Wouldnt it be delicious if everyone illegal ran up as much debt of any kind as they could, stole from their employer, got a car from a buy-here-pay here place... whatever and then just departed the country with as much wealth as they could take.
Two wrongs don’t make it a right here. What good is hurting the local businesses trying to get by because of dumb policies and dreams of mass deportations?
Because the majority of those people just voted for the guy who endorsed mass deportations. The alternative is to hide, pray they dont find you and take all your shit anywaysand send you out of the country with the shirt on your back.
The vast majority of Americans either endorsed or sat by while they gave away the "freedom" they have been shouting at the whole world about for the past 100 years. Whatever happened to "Give us your poor, your tired, your hungry" or "Land of the free, home of the brave" does "Land of the indentured and scared of brown people and queers." not have the same ring to it?
And now, my news, my feeds, my socials are CONSTANTLY clogged with your shitshow and I hope Rome hurries up and fucking burns.
I doubt people who are illegally would have a good credit line, and would imagine people who would hire them would not vote for this, although a lot of people are dumb. Saw an interview with a person who was here illegally and supported trump, he did not vote as despite the GQP rhethoric they can't vote, but there are also Spanish people that can vote, have families that would be affected and still voted for him.
I'm just saying... if being deported is on the table, fuck shit up and dip. I honestly believe that the best possible outcome for America is that shit gets so bad so fast that Trump cant keep up a damage control and spin campaign.
People are horrified at how bad things can get when his ideas blow up in his face, I'm worried about how bad things will get if they work.
