Are you terrified that YOU could be wrongly deported and then the US would refuse to bring you back?

Would I have any prayer of pulling this off? Absolutely not. That’s because I am an American citizen, and the UK has laws that are enforced without apology. Simple as that.

Can we just be like them and skip all the pearl-clutching and histrionics? Either we are a country that cares about its citizens or we are not. We can’t claim to govern well and then take all comers in the name of “compassion”. None of us go to sleep each night without locking our doors.

If you are here illegally, the pucker factor should keep you up at night.

So you'd be fine if your kid just got caught up, decided to stay and ended up suddenly arrested and incarcerated in CECOT (good for the US good for the UK). He (and you) and no notice. No opportunity to contest the allegation. No opportunity to have a lawyer. No opportunity for the two of you to communicate. And no idea when, if ever, he would be released from CECOT. And you're ok with that.

What part of "deciding to stay" not being legal is hard for you to understand?

What part of “detained by ICE even though you have proven citizenship” is hard for you to understand? Are you just ignoring us all saying that over and over or does your head hurt?

Why? Because they have heard stories of others having difficulty reentering.

i think they should think long and hard about whether they want to continue to stay in the US. it may be better for them to return to their own homeland.

I was responding to the made up scenario I quoted, reading comprehension not your thing?

And the mask falls off… “we are only against illegal immigration”, at the core this is who you MAGAs are. Why should Green Card holders go back? They have paid billions in taxes to support SSDI in Appalachia and middle America, they will stay here and make sure they get the benefits and resources this place has to offer.

You are not that clever, we see the play here. Get work done from Black and Brown people and then discard them, time to get your own a$$es to work.

Are you terrified that your president and his cabinet weren’t vetted? You should be.

I’m not scared of getting deported.

I’m scared that DOGE used AI to create a folder full of my moderately left, capitalist, pro-social-order posts and somehow will use my ferociously moderate support for everyone just getting along into a reason to shoot me and dump me in a mass grave, or at least to cause me embarrassing delays when I try to board airplanes for vacations.

But why? They followed the rules in getting a green card. They’ve built lives here. Why should they suddenly have to move away leaving behind friends, family, jobs, communities, etc. while we fall further into fascism.

So much for only deporting the criminals.
