You forgot to mention that many red states didn’t take the ACA expansion so their own politicians are screwing over their hospitals. But instead of being mad at your selfish politicians, you’re mad at the brown people. Just the way they want you, so they can keep manipulating you to keep them in office even though they do nothing to improve your lives. |
ICE, CBD, DHS, Kristi Noel, Marco Rubio etc all are completely untrustworthy. Their goal is to terrorize everyone. Everyone.
The US has not brought back the LEGAL and totally innocent Venezuelans who are imprisoned in El Salvador. The cruel and unnecessary deporting of high school students, moms, and other low hanging fruit, who are danger to absolutely no one is, pales in comparison. I never thought I'd be so ashamed of my country. |
I agree that it will generally be poor white people who end up doing the work, but not for the reasons you note. At the end of the day, anyone with brains or means will find a way to survive. The rest are just billionaire chattel. |
If someone is here under TPS or is going to a hearing to adjudicate their status, they are not an "illegal" and yet, that is who ICE is rolling up. Just beuing in the country undocumented is not a crime, per the SCOTUS with a conservative majority. |
I don't believe that ICE rolled up 1400 people and 800 of them had criminal records. That is just laughably false. |
Then why did Trump undo the measures to vet the migrants via the CPB App? |
They want us to get used to it
And be afraid. It's too soon for most of us to be afraid. The masked "ICE" is not the U.S. Don’t get gaslit. |
How do we even know these are ICE agents? They cover their faces, they don't show badges, they are wearing civilian clothing and "official" looking garb that is easily purchased on Amazon. |
Exactly. Assume that they are abducting people unless they can prove otherwise. Videotape them, the license plates, and VIN numbers of their vehicles. The masks can’t hide their identifying Nazi tattoos. |
Yes, I think what the ICE agents are doing is despicable. There's no honor in standing outside of an immigration court - a court specifically designed for those following the correct path to citizenship - and rounding them up. That's the equivalent of paying money to go on a hunting safari at an animal park where the animals are bred in captivity for hunting and posting a photo on social media of your big kill. Pathetic. What resources are they taking up? Provide proof. The #1 recipient of Medicaid is white people. Here's proof. https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/data-and-systems/downloads/macbis/2020-race-etncity-data-brf.pdf Illegals can't get free healthcare in most states. I live in VA. Here's what it says for VA: Can Undocumented Immigrants Get Free Or Low-Cost Healthcare in Virginia? No, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for free or low-cost healthcare in Virginia. However, Virginia does provide some limited health care services to undocumented immigrants. These services include emergency care and essential medical services for certain conditions such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and cancer. Furthermore, local and community health centers may also provide care to undocumented immigrants on a sliding scale fee basis. Can Undocumented Immigrants Get Health Insurance From Aca Marketplace in Virginia? No, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to purchase health insurance from the ACA Marketplace in Virginia, or any other state. Only individuals with valid Social Security numbers or with U.S. citizenship status are eligible to buy through the ACA Marketplace. Children and pregnant women can get Medicaid in VA if they meet certain requirements. https://www.uscisguide.com/undocumented-immigrant/undocumented-immigrants-healthcare-benefits-in-virginia/ And the reason why those good blue collar jobs went to immigrants instead of white people? Because of our society's push for college for all. That's the reason. I was in HS in this area from 1996-2000. It was drilled into our heads that college = success. The only kids who were even allowed to do VoTech courses were those who made the worst grades or were POC. The kids that the school knew would never be able to go to college. So it looked better for the school to be able to say 100% graduation rate with 90% off to a 4-year school, 5% off to community college, 5% graduating with degrees/certifications in service industry jobs that they got through VoTech. The push for all HS seniors to go to college created the huge need for blue collar workers and not enough bodies to fill those jobs. Enter immigrants. They didn't STEAL the jobs as so many like to claim. They took the vacant jobs that white, educated men no longer wanted after finishing college. That's what has created the predicament we're in now of most degrees being worthless because everyone has one. When everyone's special, no one is special. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-migrants-stealing-jobs-experts-debunk-1939983 and https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/despite-trumps-claims-data-shows-migrants-arent-taking-jobs-from-black-or-hispanic-people and https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/545572-immigrants-do-not-steal-our-jobs-they-create-them-in-the-economy/ So now that FL is out hundreds of construction workers on the new FSU housing site, why are there not lines of white and black FL workers lining up for those jobs? It's summer break. FL is teeming with college-aged men. Why are restaurants closed instead of opened with white and black workers replacing the Hispanic workers that were taken? I grew up with a blue collar worker dad and a mom who worked as an office admin. No college between either of them. They provided excellent middle class lives for us. You cannot do that today. The pay hasn't kept up with the inflation of everything else. The house that my parents bought and raised us in back in 1992 was $169k and it just went on the market and sold for $990k. A tow truck driver and an office admin can't provide the quality of life today that my parents did years ago. But you know how the immigrants are able to provide good lives for their kids doing these jobs? Because they have multiple jobs and multiple family members living together to survive. |
You are joking right? There was no vetting with that app. It was simply a way for Biden to avoid the optics of hordes of people at the border. |
Then you are woefully uninformed about who Biden allowed in. |
So the guy burning innocent elderly American Jewish people with molotov cocktails and a homemade flame thrower was a good guy, according to democratic pp. Figures. |
