Imagine getting that call. We've definitely become evil.
It's not we that have become evil. I think it's imperative that people properly consider who is doing the evil shit.
Many years ago I was visiting some country in Central America, and they were not angry that I was American even though the American government had done horrible things to their country, because they knew that I had no control over what those crazy motherfuckers did.
And that doesn't mean that everyone is powerless, that we shouldn't try to make a difference. That's a different conversation.
My wife is Mexican-American. She was born here, and I fear that call. ICE is rounding up everyone that they “suspect” is undocumented. I’m afraid that she’ll get picked up and lost in the system before I can bring proof of citizenship.
What ICE is doing is evil. I can’t believe this is my country after only a few months, and I fear what will happen in a few years.
the proof doesn't matter when they're not bothering to check; ask kilmar obrego garcia.
i had family members that were born and raised in this country and deported during the last bought of xenophobia that this country went through during ww2; the most recent one ended up living out the rest of his life and dying in mexico.
