“The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals,” Petro wrote. Petro said even though there were 15,660 Americans without legal immigration status in Colombia, he would never carry out a raid to return handcuffed Americans to the United States. “We are the opposite of the Nazis,” he wrote, in a jab at Trump. Mexico also refused a request last week to let a U.S. military aircraft land with migrants.
Mass deportations of legal citizens, sure. Nothing wrong with deporting illegal migrants.
If it was Americans illegally living in ,Colombia you’d be cheering for them to send the American back to the US.
Also, the actual prelude to death camps is banning and removing guns from the population.
you realize that’s what he’s already trying to do right?
That’s what ending birthright citizenship is all about. Millions of people who are currently considered to be American citizens will have that stripped from them and then they are free to be deported
Even before Trump, the US illegally deported lots of citizens by accident. Because practical legal protections against deportation were shit even back then.
So they don’t even have to make it legal. Just impossible to practically fight illegal deportation.

That’s not what ending birthright citizenship is about, it’s about stopping anchor babies or birthright tourism. It’s not about removing citizenship.
He’s doing it through the courts. declaring birthright citizenship unconstitutional doesn’t just affect future claims, it also affect past claims
I guess we’ll have to see
Do you know that the Jewish population in Germany were citizens? And then Hitler took their citizenship away. Just like they used to have rights, until they didn’t. Besides, just because something’s legal, doesn’t make it right. What’s legal and what’s not can change in the blink of an eye.
Yes. That’s not what’s happening here. None of the people being deported were ever citizens.
This person’s outright sadistic blindness or trolling aside, anyone reading this comment with good faith and not immediately having an aneurysm should remember that the once and current president once said, and I quote:
Link to the quote? I’d like to look into that more.
just Google it, it was a big news story at the time
The link that was posted gave context. He wasn’t trying to disarm the population, he was talking about confiscating a firearm from someone who’s been flagged as about to harm themselves or others.
does it really sound unlike any of the other authoritarian shit he says? here, i operated the search engine for you: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-take-firearms-first/
In your own damn link it says he was talking about those who are “red flagged”, or is alerted to authorities as someone who might do something. You know, like when someone posts a manifesto online, he was saying they should be able to confiscate their gun and then have the court process.
He certainly wasn’t saying he wants to disarm regular citizens.
well, you clearly demonstrated your reading comprehension on the Snopes article… perhaps you should exercise that same skill on my comment because nowhere did i mention any of that nonsense you replied with.
Right, you didn’t give any context to the quote and tried to insinuate he wanted to disarm the population.
Jews weren’t “legal citizens” in Nazi Germany. What is and isn’t “legal” is entirely made up.
They were prior to the law change. There is no law change here. The people being deported from the US were never us citizens.
Even if you could prove that those people aren’t here legally, Trump is changing the laws. He wants to end Birth Right citizenship.
He wants to end anchor babies and birth tourism.
Just for brown people.
For anyone who does it. You think birth tourism is only done by brown people??
I think Trump has a long history of racism and it will either bake it into law that Europeans get preferred treatment or it will be selectively enforced.
Btw, why are you using two questions marks? Do you think doing it makes you look more expressive?
Trump does not have a long history of racism. Nowhere in his past has he ever been called racist until he started running against the establishment.
Not sure why you think Europeans will be the only ones allowed to immigrate to America… There are people from all over the world who come here legally. That’s not changing. It’s just the mass that’s the problem. Let them come from all over in healthy numbers.
I really don’t care what you think about the way I type how I express myself when I do so. You can read why I write more than well enough. :)
The shit he signed into law says NOTHING about birther tourism or any other kind of tourism. Just delete the fourteenth amendment. Cause fuck the constitution right. Is that what you support.
No, I don’t support deleting the constitution.
It doesn’t have to say it, that’s just what it’s for.
Fucking lol
