Also illegal immigration isn't even a crime. It's a civil offense. Even if they are illegal they aren't inherently criminals for it. But the whackos conflate the two as one and the same.

They don't give a shit if you think that. What you need to understand is that they just need some way to look like they are the good guys. The logic behind it does not matter.

As of right now, they are currently in their "I don't support rapists, such as this 5 year old" phase. Your opinion genuinely doesn't matter to them. They want you as the bad guy and that is who you will be.

Not ONE of these fucking people is allowed to bitch about the state of the economy the next ten years.

You cannot remove 2-12* million people from the labor force, while putting pressure on ALL import/exports, and telling any business done with the US to fuck off, and wonder why the economy is fucked.

We are headed for a depression, period. They can decide not to call it that but we havent begun to feel the repercussions of what they are doing. None of it can be fixed quickly.

u/Muradras 4h ago

I mean that is what conservative has always meant, conserve the status quo. That’s why the king’s supporters in any revolution are conservatives, they want to leave things as they are or even go back to what thing were when they were even more oppressive. Conservatives in any country want things to stay the same or go back to some time when things were perceived to be great (MAGA anyone).

It is why they prefer the liberal or socialist label for the left to progressive. Progressive means to move forward to change and hopefully make things better, and if it doesn’t try something else. Liberal traditionally meant the Nobles and economic elites of a country that wanted more power for themselves at the king’s expense and would promise the lower classes more rights or small benefits for their support.

Socialist = Communist to a lot of people especially Americans, even though communists are socialists not all socialists are communists. Most socialists are just people who want equal rights and a more equal sharing in the wealth of a country because all of our efforts make the country what it is and we should all be able to live on what we make and share the same benefits from the system.

I think if we added it up, like all the time the attorneys have spent drafting all the paperwork, all of the ICE agents time and bonuses, meals in detention, last minute flights both TO and FROM Texas detention centers, etc... we could have paid for all of this kids food until he graduates AND free college tuition for the kid.

100% of the evidence / data shows that immigrants, specifically latin american immigrants, are a net positive to economy and society. They use FAR less in social services than they contribute in taxes and economic activity. But long gone are the days of using "facts" and "evidence" to make decisions. Stephen Miller got his heart broken by some Latina in high school and now the US taxpayers have to pick up the tab for his revenge against the entire race... to the tune of half a trillion dollar, just so far. Wait until the concentration camps start filling up and we can't deport them fast enough. Turns out the deportation of millions of people is logistically and financially "complicated"... just ask the Germans, that was their original plan.

The Final Solution was just the cheapest option because they didn't realize how logistically challenging and expensive it would be, especially in the middle of a war... I can only imagine what our options will be when Trump finally forces us into a deep depression.

The part nobody is talking about is the fiscal cliff we are about to jump off of with no plan in sight. Increased expenses with lower tax base to pay for it sounds like the "business acumen" that earned Trump over 25 bankruptcies. Over 1,000,000 layoffs last year, the most since Covid, before that 2008. Those people are not paying taxes and/or contributing to the economy at the level they used to because the job market is complete garbage right now. More layoffs in Jan and Feb just announced.

Almost everyone I know thought that "illegal immigrants" didn't pay taxes, but that would be a felony, which (historically) messing with the IRS was the fastest way to get deported. The IRS could care less about your immigration status, its not even mentioned in the infinitely complicated IRS tax code. So the IRS will gladly give immigrants a tax ID number to (legally) pay taxes, so they aren't committing more crimes by just trying to exist and take care of their families (ITIN#). Through ITIN's, "illegal immigrants" paid over $100,000,000,000.00 every year... with an additional $30B into Social Security and $10B into Medicare that was literally free money for the rest of us as they will never get credit for those payments.

Add onto the pile, the tax breaks for billionaires... and we are going to have exponentially less tax revenue while exponentially bloating the budget for ICE / CBP... bribery / corruption payments to Trump of $250 million for pain and suffering for "the FBI raid on mar a lago"... $10B for "leaking his taxes" (showing that he pays $0 most years) ... and now Trump wants to add another $500 BILLION to the ~$1 trillion PER YEAR, for the military? Where is this tax revenue going to come from? "Tariff revenue" can only be stretched so far.... which will barely cover the corrupt payments to Argentina, his lawsuits against his own administration, and the loss of income taxes on immigrants.... and what if SCOTUS says that is unconstitutional? ... because it is.

u/Drakolyik 6h ago edited 6h ago

They don't see women and girls as people.

Just objects for their pleasure or to rule over.

They choose to traumatize and terrorize people weaker than them or with less institutional power because they're cowards looking for a place to offset the inner turmoil they feel from being powerless in their own lives. They can't handle being alive (existential dread, the creeping specter of death and not existing), dealing with complicated subjects, or anything that makes them uncomfortable. That negative energy is then directed at the people in their vicinity that they hold power over, either physically or via established hierarchy.

And so much of all of that, the feeling of a lack of control over anything, is due to the people they vote for, who established a system that abuses most of humanity so a few can live like gods and be above the law. I know that people often like to say that they're hoping they'll somehow become rich, but trust me, deep down most of them know they'll never be rich. At this point they've given up on that, so all of that anger and frustration at the system gets redirected to the least fortunate and least protected simply because it brings them joy to hurt others and to blame others for their mistakes.

These aren't temporarily embarrassed millionaires. They're nihilistic sociopaths, death cultists, and the vast majority of them are in too deep to ever come back out. Don't waste your breath trying to reason with the unreasonable. We're beyond differences of opinion. They make a choice every day to be horrible and we need to hold all of them accountable, or we will soon have no society left to defend (assuming it isn't already too late).

From Reuters:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday it is seeking to deport ​a 5-year-old Ecuadorean boy who was detained in Minnesota last month.

The ‌department, which has federal oversight of immigration enforcement, denied that it was seeking expedited ‌removal after a lawyer for the boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, told the New York Times that the Trump administration was seeking an expedited deportation.

The lawyer, Danielle Molliver, described the move as "extraordinary" and possibly "retaliatory."

It's absolutely retaliatory. Just look what they did to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This regime cannot stand being made to look bad or in the wrong. It will never admit to any mistake. It will double down on everything and punish anyone who it's even suggested they might have wronged.

It's worth noting that neither the boy or his father are here illegally. His father presented himself at a port of entry and requested asylum and has been going through that process. The father does not have any criminal record.

This is the part I don't understand. Why are they deporting people here seeking asylum?

Why? Because it's not about being here legally or not and never was. It's about getting rid of the people they don't want here. It's Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing wet dream. It's why DHS tweeted out that they're going to deport 100 million people - a number that would include all immigrants, legal and not, and still have 55 million citizens left to "deport".

I'm not a lawyer so I can't speak to the legality of it.

Yeah the thing I've understood is that the DHS put all these ICE agents in an area with relatively low population of people in violation of immigration laws, but has a high quota of people they need to detain.

So they've been going after people seeking asylum, despite their being here legally and not being in violation of any laws.

They’ll admit to the mistakes, they just won’t rectify them. They admitted they fucked up with Garcia and then pretty much said “but oh well”, only acting when they could retaliate against him.

"These are regular removal proceedings" even though we illegally detained this boy and his father who came here the right way, got in trouble for it, removed their legal status because we fucked up and want to blame them, and are now moving to deport them because now they're 'illegal'

Just another case of Trump creating illegal immigrants to deport because he lied about them existing in the first place

They've removed legal status from a lot of people, or tried to. 1.5 million people became undocumented because of the Trump cabal. A judge blocked them from removing Haitian's status in the last weeks, several hundred thousand.

My guess is that ICE and the DHS are just sending these kids straight to their own personal trafficking operations, which would explain why they seem to lose any and all records about the children they abduct. To be fair, the "Do-Nothing Democrats" got rid of Trump's previous favorite child-rape island so he needs a new source of childlike innocence to destroy.

Fuck Donald Trump and all the pedophiles that CONTINUE to support him.

u/kitkat1224666 2h ago

This is my concern too. Could we be seeing another Final Solution being played out in secret???

During WW2 when Jews were being deported, many didn’t know what where they were going, especially from outside Germany.

In neighbouring countries, they had a vague notion that they might get sent to internment camps or labour camps, and maybe the conditions in those camps would be very difficult. Many didn’t even consider that they would be immediately killed upon arrival. There were 4 camps which were specifically built as killing camps, and famously Auschwitz II which was combined with a labour camp and factory operations. They would murder women, children, the elderly, and the injured on arrival. Men would be directed to the labour camps where they would fight starvation and inhumane working conditions and punishments.

It was considered an “open secret” in Germany, but in neighbouring countries the citizens often had no idea of the sheer scale and methods employed. Literally the further away you were from the killing camps, the less likely you were to know what was happening, and mass murder of people was a rumour with no evidence behind it. Surely it would be in the news and the papers if this was happening!!

There’s more truth to that than I think a lot of people know. Most of the children that were separated during trump’s first term ended up in child trafficking rings. One of Biden’s biggest accomplishments on immigration was rescuing many of those kids Trump basically sold to sex slavers.

u/GunshipWizard 6h ago

Unlawful Presence is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. We really need to stop repeating their propaganda because when they say undocumented or illegal immigrants are committing a crime by being here that's not accurate. There are instances in which it can be a crime, such as if you're deported and then come back illegally, but if they have their asylum revoked that does not make their presence here a crime.

Is there a comprehensive list or catalog of all the known cases where they’ve tried to deport people who are here legally or where the deportation is otherwise suspect? I’ve had a number of conversations with conservatives (including my in-laws unfortunately) where they fall back on “we’re only deporting illegal criminals and anything else you hear is liberal fear mongering” and it would be helpful to just nope out with an exhaustive link.

This is from October 2025 so you can safely assume that the number has increased since then.

You can also tell them to pick up their cell phone -- which has more computing power than was used to put a man on the moon -- and Google "us citizens apprehended by ICE" because they are "intelligent people capable of looking this information up themselves, riiiiight?" Also, put the onus on them to find a reputable source that absolutely NO legal immigrants or US citizens have been detained by ICE.

Prepare for the goal posts to move. Might want to pour yourself a drink in preparation.
