s actually doing is focusing on folks due to their pores and skin coloration and depriving them of their due course of rights.
ICE’s personal stats make it clear that each phrase popping out of the federal government’s mouth in reference to immigration enforcement is a lie, not that this administration provides a single fuck whether or not or not anybody thinks it’s mendacity.
Immigrants with no prison file are actually the largest group in US immigration detention, in keeping with information launched by the federal government. The variety of folks with no prison historical past arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and detained by the Trump administration has now surpassed the variety of these charged with crimes.
[…]
In response to the official information, 16,523 folks in immigration detention with no prison file had been arrested by Ice, in comparison with 15,725 who do have a prison file and 13,767 with pending prison prices.
Everybody is aware of the federal government doesn’t actually care whether or not you’ve got a prison file or not. The fixed stress from the administration to extend each day arrests signifies that being a migrant and/or having brown pores and skin makes you a goal. The message has been despatched: solely whites are welcome right here. That’s why individuals are self-deporting. And that’s why the info exhibits ICE has lengthy since run out of the “worst of the worst” to focus on:
Should you mix the 2 non-criminal numbers (these with no prison cost and those that haven’t been convicted), it’s a 2:1 ratio to immigrants who’re really convicted criminals. These are the actions of a regime that’s now not content material to wrap itself within the flag whereas shitting on long-held American beliefs. Now, it’s making an attempt to faux that doing the worst it might to the “least of my brethren” is doing the Lord’s work — that in some way the God that outlined himself with single phrase within the Bible (“love”) would condone the relentless cruelty that’s Trump’s mass deportation program.
We’re being robbed of a greater future — not simply because this administration has demonstrated the system of checks and balances is irrevocably flawed, but additionally as a result of we’re actively looking and ejecting some probably the most great, hardest-working folks on this nation: individuals who got here to this nation as a result of it was nonetheless the Land of Alternative. And the one factor this administration is demonstrating to folks everywhere in the world is that america might be simply as terrible as nations we are able to solely now condemn hypocritically.
