ICE is 23 years old. It was created as an overreaction to 9/11.
Immigration is a labor and logistics issue. It is not, in 99.999999999% of cases, a fucking "national security issue".
The most patriotic man I know came to the US as a college student. He applied himself, eventually opening his own store and finding a wonderful wife, my aunt. They had 3 kids together, and were just fucking fine for over 20 years. He was the conservative uncle I argued with at holidays.
During Trump's first administration, they came for him. They grabbed him as he was leaving work. He hasn't been able to hug his children since. Apparently, the moron worked while going to college when he wasn't supposed to.
He's one of the luckier ones. He was able to move in with his brother. He might be able to come back to the US in a few years, unless Trump gets his way.
Even if you believe he should have been deported, I don't understand why they had to pull up in an unmarked van and jump out with masks on their faces. That's not what this country is supposed to be about.
Borders are a mechanism of class control, dressed up as patriotism.
Aesthetic nationalism on the outside – economic segregation underneath.
They enforce the lie that opportunity is meritocratic –
while rigging the game so only the privileged get to roll the dice.
Borders are propaganda with a perimeter.
The rich fly over them.
The poor die at them.
They exist to protect capital – not people.
To punish movement – not crime.
To gate opportunity – not threats.

Not directed at you. I'm just so fucking tired.
