They grabbed a tourist off the street and detained her for eight hours while her daughter was left to fend for herself on the streets. NYC y’all better be starting some shit

Tourists should avoid the USA (not to blame the tourists in this story, of course)
I blame the parent. Nobody with the resources necessary for an international vacation has any excuse for being ignorant of the current political state of the US, our government is actively targeting visibly hispanic people regardless of legality and has not been quiet about it. Even if their trip had gone smoothly every dollar they spent here would be indirectly supporting the shit our government is doing. The child had no choice in the matter, the parent was a fucking moron who volunteered their child for a completely avoidable traumatic experience and helped fund Trump’s crimes in the deal.
It’s hard for people to believe this kind of crazy though.
American citizens should be avoiding the USA at this point as well. No-one is safe.
We can take a few american refugees, but we should limit it to the same measly numbers that the US has been accepting. That would be 50 000 per year.
Over a few millenia we could probably provide refuge for the vulnerable populations in the USA.
Americans hardly qualify as “refugees”, please don’t insult those who are.
Not yet. Not most of them.
I’m an American citizen and I got out. Absolutely zero regrets. Apparently it’s rapidly becoming increasingly common
Please return.
Or at the very least, stop being American.
Where did you go, if you don’t mind sharing? What was the process like?

I am using my position to help my local community back home :)
No, we don’t want American citizens anywhere else in the world, leave them in their containment nation.
They chose, overwhelmingly, the circumstances that they’re in.
I guess us LGBTQ and black/brown Americans should just put a bullet in our heads right now, then.
Many of us are looking on in horror of what is happening. There is nothing we can do, lest we too be jailed, or worse, killed by the gestapo. Just waiting for them to come for me next. I really need to get a passport.
Just giving a bit of perspective. Fuck the United States.
Upvoted bc “containment nation” made me lol. I get the downvotes though, liberalism has been eroding our rights and our will to rebel for a couple of generations now.
They did not choose overwhelmingly. ~30% chose. And even then, trump did not win the majority of the vote.
a third of the country voted for this, another third decided not to vote and thus allowed this.
That is true.
I’d say 30% are all for what’s happening and 10% are convinced the dems will put babies into to blenders and will always vote red. The remaining 10% switch their vote back and forth depending on how they feel about the economy. If they think it’s good the will vote for the incumbent, if they think it’s bad they vote for the other canidate. Then there are 2-3% of people that pick a random issue as their focus every year
Dude, fuck you. I didn’t choose this shit anymore than you did.
It’s true but they hate you for it. The US is lost for the next few decades.
Not until we make the police and ICE agents feel unsafe.
