What they don't realize is what happens after the poor immigrants have been deported and poor people bussed out. There's only so many groups before it's their turn
You mean become a billionaire? These people are incredibly rich. Grandfather of Usha was professor at India's best institue. Her parents are professors are UC San Deigo and another instiutute. She graduated from Yale Law school and was lark clerk to a judge appointed by Trump. Absolutely shameful that Vivek and Usha ended up this way, when they could have done so much for change with their money and power. Shameful for me as a Indian in US.
They are already saying Vance won't defend "white identity" when he has a brown son named Vivek. And keep talking about his brown kid with the not white name... Those poor fucking kids...
She's a defacto insurrectionist: we need to deport her to whatever shithole country barfed her parents out. She didn't "take" and neither did JD Vance: he can go with her. And neither should be buried in the USA.
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.
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.
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.
She is probably from one of Indias upper castes. Its all class warfare, shes rich so these racists arent a real threat to her so she can pander for their vote with a clear conscience.
Stephen Miller is still their pick for cabinet member and he’s still an open NeoNazi who wants a “peaceful ethnic cleansing” of brown people in America that absolutely includes the wives of GOP members.
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
The funny thing is that assimilated Jews of Germany thought the same when hitler started his anti Jew hate - they thought they would be ok because they were one of the good ones. Sadly, they were very wrong and were sent too, to the concentration camps. Fucking idiots those who are poc and vote Trump
Also important to note that the former president's wife's parents got citizenship based on a program that Trump campaigned against as he was campaigning against it.
“We’re gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing - anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents.We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious. We’re gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo.”
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.
Spending enough time in those spheres makes it easy to pick up. I know less about citizenship in other countries without using Wikipedia as a source or if there is youtube videos about the process.
Unconditional birthright citizenship is actually rare for most countries. In Europe for example, no country offers unconditional birthright citizenship (at least one parent of citizenship is usually needed). I'd be okay with a more nuanced form of citizenship. For example, if you are born in the US and live there at least X years, you gain citizenship automatically, instead of this bullshit where Russian elite fly over, give birth, then fly back to their home country.
Depends entirely on where those countries are. In the Americas birthright citizenship in the norm. Almost every country in the Americas has it. In Eurasia it's the opposite.
That guy sounds crazy. Hopefully, he doesn't become the next AG. Trump has said he wants to change birth right citizenship laws. If he does, what Mike Davis says will be legal.
At this point I don’t even think legal immigrants are safe. 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.
As a Cuban immigrant who got my citizenship at 15 thanks to my parents taking the test, at this point I’m just gonna get a gun and hope I don’t have to use it. 🤷♀️
At this point I don’t even think legal immigrants are safe.
The fact that the previous administration stripped kids from their parents and took no care to keep track of them kind of proves that they won't care about checking the legal reasoning behind one's immigrant status before they push you out of the train in the middle of the Sonoran desert.
Hunting License in a majority of the states is very simple to acquire and the only requirement is residency in said state.
Some FFLs in Rural areas may be unsure of this law and refuse transfers but the ones in suburban and urban areas are aware and do transfers without issues provided all documents are present and legal.
You’re right, legal immigrants and people born in America can be deported any time. I saw a documentary called Born in East LA that showed this exact situation.
What I wonder about are the people that will ratchet up hostility as a way of keeping themselves safe. Kind of like when the harshest critics of Gays were actually Gay themselves but destroying the lives of Gay people. Something like that making everything more worse than we could imagine.
Yep, they are going to turn millions of people "illegal" overnight by revoking birthright citzenship and start arresting a deporting folks born in America because their parents are immigrants. Imagine being forcibly deported to a country you have never been to before because your skin is brown. it will be pure chaos if they try this and it will destroy the country.
Lets hope, this is what they say they want to do, i am hoping they dont get enough power in congress to pull it off but if its an executive order backed by the supreme court all bets are off. We are living in unprecedented times, no one really knows for sure whats going to happen next.
Look at the shit-eating grin on this motherfucker at the beginning of the video. His clear message here is: “I’m going to deport every brown person I possibly can - including legal immigrants - and I’m going to love every second of it.”
Ugh. Makes me want to vomit. Even more nauseating is the fact that - apparently - millions of voters not only support this kind of policy, but they do so cheerfully.
They're gonna be deporting natural born citizens eventually. There is no end state of fascism. It needs an other to hate. Once "illegal immigrants" loses its terror, they'll switch to "immigrants." Then "non-Americans." "Non-white." "Impure." Until brown eyes makes you a second class citizen.
ICE has already “mistakenly” deported U.S. citizens. You don’t automatically get a lawyer in deportation proceedings. So if they pick you up, you’re pretty much fucked.
Most don't know this is how it will happen. It'll be thousands of "accidents" according to the state and they'll say their hands are tied to use state resources to remedy any of them. It's not going to be bullhorns going through the 'burbs ordering Democrats into the busses in the streets.
They won't deport us. They'll concentrate us into camps because we are society's undesirables who can't be seen within the nation's cities and towns because we are "trouble". After our humanity has been stripped away and we are just pests to them, we will be as valuable as dirt. History repeats itself and it sad the nation who has had access to learn that history is the one that will restart the cycle.
She did a nude photo shoot in 1995 that raised questions about whether the photo shoot was in line with the visa she had at the time, but other than that, yes, her immigration was done legally.
She apparently got her citizenship under an "Einstein visa". That seems like it could possibly be a fraudulent categorization therefore leaving a crack for having her citizenship revocation.
I think conservatives would be more sympathetic to an immigrant who got a visa and overstepped the visa more than towards a person who snuck in with no visa. Especially of the former took the steps to eventually get the correct visa. I'm a progressive, but even I can recognize that not every conservative is a racist hypocrite.
Immigrants with the wrong shades of skin. But how exactly will they know if a Hispanic/South Asian person is legal or illegal or even a citizen? So they'll put all colored people in 'verification' (detention) centers to verify that they are actually legal immigrants/citizens.
Except, once they are in the 'verification' centers, who is to say what happens to their property/money. I really hope POC who support republicans right now are delusional. There are no model minorities, if you are a minority in any sense you will be on the chopping block sooner or later.
People are documented and undocumented. No one is illegal. Calling people illegal is dehumanizing. Immigration status isn't a static thing. People often go from an undocumented to documented status and vice versa.
Any mass deportation exercise is going to harm immigrants regardless of status.
Edit - hilarious how many people are trying to make the legal vs illegal distinction, as if that matters to MAGA folk. To them immigrant = a dog whistle that means brown folk.
yep these are pretty light-skinned wealthy women. those are not the immigrants the right is worried about.
Hypocrisy isn't a bug for his fans, but a feature. In the end they will define what an immigrant is however they. And they will change that willy nilly.
I know a lot of MAGA people at work and none of them have an issue with legal immigrants. Some are legal immigrants themselves. The right has done an excellent job of villainizing illegal immigrants over the last decade.
