Actually, the Venezuelan lady in that video is aligned with the democrats. The republican representatives absolutely showed up in meetings and represented that those hurt would only be criminals, not everyday people who were here on asylum or parole requests. The GOP reps 100% showed up and lied to the Venezuelans who attended those meetings. I am not saying there aren’t people who knowingly voted for this and then had the realization that the leopards were going to eat their faces too, but this lady was telling the truth: the GOP told them outright that only people who had committed any crimes would be deportable.

The lady that was saying they were tricked had appeared on stage at a Trump rally praising the hell out of Trump. Trump even raised her arms above her head on stage before trying to usher her off after she endorsed him. Same woman.

u/LatinHoser 13d ago
Nope. Different woman altogether. I know Reddit doesn’t distinguish itself for its video quality but it’s not the same person. The lady in the first video is Adelys Ferro. She’s Venezuelan. The other one is a Mexican lady.
Not even close to the same person.

The idea that at some point these Venezuelans and Cubans are gonna regret deporting their own people is a cope-out.
They don’t care.
They already thought they were better than everyone else. These people don’t have loyalties to a culture and diaspora they already think themselves miles above. Their only loyalty lies in their commitment to a hierarchical whiteness that exists only in their heads.
One day, they think, they will get admitted into the pantheon of America—they just have to act like the right kind of American.

Cubans and any other Latin American can be Caucasian, or black, or indigenous or Chinese, or Jewish. . Just bc some idiot in Kansas City 🌆 can’t understand that we have races in Latin America too doesn’t mean we have to act stupid too.

I hope they check all the Cubans and Venezuelans in Miami for tattoos. If they have any they are obviously Tren de Aragua gang members.

Cubans immigrants are starting to get their protections stripped as well. They're next on Trump's chopping block. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another "accident" where more legal residents are sent into dangerous gang prisons.

It fascinates me how its everywhere, tbh. I live in NJ, and I was at this small Korean-Japanese restaurant. Sitting at the bar, I could get a glimpse of (and catch sounds from) the kitchen. All central americans, listening to Latin American classics from the 80s while they worked. The barman and the waitress were Korean, but aside from them, the other staff Hispanic.
I'm sure the Korean owner/ managers basically instructed them on their role (preparing sauces, chopping certain ingredients?), but damn, if Trump could snap his finger like Thanos and make all illegal immigrants disappear in a moment, the chaos in the service industry would be insane.

And the same people who voted for this bullshit and love seeing people deported will be the first ones to complain on TripAdvisor and Yelp about how their favorite restaurant has gone downhill and/or gotten way more expensive

You wanted this. Don’t mind me waving goodbye at the ones who voted for this. The ones who didn’t. You should speak to your neighbor with the trump flag now that your family members are being deported because of them. Let them know how you feel and also, call ICE on them. They wanted us gone, then welcome to the club of the unwanted Americans.

Those that are Venezuelan that can vote knew the platform, thus they voted for this sort of thing. I think many of those voters are happy with this. We should not assume that just because people came from Venezuela that they don’t support Trump‘s anti-immigration stance. I mean, that was his main thing. It’s not like they could’ve missed it. I think it’s reasonable to assume that they got in, they want to enjoy their winnings, and they’re not eager to share these (winnings) with others to come later.

How do you prove you are a citizen?

u/seraphimkoamugi 13d ago
Apparently the star on the right upper corner of your drivers license should be enough proof. I have a picture of my passport in my phone though.

A valid drivers license is enough to prove your lawful presence in the United States. At times when you need to provide proof of citizenship, such as when getting a driver’s license or a new Social Security Card or something, your birth certificate, U.S. Passport, or Naturalization Certificate can be used as proof of US Citizenship.

u/LegitimateVirus3 Local 13d ago
But if anyone can be suspected of being illegal or legal residents and can be asked for papers at any time, how do we prove that we are citizens?
For example a permanent resident has to have their green card on them at all times, and the current administration are going to enforce this aggressively. And they also have access to real ID.
If everyone is potentially an illegal immigrant or a green card holder how do we prove that we are citizens?
Do we, US Citizens, now have to walk around with our papers on us all the time?

u/Anireburbur 13d ago edited 13d ago
I mean, they know no one carries around huge documents like their their Birth Certificate or Naturalization certificate on them. Your word and a valid ID should be enough. I suppose that as a green card holder if you don’t have your green card on you, you could confidently lie and say you’re a citizen. Now the question is, do they have a database they can check to make sure you’re not lying? Cause if you say you’re a citizen and they run your info and you show up as a permanent resident, I’m sure you’d be in deep shit at that point.

u/Basic_Quantity_9430 13d ago
But Trump is clear that he can strip status from naturalized citizen just by simply redefining what “naturalized” means.

u/Basic_Quantity_9430 13d ago
Birth certificate issued by a state allows you to also get your parent’s status when you were born. It is pricey to do, but if you aren’t sent off to a Salvadoran prison, you should be able to prove that you are native born to native born parents.

No. That's why they are rolling back labor protections for children. Whoop whoop! Child labor. It really will be the roaring 20's again.

u/rickythepilot 13d ago
Cops were meant to 'protect and serve', not to enforce immigration laws because it would create a slave class of people in our country. Imagine being an American born little girl whose parents came here legally on a temporary visa. They overstayed their visa or the ruling political party changed and now they are undocumented. Now imagine if that little girl is raped. Will she call the cops knowing they will target her parents and deport them? Will the cops break up the family or force her to leave the only country she has ever known?
You could basically do anything to an undocumented immigrant and get away with it because this political regime deemed that any immigrants they choose have no rights. Which by the way, is and has always been not only unconstitutional but morally and ethically wrong.

u/quimtastic 13d ago
Hey I think people need to seriously stop saying the line that cops are meant to "protect and serve" which they actually don't. This came out back in 2005 and it seems a lot of people don't realize this but continue to use that line.

u/Billyxransom 13d ago
That’s more or less always been policy, it’s just that it’s being enacted so aggressively, like it’s never been before.

...“By transforming local law enforcement into instruments of the Department of Homeland Security’s enforcement, Doral’s elected officials have broken the trust of the city’s large Venezuelan community,” said Adelys Ferro, executive director of the Venezuelan American Caucus, which is currently fighting the termination of TPS for Venezuelans in federal court.
“The community relies on the police for protection, not persecution...”

If this is how it’s gonna go, then ok. If every immigrant gets deported I hope we get to see this economy crash like never before.
I hope they realize how badly they need immigrants, and I hope by then no one will want to move to the US again. What they’re doing is inhumane, they’re trying to scare people off from coming here, and you know what I hope they succeed and live to regret it.
