Hm, I wonder if this should also be posted in both the FAFO thread (Michiganders voted for Trump and his policies) and the Trump Economy threads.

I think the damage done is not fixable, sadly

I have been saying this in the World Cup thread, people are not coming here to be rounded up by ICE.

I mean the people who can afford those crazy ticket prices are probably not the ones being targeted by ICE. I say this as a Latino.

Seriously, folks. You have to read this article. This 65-year-old British woman was not in violation of US law but was locked up in a detention camp for 6 weeks anyway.

MAGA posters on these threads frequently ask variations of "What do you think the [insert European country] authorities would do if you, as an American, overstayed your visa?" I seriously doubt that Europeans or North Americans who are detained for whatever reason for immigration-related issues in other developed countries are INCARCERATED in DETENTION CAMPS for weeks and months in terrible conditions, shackled, forced to sleep on the floor, and left cold and hungry.

You are really naive if you think this. Did you read the Guardian article? They shackled a 60+ white British grandma who had a valid tourist visa and kept her in a prison for over 40 days even though - forget the fact that she wasn't a criminal and that she was there completely legally - even though she immediately signed papers to self-deport and had the money to pay for the ticket.

Agents are getting paid per person detained. And private prisons get money for holding people.

Nobody should come to this country. It is absolutely dangerous to foreigners.

PP everyone is responding to in previous posts. Trust me. I didn’t vote for the guy and I think Latinos in everyday life should be scared. And I think the ones who did vote for him are dumb AF. But the images of a bunch of ICE agents arresting World Cup attendees/rich tourists is even too much for Trump and Co. That would really ruin their narrative (for the saps who still believe it) that ICE is only going after the bad hombres.

I think you may be right - months ago DHS was bragging that they were going to have ICE all over the Super Bowl but once it happened they were nowhere to be found. Regarding the Latinos who voted for him - they’re among the first who have flipped back and his approval numbers with them are terrible.

Images of ICE murdering white people certainly hasn't stopped them.
