[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just don’t be an undocumented traveler, illegal in any way or have any kind of a criminal record. It’s not because of your BIPOC or LMNOP status. They will have their hands full. [/quote]

Or just be white. [/quote]

+1. My SIL and I are going to the Caribbean for a week over the inauguration.  By FIL keeps asking us not to go because he thinks we’ll be trapped outside the US. I hate Trump, but was finally like— we are two 50 year old white women, multigenerational American citizens, with global entry. And I’m a federal employee with clearance.  If we can’t get in, no one can get in. And at that point, I’d be more concerned about getting my kids and husband out. Because something would be going very, very wrong. Like, Gilead wrong

Very aware that I have an enormous amount of white privilege here.   If I was a Black US citizen, I would probably also not be concerned. Plenty of racism in Trump, but Black isn’t first on the target list. If I was Hispanic or Middle Eastern or maybe Asian (I’d say or Chinese, but Trump can’t tell Chinese from Vietnamese from Thai), I probably would not have planned the trip. Even with a US passport. Trump is big on implement on the toilet based on a Fox News piece and plan never.

And agree, you can’t hit the deportation numbers Trump says he’s going to hit by following the law. And it’s easier to start by keeping LPRs out than deport people. [/quote]
