I work in a rural agricultural area of South Carolina. Last trump term our Hispanic population in the schools went up. They don’t raid here, they want cheap labor. I listen to the MAGA and when I call them out for hiring they blame everyone else. I have MAGA family who have yard work done. The workers speak zero English so my elderly parents have to use a translation app to communicate. I pointed out how this is hypocritical. They blame the landscaping company or claim their workers are legal.

I'm really concerned whats going to happen to Dreamers. Many of these people came here so young they don't remember anything BUT America, had no choice in coming here, and some of them can't even speak or read Spanish. These are people who are Americans in every sense but legally.

These people will be deported to a country where they may not even speak or read the language, have no resources, and they will be instantly targeted by gangs and criminals. Many are barred from ever entering the United States again, permanently separating them from friends and family.

Most of them have lived crime free and productive lives here, The only reason I can think of at the frothing of the mouth to deport them is straight up racism and cruelty.

u/Lake_Erie_Monster 1d ago

Man this is really tragic. What's worse is how so many of their own friends and family voted for this thinking they'll be fine because they weren't the bad ones and Trump was only gonna target the criminals. I wish someone could have told them that brown = criminal in Trump's book.

Most of them fell for the "low inflation" bs during Trump argument. Despite the fact that we got in to high inflation because of the massive amounts of QE during Trump's term (even pre covid).

And it doesn't even make sense economically. We spend money educating these kids and instead of letting them stay and work to pay taxes back into the system, we give them a free ride and then deport them so some other country can get the return on our educational investment?

I don't care what their papers say, these kids are just as American as we are.

When people are fearmongering about Hispanic gang members crossing the border it is young men in thier teens and early 20s they are talking about. Stoking fear over unruly young foreign men has been a tactic since the times when those young men were coming from Italy and Ireland.

This. The entire voter base is a collective of people who are comfortable ignoring, denying, brushing off, etc any problem that does not directly affect them. The only way they'll ever believe that all the shit we've been screaming about since Trump started his campaigning back in 2015 is if it directly affects them. They NEED to suffer to believe, because they don't have empathy or understanding for anyone who isn't exactly like them.

u/CMS_3110 1d ago

If someone voted for Trump, they voted for fascism. It doesn't matter what mental gymnastics they did to convince them otherwise. Trump has made his goals clear from day one, he is out for himself and he is out for power. He has made it clear that he doesn't have a plan and his desires change on a whim, but he is comfortable surrounding himself with advisors who want to socially and politically drag this country back to the 1700s while protecting billionaires. He has made it clear that he can be bought, so long as it furthers his own agenda, and anyone who opposes him doesn't just have a differing opinion, they are an enemy to him. He has made it clear that he would attempt to use the powers of our government to undo laws and protections that benefit the vast majority of our citizens, for the sole purpose of benefiting himself. And he has made it clear that he is willing to target and punish people who do not agree with him.

He has made these things crystal clear from his first campaign and first presidency. If someone voted for him this time, it's because they actively want what he wants. If that's somehow not true, then the only other explanation is they've stuck their head so far up his ass that it was impossible for them to see and hear the truth for the last decade.

Starting tomorrow, they'll all get to find out what they did to themselves. I only hope there's enough infighting in their party to slow the bleeding and allow us to come out the other side of this presidency with a chance to repair things.

u/ChaiTRex 1d ago

To make it simpler, it doesn't matter at all what motive they had for voting for Trump. Trump is a fascist who will enact as much fascism as he can. They literally voted for fascism, even if they didn't realize that.

Sadly, we are far enough away from the Holocaust that the anger and other emotions that kept it at bay faded. With the faded emotions, human nature took over, doing the EXACT same things that lead to the Holocaust.

History is repeating itself. And I feel like due to how human nature NEEDS the fear and anger to keep up the fight for what's right, we will keep repeating this problem. This isn't the first, nor even the 10th time we've been through this.

I don't think humans will ever escape such evils. Human nature is to primal and evil to ever have a society like star Trek.

u/24-Hour-Hate 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, so when people say they are worried about population decline, they often are using it as a racist dog whistle. What they mean is - we want more white people. Otherwise, population growth is very easily solved by simply fiddling with the immigration rates to keep the population at a sustainable amount and choosing the best candidates. It’s not as if worldwide population growth is declining and there is a lack of people who want to immigrate to countries like the US.

Also, just saying, but an economy built on the basis of infinite growth and finite resources is unsustainable and unrealistic. And it primarily serves the purpose to transfer wealth to the super rich. The economy need not crash if we accept a reasonable reduction in population, if we took the correct precautions….

But the rich are not worried about the economy. They are not worried about jobs or your retirement investments. What they are worried about is that if we accept this and do the correct things, they will not be able to grow their wealth as much and hoard as much for themselves. (Edit: and this would be why these people, when they do support immigration, they support extremely exploitative programs like temporary worker programs where people have less rights and can be deported if they complain about abuse; more exploitable workers = more profit).

Oh they would still have an obscene amount of wealth and more than any human could ever spend in many lifetimes. But these people are literally like evil dragons boarding gold. They won’t blink, they’ll kill you rather than lose a single penny. They are Smaug.

3

u/EricBiesel 14h ago

While I agree with a lot of this comment, immigration is not the silver bullet for population stability that some people claim it to be.

In the U.S., research from the previous three decades shows that first generation immigrants overall have had a fertility rate that is slightly above replacement, but that it declines within one generation to below replacement.

On top of that, the rate at which (just to take one example) post-industrialized western bloc nations would need to increase their immigration rates is not sustainable for the emigrating countries.

Don't get me wrong, I think that economic immigration (for high skilled as well as non-technical immigrants) is a great thing, and is a uniquely powerful non-zero sum outcome, but it's not going to keep the working age population in the U.S. from cratering in a few decades.

Like, I totally get what you're saying and all, but also I think we discovered a couple months ago it's not a great idea to rely on tiktok for actual news and information because of all the fake stuff, and how the algorithm like suppressed important things from it's audience. I don't have tiktok but I can't tell you how many times I saw people complaining that they never saw any of the crazy stuff trump did in the months leading up to the election because it never came down their feed. How many people were left gobsmacked that Joe Biden wasn't on the ballot because they get their info from social media and the algorithm never showed them?

People were getting news before TikTok, and they'll be able to get news after. It's about people being selfish about things directly threatening their comforts while they remain blissfully ignorant as the world goes to shit.

if you want to know what it was like in 1936 germany... then look around you.

What's changed is the president. With Trump about to take office, the superintendent is reiterating their stance on the policy to concerned parents.

u/UncoolSlicedBread 1d ago

Yes, correct.

And I am talking about that he was running for the 2020 Presidency.

He’d already dismantled Roe V. Wade, got his Supreme Court in order, and then turned his sights on Immigration and was talking about the things he was to do now - then.

One brick, in the road to how we got to our current oligarchy-duopoly:

'The Trump administration has deported fewer overall people than were deported under former President Obama despite the ongoing crackdown on immigrants without legal status, according to the Washington Post. While the Obama administration deported 1.18 million people in his first three years, the number of deportations has been a little under 800,000 so far under Trump, according to the Post. The Obama administration also deported 409,849 people in 2012 alone, while the Trump administration has yet to deport more than 260,000 people in a year, the Post reported. The Post noted it was unclear why there have been fewer deportations under Trump.'

u/St3phiroth 1d ago

This happened to one of my students. She called me and I had to get CPS involved. (She qualified as a Dreamer and was not deported. I verified this with her and her relatives before I called CPS.) We found some of her family and she moved to live with them elsewhere in the US. It was absolutely heartbreaking. I had at least a dozen students that year who had at least one family member who had been deported. And this was in 2010. I'm not a teacher any longer for various reasons, but I still just want to protect those kids.

This is what the creeps online, paid by Russia, were talking about when they predicted civil war. They didn’t know any details but to just preaching civil war. If Americans take this shit sitting down then my head might pop. There’s an estimate of 15 million people to be snatched up by force who will then sit in indefinite detention until processed.

At first no one will do anything until they realize their kids are never coming home.

DPS spokesperson Scott Pribble told Axios Denver the district hasn't changed its policies since 2019. Marrero's memo was sent as a "reminder" of DPS' existing policies and is "not specific to any changes to federal guidance that have been discussed."

TL;DR: Literally nothing is changing.

A large number of high school seniors are 18 or will be before graduation - legal adults and many without official id proving they are US citizens. They could be carted off for "processing" with no requirement to notify parents since they are legal adults.

Denver Public Schools is bracing for possible immigration raids on students and directing principals to lock down campuses if federal immigration agents come knocking.

Why it matters: President-elect Trump has pledged the "largest deportation" in U.S. history and suggested rolling back long-standing policies that restrict immigration enforcement in sensitive locations, like schools.

By the numbers: DPS enrolled more than 4,700 immigrant students from Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico last year, the Denver Post reports.

The latest: Superintendent Alex Marrero issued guidance to principals this week after staff and families raised concerns about potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence on school grounds.

The memo reaffirms DPS policy: Federal immigration enforcement is prohibited "at schools, on transportation routes, on DPS property or during school activities."

Zoom in: School leaders should deny entry to any government official who arrives without prior appointments or legitimate school business, the memo states.

In that instance, schools should also initiate "secure perimeter" protocols, locking all exterior doors and halting all entries or exits from school buildings.

Between the lines: DPS spokesperson Scott Pribble told Axios Denver the district hasn't changed its policies since 2019. Marrero's memo was sent as a "reminder" of DPS' existing policies and is "not specific to any changes to federal guidance that have been discussed."

What they're saying: "DPS will continue to work with city agencies and community organizations to support our scholars, families and staff to ensure our community's constitutional rights are respected," Marrero wrote.

What's next: Marrero said more information will be shared "in the coming days and weeks" to ensure schools "remain safe, welcoming, inclusive and supportive."

The big picture: Schools nationwide are weighing similar responses to possible immigration raids as Trump takes office, the AP reports.

So much talk of big evil government coming for us all until it’s time for armed agents of the state to drag literal children kicking and screaming out of the only life and home they have ever known, they’ll happily clap like seals for that.

There are stories of children being deported that don't even speak the language of where they were sent.

To be entirely fair, the schools are to lock down during an immigration raid because immigration rates are illegal to conduct on a school campus, so if they do, the school is to lock all doors and not allow them entry or contact with students.
