    This is good to hear but we need to do everything we can to make each attempted deportation difficult. It’s a shame that I don’t know any undocumented immigrants to protect, and neither do you.

        Hopefully they are talking to people who definitely for sure do not know anyone in the country illegally.

        And maybe also people who definitely for sure do not have an attic and if they do, that door was sealed up years ago, so no one could possibly be up there.

        Until it is you, being deported.

        I mean, hell: what happened to initial supporters every time a fascist took power?

        They were all eliminated, to prevent a coup.

          I’m sure this imaginary scenario works on most of the boobs that comprise the user base of this platform, but that’s not going to work here. I’m a legal citizen of my country. I’m not a criminal. I’m not going anywhere.

          Furthermore, the fAsCiSm boogie man is old, tired, and trite.

            Jews were legal citizens of Germany. Indigenous people are citizens of the US.

            Both have been, and we’re deported.

            And, chances are, you are a criminal. Most citizens commit one felony a day, on average.

              Well I’ll tell ya what. When the government comes to take me away for doing nothing, and I manage to get my hands on an internet connected device, you’ll be my first contact, just so I can say, you were right. But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, especially if you’re a member of a species that requires the inhalation of oxygen.

              Also, BRB, gotta go commit my daily felony.
