Will “mass deportation” actually happen (6 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

The Trump administration has revoked visas from 147 students studying at 48 colleges across the country as the president continues his crackdown on immigration.

As President Donald Trump and his administration carry out mass deportations across the U.S. and investigate schools for engaging in diversity, equity and inclusion practices, nearly 150 students have seen their visas revoked, particularly at regional public universities and small private colleges, according to Inside Higher Ed.……

Just reading about some of that today. Some of this is also happening in Michigan and directed towards pro-Palestine student protestors
“These are not isolated cases,” Khaled Alrabe, staff attorney at the National Immigration Project, said in a statement. “We are witnessing a disturbing trend where international students across the nation are losing their status abruptly and without legal justification. ICE is unlawfully using student status terminations to coerce students to give up their studies and leave the country without any meaningful process or opportunity to challenge what’s happening."

The group noted that there are two factors at play: the visas, which are issued by the State Department, and their student status, which is monitored by the Department of Homeland Security.

"While their visas were apparently revoked as part of a new policy of the administration, the lawsuits explain that visas are distinct from status and that visa revocation alone does not constitute grounds for ending student status under the law," the group said.

Yeah, no - this doesn’t sound evil at all

This should have been a bigger scandal. It should still be a national scandal.

Our country has absolutely jumped the shark on immigration.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that it will begin monitoring immigrants’ social media accounts for antisemitism, prompting some advocacy groups to push back and condemn the news as an “excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda”.

In a statement on Wednesday, USCIS said that it will start “considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests”.

The new guidelines will apply to individuals applying for permanent resident status, international students and aliens affiliated with “educational institutions linked to antisemitic activity”.

“There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here,” said Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs.


“Secretary [Kristi] Noem has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-Semitic violence and terrorism – think again. You are not welcome here,” McLaughlin added.

The latest announcement – which comes amid the Donald Trump administration’s growing crackdown on protesters demonstrating against Israel’s deadly war on Gaza – has prompted criticism from several advocacy organizations and progressive Jewish groups viewing the news as part of a campaign to repress legitimate speech under the guise of fighting hate.…….

Oh great, so now antisemitic posts will finally get you denied a visa — cool. Now, just waiting on the part where anti-Muslim, anti-Latino, anti-LGBTQ+, and misogynistic rants get the same treatment. Or is bigotry only a problem when it’s directed at one group? If they really cared about democracy and human rights, they’d be cracking down across the board. But hey, consistency has never been this government’s strong suit.

Not the government, but rather, people. The government can be objective and fair if you have objective and fair people running it.
