They're not blurring the line, they're treating any immigrant like they're not here legally. They're erasing the line

And have been for a while now.

Not any immigrants, just the ones with darker skin.

Literally simping for the African immigrant Elon Musk.

Harder than for Melania!

"immigrant" is just a handy smokescreen they can put up in front of their attacks against non-whites, just for being non-white

[-] kinsnik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

yeah, soon they will "blur the lines" between immigrant and non-whites too

Exactly! That's why they're talking about "remigration" and the like..

Not only that, but even those born in the US. Basically rescind or render ineffective the 14th amendment.

"Blurs the line?"

Ok, let's try an experiment: "Hitler blurs the line on Jews, Romani and actual criminals ".

How does that read, Mr Journalist?

Fuck these false-objectivity, milquetoast, water-carrying fascist apologists.

~~"...Blurs The Line..."~~ "Wants To Pick and Choose"

Fix that for ya

In a troubling sign of how the xenophobia at play here may be yoked to the powers of the federal government in a Trump II presidency, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH, ironically) insisted on continuing to call the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio “illegal aliens” even though they are legal immigrants.

When confronted by a questioner about the Haitians being in the country legally, Vance played to the crowd and, with stubborn grandiosity, stuck to his false claim denying them their legal status:

Btw this is why they call everything they oppose a slippery slope: because it's what they want to do with their policies, and they project that's what other people want to do too.

Immigrant status is just the start. They don't care about what laws mean at all, and the crowd cheers for it.

Racists like to dance around the issue to make it a "us or them" situation, and make you pick a side.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
