   ❝ And, of course, it could be you, even if you do have papers, indeed even if you are a citizen. Trump has said that he will deport Haitians from Springfield, Ohio, even though the people in question are in the United States legally. The logic of the deportation is a political one, not a legal one. If your group seems like a useful target, you will be vulnerable.❞

     (1) Speak for yourself with this “we”

     (2) This “bUt tHE dEmS” reply completely, utterly fails to see the point of the OP, which is that as awful as our current xenophobic immigration policy is, Trump and Vance and describing something on a •completely• different scale, unprecedented in modern US history. Even the appalling “Operation Wetback” pales in comparison. By an order of magnitude.

     @inthehands we only care about humane immigration policies when republicans share their plans or are in power but then forget about it during dem administrations. We then end up in a situation where people are aghast when photos come out of kids in cages during Trump era only to say nothing when it turns out those pics were from Obama’s time
