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?

 
I read about 2 of the Gitmo detainees who were selected for imprisonment there because they had tattoos, with no other evidence. The sister of one of the men says her brother’s tattoo is for his favorite team in Venezuela. She says he’s never been in trouble with the law either here or in Venezuela and that he came here and immediately made an appointment for his asylum request. In other words, he did everything by the book. And the only reason she knows he is in Gitmo is that he was in a photo that Noem posted of the “criminals” being held there. He hasn’t been allowed to communicate with anyone.
 
The Trump administration’s decision to end temporary humanitarian protections for Venezuelans who came to the United States seeking refuge in recent years has plunged hundreds of thousands of people into uncertainty.

Many worry they could be deported back to the autocratic regime they tried to flee.

“We lived in fear and we are still afraid,” said Jesús, who fled Venezuela with his wife and children, crossing through Colombia, the Darién jungle in Panama and then Mexico, before arriving in Texas in 2021.

His wife had worked as a civil servant in Venezuela, and had grown increasingly alarmed by the government’s crackdown on free speech and resisted participating in pro-government demonstrations. That’s when the couple began receiving threats. “They even chased us into our home,” Jesús said.

In 2023, his family secured temporary protected status (TPS) – allowing them to legally live and work in the US – and assumed they would be safe for a while.

But earlier this month, the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, abruptly decided to end TPS for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans in the US, including Jesús.

Within 60 days, the administration plans to strip away the designation, saying that the situation in Venezuelahas “notably improved”.

“You can imagine – this came as a shock,” Jesús said. “We suffered a political persecution in our country and now we are doing it here as well.”…..

Could've stayed in Panama.
 
SCOTUS blog writeup on birthright citizenship.

 
And that's 80% the same as the Holocaust?
In case you forgot. We have laws. There are legal ports of entry. immigrants need to use it and we'll all be fine. Comparing this to the holocaust is laughable and iresponsible. If you enter the country illegally, its a crime. End of story. You don't like it, petition to have the laws changed.

It is a civil matter. Musk entered the country or stayed in the country illegally. Now he is running the government while the orange idiot goes to the Super Bowl and Daytona.

They have already put at least one person in Gitmo who did come here to claim asylum in the way it is allowed for him to do so. He is Venezuelan. He hasn’t been allowed to contact his family or legal representation. His sister recognized him because Noem put up a picture of the “criminals” incarcerated there. He was never in any legal trouble either here or in Venezuela. This is what you are saying is okay.

It’s not okay. He did nothing wrong except being Venezuelan. This is far closer to Nazi Germany than you want to admit. And someone who supports Trump saying “we have laws” is just so very ironic. Your keyboard probably should have burst into flames as you typed that.

Melania Trump and Elon Musk both broke immigration laws. The Venezuelan broke zero immigration laws, he already had his appointment with immigration court which he made as soon as he got here.

Believing what this Administration says they are doing is the absolute worst sort of naivety. It’s so gullible - just irresponsible really to believe them.
