This is exactly what I have discussed with people of Hispanic backgrounds, who are either here legally, or native to the USA that approve of deporting immigrants. Your skin color dictates your eligibility for deportation. Identification, due process, laws, all of that go out the window when you have a government that decides to engage in mass deportation. You are not safe now. You played yourself and your fellow people. You let a con man make you feel superior to other human beings.

Legal Eagle has recently made a few videos where he explains how due process and laws were thrown out the window. Previously, it was just a ridiculous PR dumpster fire, but now it’s also a legal dumpster fire.
Looks like USA is spiraling towards some sort of dictatorship/anarchy/chaos/idunno. Some queer people are also giving the advice to go back to the closet before it’s too late, which is something I was not expecting to hear.
I wonder if some Americans could seek political asylum in Germany. You know, historical symmetry and all that?
