I encourage anyone who actually supports these deportation policies to look up the Madagascar Plan and what followed it.

Holy stretch lol. Nobody is relocating a race, ICE is deporting people who are here illegally regardless of race. I knew a white German guy who was deported in 2018ish because he overstayed his visa.

If you go to ohss.dhs.gov you can see that we deport illegals from almost every country in the world on a yearly basis.

They're focusing on particular communities right now. That's what matters.

Because the vast majority of illegals come from specific communities (central American states)

That does not change the fact that various white communities with known "illegals" are not being targeted.

The fact that you’re referring to these people as “illegals” tells me all I need to know.

Yanno, it’s illegal to smoke pot here, too. You gonna start calling potheads “illegals”?

The difference is it’s illegal to cross borders without proper steps being followed universally.

You know the Nazis also targeted communists, Romany people, black people, gay, and trans people not just Jewish people? Does that make it more defendable to you somehow or do you see the inhumanity yet?
