The exact chilling effect that they want. Next they'll do it to trans people.
They are deliberately trying to force Charlie Kirk’s assassination to be a trans related thing. The current narrative is that the “roommate” who wasn’t his roommate and isn’t trans, was his trans lover and thus he was angry about anti-trans rhetoric.
They’re going to find some excuse.
The senate also used it as a distraction to vote down investigating or releasing anything Epstein related.
Ok. I'm not from the US and thought this was obvious. Is anyone in favor of undocumented or illegal immigrants? I thought the actual problem was deportations with no trials. It seems obvious no one should support illegal immigration. I think instead you should support allowing more people to inmigrate
The problem is that system changes arbitrarily from one administration to the next, and people who thought they were protected suddenly find themselves unprotected, and then some clown comes along, and just starts throwing out people who thought they were safe for YEARS.
Even Ronald Reagan was able to come up with a fairly reasonable program to deal with the issue at the time, but the current MAGA Nazis literally take pleasure in oppressing people, and undocumented people are easy, low hanging fruit.

I'll take the bait.
No, illegal not so much - but the system is fucking broken and it leaves a lot of situations ambiguous. Also the current regime is racial profiling so it doesn't even matter if you're a citizen.
I can simultaneously support a better immigration process and system - and also say that illegality is illegality - BUT ALSO say that people should be treated like people and given the circumstances be afforded certain rights and procedures that are civil.
But we're getting none of that and we need billionaires and corporations and current leadership to fear us.
There is no bait. 100% agree
Spot on
It ia more nuanced than that. What makes immigration "illegal" is incredibly arbitrary and inconsistent as a matter of both practice AND law in the USA. Moreover, there are many who believe, as I do, that people have a right to try making a home wherever they are. Where immigration is a problem, it isn't an immigration problem but rather a collapse of existing broken aspects of the society--the immigration pressure just brings these failings to light.

Yes actually, i dont really give a crap who comes to our country as long as they aren't violent (which is a moot point since most violent crime is perpetrated by citizens of said country). In the U.S. it's extra ironic we dont want immigrants since we literally showed up here as immigrants and took the land from the Native Americans. We are all descendents of immigrants in this country.
Now, obviously, I cant get what I want, so I'd settle for reasonable immigration laws. But last time I checked getting citizenship in the U.S. can take as long as 20 years. In this administration, im sure its even harder to get citizenship if you aren't a rich white racist fuckhead.
I'm in favor of fuck all borders.
This is such a Lemmy take. Even a child can comprehend why borders are a necessity. The world is an unequal place that's filled with scarcity and malice. In order to protect your society's social coherency, economic prosperity, and values, you have to enforce borders
A lot of people in Lemmy want everything to burn down. They seem to think that bringing everything down to their level means victory.

The EU did stop to enforce internal borders. It lower inequality within the EU and made the rich members better off, by providign cheaper workers. There is a reason Brexit causes so many problems for the UK.
That is not to say that opening all borders overnight would not cause problems. It clearly would, but in the end the world would be a better place.

Apparently that "innocent until proven guilty" was also a lie.
I need to stop reading. The fascists can't allow rights that they can't even read. The Constitution should have been written below a 6th grade level...
I had someone tell me "well. Innocent until proven guilty only applies for citizens. So proving that is on you"
I had someone say that too. That person is a former cop. But the 14th amendment very intentionally says "person", not "citizen".

The white power dickheads in power will be determined to make sure only those who can have citizenship are either white and Christian, or have enormous amounts of money.
