yep, that’s atrocious; the whole good/bad immigrants thing, whereby some abstract white guys are gonna subjectively decide who’s deserving of staying, and who should be inhumanely detained, deported and labeled a felon, never to re-enter this country.

you’d have to be a cold-hearted bastard to read something like this and yet still support legislation that would make this kid a felon and force him out of the country. - i agree, you’d have to be one. but who’s to say that the government and its supporters aren’t such “cold-hearted bastartds”? it’s gonna be very fuckin’ hard to convince me otherwise.

i mean, we’re talking about the government that has killed and sacrificed hundreds, thousands and millions of its own people [of color, first and foremost] as collateral damage since its very inception until present day, for the sake of imperialist wars…. the government that until recently advocated legal slavery, segregation and colonization… (and i’m sure still covertly advocating that)… the government that doesn’t stop for a second to pressure poor countries into ‘free trade’ agreements in order to continue the legal pseudo-slavery of the starving third world countries, and to capitalize on their sweatshop labor? the government that ostensibly ‘liberates’ brown people from ‘oppression’ when it’s in its economic interests…? oh, gosh, i’d better stop right here…

but yeah - IT IS A GLOBAL ‘WAR ON PEOPLE OF COLOR’ - so well said! neo-colonialism is much scarier than the explicit colonialism and slavery, i’m becoming more and more convinced of that!
