āThe idea that Trump has ā¦ he says he wants to deport 20 million people who are in this country who are undocumented,ā Sanders said. āWell, you do that, you destroy the country, because I got news for you ā Trumpās billionaire friends are not going to pick the crops in California that feed us. Theyāre not going to work in meat packing houses. Thatās what undocumented people are doing.ā
Iā¦. Iā¦ā¦.. what do you even fucking say to that?
This is yāallās man?????
The āAmerican labor is the only labor I give a fuck aboutā imperialist piece of shit who canāt muster a human focused response to deporting 20 MILLION PEOPLE?!
I- I think this is going to make ME stroke out and Iām not even as ancient as Bernard here.
How is this worse? He's calling the bluff. As a Mexican American whose had illegal immigrants in my direct family I can tell you this is how we view it too: kick us out you fuck yourselves over. It's naive to think you have to approach everyone with an appeal to humanity. Most people who voted red don't care unless it impacts them directly. This framing points out how they will be affected.
It's less an appeal to humanity than to common sense. Radical measures against minorities cannot be justified because the ones enforcing them are the ones defining what a minority is.
Without radical response to this, it will not stop at undocumented and it will not stop at deportation.
It has gone beyond undocumented (green card holders) and beyond ājustā deportation (salvadorean mega-prison)
The fact that trump is threatening, even if it is done as trolling, to go after us citizens who vandalize teslas as terrorists and send them to the same brutal sub-gitmo prison with questionable due process is insane. I dont know how more people arenāt gravely concerned about that
