This is the real point of all of this.

Trump and his fascist coattail-riders really couldn't care less about undocumented immigrants. The goal of all of this is simply to make one subset of the proletariat hate another subset of the proletariat, to foment suspicion and distrust, and to condition people to report each other to the authorities.

It doesn't really work when that chunk is removed. And they were already criminals to begin with. That's what illegal immigration is.

Physical presence in the United States without proper authorization is a civil violation, rather than a criminal offense

Illegal immigration makes somebody a criminal as much as a parking ticket does; it doesn't.

Like he said, it was never about illegal immigrants. Ask the indigenous people being taken away if they think it's illegal for them to live here. Nvm the dreamers.

They are going by the color chart for now and will let the legal system settle the (many) mistakes, for those who can afford it at least.

Indigenous? You know most Indians actually prefer the term Indian. You should really go out and meet some people you normally wouldn't.

That said, Indians? They're a perfect example of immigration gone wrong.

You know most Indians actually prefer the term indian. (Citation needed)

The US gov refers to them as Indians, the government bodies representing them use Indians, hell they even still use Indian because colonialism; it doesn't mean "that's what they prefer" and it doesn't mean using indigenous in this context is wrong. Because apparently you don't know, in Canada we use "first nations" or "indigenous people" colloquially..

They're a perfect example of immigration gone wrong.

... Funny you aren't in a hurry to implement drastic measures to compensate for that. Whatever it's an example of it still doesn't explain why "indians" should be dragged out of their homes for not having white skin.

When there's a confidently misinformed shit-take to be found, there's a good chance it's from someone on reddthat. You wouldn't be surprised how often it ends up being Kaboom, too.

Lol. Peggy would never call ICE.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

ICE comes into Peggy's class, "What are you doing?

ICE: "We're here to take in the children of illegal immigrants"

Peggy: "Eschua me, I am in the middle of class here"

ICE: "Ma'am, step aside"

Principal Moss: "Com'on Peggy, these men here have a job to do"

Peggy: "Well if you want to deport these kids, you'll have to take me with you"

Gets deported to Mexico because ICE dgaf

Peggy (on phone to Hank): "Hannnnkkk! I've been deported to Mexico!"

Hank: BWAGGGGHHH

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Definitely not, lol. Just saw "substitute teacher" and "Texas" and first thing that popped into mind.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago

Escucha me, that is 3 time substitute teacher of the year, Peggy Hill.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 4 months ago

If I may add, the person behind it is even awesome-r 😎

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 51 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The educator’s identity has not yet been revealed.

I believe it has, because he had all of his personal information on his social media accounts.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Whoa pardner, that sound an awful lot like Communism. English cain't never be foreign in 'Murica!

[–] WHARRGARBL@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“I teach with these f**king libt***s every day and that’s what I talk to no one at work except the kids,” the account tweeted.

Lol how’s that substitute only talking to the kids, if the kids don’t speak English?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 25 points 4 months ago

It doesn't sound like this teacher even speaks English.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 12 points 4 months ago

Does Luigi go to school there? Cuz that bitch needs stitches

[–] sinkingship@mander.xyz 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In this context ICE stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement".

For other like me that only know ICE as an abbreviation for "internal combustion engine".

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I know it as really cold water

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 11 points 4 months ago

I usually sympathize with teachers who want smaller class sizes, but damn…

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

And that's how Ms. Doe's car got set on fire. Allegedly.
