Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has reignited fears among undocumented migrants with promises of “mass deportations” and migrant communities are bracing for uncertainty and a new wave of nativism.

His administration plans to target those deemed public safety or national security threats, potentially reinstating workplace raids and using military resources.

Advocates warn that “collateral arrests” could sweep up migrants without criminal records.

Many, like “Dreamers” protected under DACA, fear family separations, while others, such as Carlos in NYC, hope Trump’s economic policies might benefit them.

“A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy. That would be very good for us too,” said Carlos, an undocumented Mexican who lives in New York City.

      That would be right in line with their normal behavior. Seeing how many children they kidnapped in the previous Trump administration.

    They will be only for criminals… And to draft he’ll classify anyone with skin darker than a certain tone as an “illegal” committing cringe by living in this country, then they’ll go on to trans people, then gay people, then “anteefahs!” And so on… there’s a whole poem about it and everything.

    The article left me confused.

    How does one pay income tax and file taxes while undocumented? Wouldn’t you need a social security number, and hence be documented?

    Could I create an imaginary person to file taxes for?

    Seeing a lot of voting blocks which apparently were clueless as to what they were voting for. The leopards won’t care.

    Like the German version of Nazis before them, they aren’t coming for their biggest target first. They’re coming for their political opposition, the “abortionists”, the atheists, the drug users, the mentally ill…

    RFK Jr.:

    “I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it— to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities,”

    Re-education camps, huh.

      Nazism 2: The Brainworm Boogaloo

      Genuinely going to be interesting to see how these fuckwads manage anything, not just this fascism bullshit. Like honestly, at least most of the higher ranked Nazi officials were pretty intelligent (albeit evil.)

    I get that TikTok, YT Shorts, and Facenook slowly removes attention span, but how the fuck does it cause Amnesia for everything that happened before 2020?

    Trump literally removed holding time limitations and changed the Criminal Only ICE focus of previous administrations so they could put women and children in cages deport children alone to random South American nations citing some ancient treaties.

    This already fucking happened. All of it.

    I’m honestly terrified as a naturalized citizen that he’s going to either try to revoke my citizenship or ignore it altogether :/

    Stephen “nazi” Miller wants to create an army from Trump loyal national guard members and go into “blue” states to enforce deportation.

    I doubt they’ll check if you’re a criminal or not.

    As a non retarded Latino, Hispanic, brown latinX, whatever they wanna call us Tuesdays…wtf? Like I know I got super seer powers, dah but I didn’t know half the population had the same power! So you guys too can tell when someone’s a criminal? Dang! I had been living a crime fighting life for nothing? I called myself Zotman…a mix between Zorro and Batman since I like to punch but I can’t do sword fighting or any stunts at all nor do I have fancy cars. And my costume is pretty thin so I can carry it around easily in my pocket. And I can zing the zong, can’t you?

    Zotman! Zada dada zada dada!

    Zotman! Zada dada zada dada!

    Zotman!

    Zotman!

    Zotman!

    Zada dada dada dada dada daaaa!

    Zotman!
