I think there’s a better faith explanation. Mainstream media has not been covering ICE raids to the the level it should, meaning there’s a lot of honest, good people who just haven’t caught wind of it. With this happening, it’s finally catching enough attention that new people are becoming aware. I don’t deny that race and xenophobia play a part, but I don’t think that’s 100% of it
They are writing that directly in response to the post which is complaining only about ICE killing a white woman, so they are making the same point im making here and calling out that all people matter, not just white women. For several months we had no posts like this and suddenly everyone is mad at ICE.
Most illegals immigrants are not from Africa. Most black people in America were born here. The group with the most people who are here illegally is those from Latin America and of them it is a minority of them. If you are a born citizen you have no reason to fear being detained by ice lmao
I can be downvoted all you guys want but that doesn’t stop the fact that I’ve gone off this site to make real changes. Hold everyone accountable and expect better of politicians and media. Have discussions in class and educate those who don’t know. Let everyone know what the United States is doing.
i am related to legal citizens who’ve been attacked by ice agents bc they don’t have “american” names, look up emmanuel sackie for a recent example. there are lawyers sharing that they are representing natural born u.s. citizens who’ve been illegally detained in detention centers.
I have? I never said I made posts on HERE. I’ve commented on a bunch, I’ve made some anon posts on my school Yikyak and I’ve made multiple posts on the very few social media I have. Again you cannot assume anything about me from just a Yikyak. And before you ask “why didn’t you post on your account” because I think the message is better coming from another person. You don’t need to know me on Yikyak to know that I stand against this evil.
so in your own follow up comments you admit hispanics are not "the only minorities". just because there's a lower chance of being detained if you're not hispanic doesn't mean there's zero chance. not to mention other brown racial/ethnic groups, such as the indian woman in my class who was held up for 2 hours after our evening class while ice detained and "investigated" her. she was not a suspect - they just thought she was latino
For every “black person” (Africans do not identify with black Americans) or any other ethnic group detained by ice there are 10 or more Hispanics lmao. If you want to argue the semantics of my hyperbolic language go ahead. The truth remains the ice issue is mostly a issue for illegal Latin Americans
I think it does and it’s incredibly sad, but either way these are illegal immigrants, and if not, then not complying with law or questioning leading to physical action having to be taken. These things are never fully white or black because there are always more angles than one for people to side with.
No im referring to the fact that our immigration policy has been breaking international asylum law for decades and the denial of due process to people ICE has gone after. As well as the abysmal conditions DHS is keeping people, including children and sick people, in. But yes those are other times we broke international law.
and answer what?! you keep asking "which should they worry about more" as if the existence of car crashes means they shouldn't fear ice.... what a stupid question. say something of substance for once in this conversation. i fear i'm talking to an 18 year old who fancies themselves a debater
why are you replying atp? what exactly is your goal? so far all you've done is point to car crashes as if they nullify the risk of ice agents detaining non-immigrants, and several people have pointed out how moronic it is and you stopped talking about it. you've conceded the point and now you're just attention seeking
i said "all you've done is point to car crashes *as if* they nullify the risk" i never said you said that word for word. you kept asking which is more common which is irrelevant. the existence of cancers more common than lung cancer don't mean people shouldn't worry about lung cancer. the existence of car crashes doesn't mean people shouldn't worry about ice agents. it's really very simple to comprehend. your point is moot and lacks any substance
Most people aren’t preoccupied daily worrying about dying in a car crash every time they are in a car. Same applies to the ice thing you shouldn’t be preoccupied with the potential of being detained especially as most people will never even see an agent with their own eyes. Is that really hard to understand?
you moved the goalpost all the way from "only hispanics need to be worried" to "people don't worry about car crashes all the time so don't worry about ice" as if a car accident and an intentional detainment by state agents are somehow in the same category of fears... not to mention the fact that ppl do worry about crashing when they drive. "defensive driving" is a constant preoccupation with avoiding crashing with bad drivers. you're being ridiculous and you probably shouldn't be driving either
