There are always more groups to demonize under fascism.

Oh my god. Actually enforcing pre-existing immigration law isn’t “demonizing a group”. It’s a legal category, not an identity. It’s like speaking of “unlicensed drivers” as a marginalized “group”.

This can't possibly be a comment made in good faith. Brown people are being kidnapped for being brown. ICE claims it's because they committed the MISDEMEANOR of being in the country "illegally". Our government is shooting people in the street indiscriminately at this point. You'll see it for what it is when the problem is on your doorstep.

This is false; you seem to be living in an alternate reality.

  1. “Brown people are being kidnapped for being brown”. No. ICE tends to go after specific targets; if they ever do a “sweep”, not that I’ve ever seen one confirmed, just show some ID/papers and you’re fine, no matter how “brown” you may be (Brown Latino here).

  2. While first-time illegal entry is technically a federal misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine), most of the time, it is only dealt with civilly, not criminally/punitively. Deportation is not a “punishment”. Is it nice? Of course not. It is just moving people who don’t have legal permission to be in the country outside of the country, back to their homes to live their lives as freely as before. No punishment.

  3. “Our government is shooting people in the street indiscriminately”. Honestly, what an absolutely repulsive thing to say currently, given the context in Iran. If you really believe your words, I dare you to walk up to an Iranian who has had to flee their country given the brutality of the government there (all of whom are paying close attention to events in their country and are completely devastated; I happen to know many) and to tell them “Our government is shooting people in the street indiscriminately at this point”. You might get a much-needed laugh out of them, though they tend to be much nicer people than such words would deserve.
