Wtf are ads? I haven’t seen one in years. I was at the doc last year and she recommended something and was really confused because I never heard of it. She kept trying to tell me that I’m familiar with it, and I told her that I have t had tv since 2012.

I can feel the efficiency.
Apparently irregular means undocumented?
I genuinely don't understand the obsession with immigrants, why has it reached a new fever pitch? Who is benefiting from all of the isolationism and hate?
Targeting immigrants is a way for racists to engage in racism without being labeled racists
The rich and powerful can loot all they want from the country and blame immigrants for it. That's been the American MO since day 1. First it was Irish, then the Italians, then the Poles, now the Hispanics.
A wiser man than i would be able to see that all those groups are predominantly Catholic, but I'm sure that is just a coincidence.
They are an easy target since people don't come in contact with them to often. And if there's a "separate" community in your country, that community is a great target for all the blame arising from current problems in society (poverty etc.).
Yes, the powerful are looking for a scapegoat and found it in immigrants and trans people

EDIT: Okay downvoters, what do you call this, then?
I didn’t downvote you and Im not going to argue that the USA isn’t attempting fascism right now, but this is just racism and that isn’t unique to fascism.
The government launching a propaganda campaign to keep undesirables out of the country sounds pretty fascist to me.
The fact that the government is doing it makes it more than garden variety racism.
Then you have an incredibly flawed understanding of fascism. Anti-immigration propaganda has existed for centuries before fascism was conceived.
I did downvote them for complaining about THREE downvotes, like get over it, it happens
And they've spent more than that on these shitty ads, I've seen them several times on my local channels.
