My dad was an illegal immigrant in the US for like 2 decades until he got citizenship I think. I don’t remember the details but I just remember when I was in grade school my mom was like “your dad got his citizenship!” Or something like that.

I mean I'd call that the definition of a death spiral in a democratic system, so against your own constituency you need basically a king to prop-up your political career.

I don't think Vivek is in the same boat. I've met more than my share of Viveks. He's just on the constant prowl for the next payout. He would absolutely use any political office to increase his personal fortune and he'd burn the whole fucking world if it meant an extra dollar. I don't think he ever intended to win any nominations. He just knew it was the fastest way to boost his public profile with the lawmakers he needed in pocket.

Was watching a video from the guy who lays into the diamond trade due to its abuses of the poor people in Africa and it’s literally stealing of wealth from African nations. He summed up this thought pretty well when it comes to non black minorities accepting of GOP bullshit, “no matter how bad it is, at least I’m not black”. Don’t know what Candace Owens excuse is, but the others that’s exactly what goes through their brains.

While true for Gandhi's early life, by the time he left South Africa his views had changed dramatically and he advocated for full equality for all races.

That's the thing about Gandhi, he was able to learn and change his point of view over time. There isn't just one Gandhi for all time, forever.

Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon B. Johnson

u/Apprehensive-Ad-1826 Jul 20 '24

My wife immigrated from so we’ve dealt with the system a bit. This was under trump so it might have changed a bit. There’s a limited amount of people that come in from any given country is capped at a certain number. That’s number is affected by the amount of people immigrating illegally and the people that are trying to get a green card after immigrating illegally puts a lot of stress on the system in terms of resources. So it’s actually much more difficult to process an application if from Mexico than it is for other countries and it’s they are usually backlogged for years. That’s how our lawyer explained it to us anyway.

45

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '24

Just to clarify, the number of immigrant visas allowed for each country is the same. We replaced the racist quotas meant to keep America white with a system that now grants the same number of total visas to China as it does to The Bahamas.

If you're trying to immigrate from a populous country or one with high immigration to the US (like Mexico), it takes a long time to process. Some people have had to wait 25 years.

Illegal immigration does not affect the quota system; the reverse is true. Many illegal immigrants don't come the legal way because they don't want to wait for half a decade to get approval.

6

u/swishandswallow Jul 20 '24

Do you have a source for that? Because the cap is on the amount of Visas being given out. A green card aka a work permit is NOT a visa. The cap on Visas changes but it has nothing to do with undocumented immigrants because they're not applying for Visas.

You'll find this is a common theme with Indians tbh. For context I'm Indian, I've studied in the US and returned back. And full disclosure I wanted to stay, was in a nice progressive area and have to return to conservative nuts. But family shit happens. Anyway I've seen many many Indians go there and they were modi enjoyers to begin with and happily drink the Republican koolaid, even if some of them talk Democrat until the green card comes in (so many tulsi and Biden fans I've seen mysteriously take the short trek to Vivek and then Trump in the last 5-6 years). They're the perfect embodiment of the whole 'crabs in a bucket' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality) thing. Was lucky enough to meet a few progressive Indian immigrants in the US, but the sample size of what I just described above is 100s of people. It's anecdotal but it gets to a point where you're actively avoiding these parties and these large get togethers and stuff because this is like almost all the other Indians in the community. Idk man I thought these people would know better being educated and at least decently wealthy if not insanely wealthy. Most of the closest friends I made ended being non Indians lol

I think xenophobic is a good word for it since they tend to be bigoted against people from basically all other cultures. Whereas a racist white American likely wouldn't make much distinction between themselves and a white Brit or Canadian,. Bigoted Japanese people will look down on Koreans, Chinese, etc. Hell, they discriminate against ethnic Japanese people that are descendents of those that lived in Brazil. Xenophobic is a more useful word.

Unless they get cops to just detain anyone who looks non white, I don’t see how they’ll have the man power to deport every undocumented immigrant. There’s not enough ICE agents or cops to do the work legitimately, so they’ll just have to round us up.

This might sound like a sweeping generalization (and racist) but it feels like South Asians folks genuinely look down on black people and love to kiss yt ass. I’ve seen it at work in RSA, NY, Hong Kong, and now London. Comments on social media, people like Mindy Kaling, and the UK’s last Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, reflect this. Usha Vance probably didn’t even notice the posters, and if she did, she likely didn’t think they were talking about people like her. Not saying all are like this, but my experience hasn’t been great.

I am Indian and we re absolutely braindead. So many Indians in the country and outside throw in with white conservatives not realizing they view us as lower than dirt. Oh no “we’re the good ones” bitch shut the fuck up they’re coming for you next. They also love the conservative government in India but would never dream of moving their families back. With her and Vivek though I think it’s just saying whatever to get that bag. Vivek is a career grifter as is.

Im Chinese and I see it in the older generation of Chinese. Although I think the younger generation is much better about this. The fear mongering about Communism unfortunately works on the older generation. You see this with Cubans and Venezuelans as well. They lived through tough times in their home country so the fear mongering works even though GOP doesn't actually care about them.

My older relatives actually voted Trump in 16, but through many shouting matches and heated arguments, I've finally made them see the light when it comes to Trump. They still lean conservative, but they finally understand what is at stake and how batshit the current GOP has become. If Mitt Romney were the candidate, they would probably still vote GOP, but I think some progress has been made here so I'm okay with it for now.

They absolutely do. Living in the Bay Area, I’ve observed that they fully embrace the racial hierarchy in the US. This is unsurprising given that the caste system is still very much alive and well in South Asia.

I mean to be fair South Asians occupy absolutely no space in the minds of black folks so the hate means very little, if anything to us. I always laugh when I hear about them not liking black people/darker skin because it’s like …ok? What do I do with this information?

That sounds like a sweeping generalization because it is. There are a number of Black politicians in the Republican party. You've got Black people holding "Blacks for Trump" signs at his rally. Would you call Black people "yt ass kissers" too or are you reserving your generalizations just for Indians?

Nikki Haley is a classic example of an Indian woman who wants so badly to be accepted by white conservatives despite being marginalized by them. You’ll see many more hanging out with white sorority girls than you see as allies for progressive causes. I believe a lot of it has to do with the disproportionate number of Indians immigrants coming from a privileged background themselves where they directly benefit from social stratification.

u/easy10pins Jul 20 '24

You know, the really sad thing about that image is none of them have a clue what mass deportation would do to our economy.

They don't understand who is out in the fields picking fruits and veggies, processing meat in plants, or building and maintaining infrastructure, offloading containers so they can get their flannel in 2 days.

It's all people from Central and South America.

She and the others know they’re only there because MAGA needs cover against the charges of racism and white supremacy because those charges don’t poll well. They’d never say it, maybe not even to themselves, but they’d be the first wave out in first class seats if Trump’s more extreme supporters gained power. Of course they’d then say “this isn’t what the movement was about when I was in it,” which is true but not in the way most would think. It was about getting paid and not spent.

It’s not just FYIGM, its also them rallying hatred toward a particular kind of immigrant. Quite literally during his first administration, Trump spoke openly about sending people back that come from the wrong places or “shithole countries.”

They don’t mind immigration at all provided you’re white or are an acceptable minority.

This image on the bottom right makes me very uncomfortable. The USA is a country founded on immigration. Our founders illegally immigrated to the great detriment of the people who already lived here.

It really drives home how we’ve taken a wrong turn and, in November, our country may fully commit to a path from which there is no coming back.

These people have never cared about legal vs. illegal migration. It’s all about skin colour. When they say they want immigrants deported they specifically mean they don’t want any black or brown people coming into their country. They don’t give a shit where you’re from or how you got in if you’re white.

Indeed. People would rather meme than understand why these people end up voting the way they do. 90% of what Trump says are lies, but he’s building off the 10% of real problems that exist in the country, such as broken immigration.

I remember we went to Ireland a few years ago. Everyone we spoke to lived around NYC for a time. They all said the economy was bad so they came to the US, overstayed their visas and worked as servers and bartenders. That was mind-blowing that literally dozens or Irish people all did the same thing.

Lots of legal immigrants feel the same way. They resent those that skipped the line they waited in. This is why Trump is doing so well with Hispanic voters as compared to previous Republicans. If Democrats keep labeling these voters as racist, they’re going to lose them. Of course, plenty of the MAGA crowd are racist and just hate all non white immigrants.

In my mind, it would be hilarious if Trump wins, gets impeached again and Vance, a long-time Democrat who only became republican in 2022, takes control and realigns with Democrats.

That would be a nice plot twist. But, that’s wishful thinking.

Being allowed to say openly you want to deport 11 million people without any kind of shame nor social repercussions means that whatever social adjusting behavior you have in place isn't working.

It's unhinged that this can be an acceptable discourse. Like explain to me how you are going to do that? Sending the military to every home asking for papers? Dividing entire families apart?

Do you want a civil war? Because this is how you get one. There's no chance that 11 million people and their families will leave without fighting for their lives.

Gestapo shit, people supporting this are literal degenerates. They get pleasure out of someone else's suffering.
