    “Get the illegals out” is and always was a dog whistle for “get the brown people out”

      They’re Nazis. They have a very narrow, and ever narrowing, template for which people deserve to live. Everything except this is beside the point for them, and their words are just there to distract while they ready the machinery of mass extermination. It’s clear now that this is the direction they will continue to move in unless they are forcibly stopped.

      Don’t forget the fundamental hypocrisy of Trump telling Greenland that ships 500 years ago don’t mean they own the land. That is directly related as well, even if it is technically a separate issue.

    Can you imagine how stupid and ignorant you have to be to think that a Native American is somehow not a citizen of the land that they have lived in and on for a thousand years or more? Whereas most of these dipshits people haven’t been here for more than two hundred years or so. Of course some of them could be degenerate mayflowers.

      I’ve seen a bunch of white people say that whites are Native American, like you have to be forcefully stupid to believe some of the shit they spin.

        I’ve never seen that. In my experience the worst racism comes from those who have some non white heritage. I have seen whites ashamed they had some Native American blood. Like most of my family from two generations back were very ashamed of it. Of course it used to carry a stigma back in the early twentieth century. Its was the family rumor that a couple of my great uncles I never met were responsible for the local county courthouse burning down. All to erase the past by burning all the birth records. You can’t look at any of the surviving pictures of my great grandfather on my mothers side without seeing he had a huge amount of native american blood. On my fathers side my grandfather had a year round tan and jet black hair until it fell out that everyone commented on like it was amazing.

        I am however extremely Irish in complexion if not all of my facial features. Proof against one my mothers many bigoted remarks. ‘You can’t mix it white again’. I’m proof that you can.

        There is no plan other than to hope they get their bonus for capturing “illegals” before it is discovered that they are in fact, Americans.

        There’s no surplus of smarts in evidence with these morons.

          The plan is to start a war so elections can be disputed or suspended, the prison industrial complex investors get rich and people are too desperate trying to restore order, they forget about environmental, health and labor regulations.

    mfw the US government can perform secret assassinations and kidnapping on foreign soil with high precision, but can’t for the love of god distinguish between Latin Americans and Native Americans.

    Y’all only got universal citizenship in 1924, so you better believe it’s negotiable.

    This situation is really upsetting tribal leaders in Minnesota are saying ICE has been stopping and detaining Native Americans who are already U.S. citizens, and they’re calling it racial profiling and a violation of treaty rights. Indigenous officials are pointing out that tribal members have been citizens far longer than the United States has even existed, and they don’t fall under immigration enforcement jurisdiction. They’ve made it clear that their citizenship isn’t negotiable and are demanding answers and the release of anyone wrongly held. Many lawmakers and advocates are calling this a civil-rights issue, and it’s sparked serious outrage in the community
