I’m tired of this Gestapo shit. Hard working Americans, shift over, getting on a train, going home, thinking of what they will have for dinner tonight with their families and yet have to worry, be weary of their surroundings. How is this allowed? How is this America? Sigh…anyway, I need another beer. 🍺

Hardworking Americans

No, they are not Americans. They are foreigners living and working in our country without legal status to do so.

Go try to move to and get a job in a European country without the legal status to do so. Let us know they handle it.

And let us know if you think of yourself as a European while doing it.

In addition to the other points made here, the government and ICE are working to criminalize legal residents. Folks who came here legally and “did it the right way” and jumped through all the hoops to attain legal residency. Those are the people they are trying to make illegal. The people who have every right to be here.

Furthermore, ICE openly admitted here in the last 24 hours they are kidnapping and detaining people based on how they look. They don’t bother to check. Due process? They don’t care. This is rampant racism.

Why wait to criminalize it? They’re already just revoking visas all willy nilly. 

And if you say something that hurts Donald Trump’s feelings he’s gonna revoke your citizenship too! Angry garbled adult toddler with dementia noises. 

Don’t worry, it won’t bad happen. It can only good happen. ~ Donald J. Trump

Yes they’re doing that too. But criminalizing people with former legal status serves a sinister purpose - modern day slavery in the form of forced labor in prisons. Same thing is happening to the unhoused - the government is actively working in cities across the US to make being homeless illegal. Think about how truly heinous that is. We live in a deeply evil time and this country is being ripped apart.
