I've been watching the legal "stuff" around #deporting and #kidnapping in the US.

I'm confused;

Isn't there a simple law that says "a #citizen of the #USA may not be forced to leave the country by anyone for any reason at any time."
If this is an important law and elected leader acts above the law then #impeach leader immediately on the first attempt to violate the #law.

show some respect for rule of law.

If there isnt one, why isnt there one being written right now.

#TheOrangeMenace ran on promising his terrified hoards that he would protect them by #deporting "violent criminals & gang members who are in the country illegally", but INSTEAD #NaziDon's Gestapo have been going after the low-hanging fruit of people in the country LEGALLY but showing up for their immigration hearings or at college protests. 🤬

THINK ABOUT THIS:

*Even if* you agree with #TheOrangeMenace about #deporting "criminals" ("drug dealers, murderers, rapists") who are in the country illegally...

WHY would you focus on people WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY PAYING THEIR TAXES (despite knowing they won't receive a dime in benefits) simply b/c they believe "It's the right thing to do"?

Of all the low-hanging-fruit of people to target, this would indeed be the lowest of the low. 🤬 msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/

I feel like throwing an eraser at these sleeping #influencers like one of my professors did at #HowardU BITD. Hello? Have you been paying attention? The current #fascist #lawless regime is, whelp, #lawless. They are busy #deporting #legalimmigrants & threatening to #deport #citizens. They have illegally fired #civilservants. Why would they, on god's green earth, be constrained by #international #treaties and #IARU agreements or listen to suggestions from #hams?

Asking Palestine to disarm long term when Israel won't even give up their #WMDs is not a reasonable request.

Whose job will it be to defend Palestinians against Israel? Hamas' #alQassam are arguably counterproductive, but Palestinians need someone competent, not nothing. You can't leave 6 million civilians (12 million if you include refugees in neighboring countries) undefended against one of the world's largest militaries who are supported by the world's only supper power.

There needs to be someone with the authority to shoot back as the Israeli military if they try to attack Palestinians. Someone really needed to be able to snipe back at the Golani Brigade

And what do they even mean by "surrender"? surrender to what?

If Israel export their terror problem by #deporting the #militants and leadership like they did in the 1960s and 1970s then Israel should be held responsible when we see a 21st century resurrection of Black September and the PFLP-EO (at best) if they completely dismantle the current resistance there's a risk it will be hijacked by lunatics like ISIS

Or do they just want "Hamas" to line up against a wall and let Israel do what the IDF did to Egyptians repeatedly? and they define "Hamas" so broadly that, as far as, i can tell #Hamas is just the Israeli word for "Palestinian", which they refuse to say in English newarab.com/opinion/who-was-re (the uncensored version might have been in Haaretz Hebrew later if I am remembering right, but that's paywalled anyway)

Per NBC 👀

With the incoming #Trump administration looking to prioritize #deporting Chinese nationals, citing security concerns, many undocumented #Chinese men say they couldn’t feel further afield from the reasoning behind the potential policy — that Trump thinks they’re assembling an army. But, having fled their homeland because of political persecution, or uprooted their lives for better economic opportunities, many undocumented Chinese men reject the idea.

Unfreakinbelievable. #ThePurge

The most left-wing segment of the population is heavily white, the Pew Research Center has found.

While white Democrats have become even more liberal in recent decades, many working-class voters of color remain moderate to conservative.

These voters say #crime is a major problem, for instance.
They are uncomfortable with the speed of change on #gender #issues (which helps explain why Trump is running so many ads that mention high school trans athletes).
On foreign policy, Black and Hispanic voters have #isolationist instincts, with the Times poll showing that most believe the U.S. “should pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems here at home.”

#Immigration may be the clearest example.
Many voters of color are unhappy about the high immigration of the last few years. They worry about the impact on their communities and worry that new arrivals are unfairly skipping the line.

In our poll, more than 40 percent of Black and Hispanic voters support “#deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally back to their home countries.” Support for a border #wall was similar:
