This is actually a really good one. Did you make it?

“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally.

Gotchu.

Brian Todd, a spokesperson of CoreCivic, the private prison company that operates Stewart, disputed those accounts of conditions inside the facility.

God, the United States were a mistake.

Any person with an immigrant background should have had their alarm bells going off big time when MAGA used the words "illegal immigrants" as if they were glued together.

Sheesh. But you know what, my parents are the same. Came to their new home country 5 decades ago, now they're complaining about "The Immigration Problem" (one with an air of intellectualism, the other like a true MAGA).

And don't get me started on private prisons and their PR people. We have footage going back years. It's not even a new thing, how bad the conditions are.

A for-profit model is perhaps the only thing that could make prisons worse. Maybe not the only one, but it ranks pretty high among the things that could

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago

It already is, it already does.

And yes: prisoners are effectively paying customers. A good business owner wants to retain them for as long as possible, and make sure they come back.

Sadly, from what I understand in the US at least, anti-immigrant sentiment is often common among immigrants themselves after some time has passed. To be clear - I'm sure there's a lot of nuance that I'm not privy to, please don't read that as some strict assertion.

But for instance, from what I understand about the Cuban diaspora in Florida, they are often viciously anti-immigrant.

Just us humans being humans unfortunately, we got a lotta work to do on ourselves, collectively.

Truly, how could anyone have known that the pathological liar that lies dozen of times in every speech he has ever made, would lie about that?

God, the United States were a mistake.

I mean... it was the product of immigration...

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago

True, immigration IS the problem.

Time to send all non-native Americans from before 1700 back!

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 4 points 5 days ago

Of invasion, colonization, genocide and slavery.

Like hell they will. They and the bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe lazy imbeciles will destroy themselves and the rest of us before they even reject the possibility of bending towards reality a little, and learning something truthful.

Leopards ate their face! Right after saying they would, too!

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Unfortunately, leopards ate the face of their son.

I'm so confused who are the green card holders and who voted because green card holders can't vote.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 5 days ago

I thought the same thing. I guess the son, the one who is detained is the green card holder. I guess they got their citizenship without him? Did he break the terms of his green card?

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I want to feel sorry for them, because they are victims of fraud. But the fraudsters took advantage of their ignorance and bigotry (i.e the "I didn't know!" and "I thought they'd go after the OTHER guys!" mentality) so I can't.

I feel sorry for their son. Both detained and dumb fuck parents.

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Good. Fuck 'em!

He's not targeting us, but only the "bad" imigrants. Reminds me of these guys.
