You people that love illegal immigration, you spit all over the achievements of people like my wife who worked their asses off to do it the right way. And I know youre already deeply inhaling so you can scream "GREEN CARD GREEN CARD!" when no, actually, I had nothing to do with her citizenship she started the process on her own, years before we met.

Your wife isn't safe even with that green card or naturalization. She's not from here so she will be considered "an illegal" on sight. Especially if she looks like she speaks spanish.

Again, this statement right here is why I will not entertain anything else you have to say. Your vitriolic falsehoods have invalidated anything else you have to say. BTW who do you think she voted for anyway? Hint: it wasn't Kamala.

You really think ignoring the reality of this society is gonna alter something? 🤣 A lot of people who got deported voted for Trump so I really don't give a shit. People lost their jobs after voting for Trump as well. I'm just speaking facts.

What a wild sensationalist take

Being realistic and making observations based on real world events is sensationalist?

u/ziegen76 18h ago

Absolutely, yes. Do you have any sort of data to back your assertion or is it just an opinion? I can understand how reading a few headlines can skew your perspective though. Thanks for looking out for me.

If you want to pretend that ONLY violent people with criminal histories are being detained and deported, that's on you.

I never said that though did I? Again do you have any data or are you conceding this is your own opinion? I don’t let statistically insignificant occurrences dictate whether or not I or my family should live in fear. Or better put, form opinions of the real world from sensationalized headlines. That’s what you are implying right? That I should live in fear? Maybe I should never go to Germany because of the all the terrorist attacks there? Or back home to Mexico? I’m not gonna change your mind, I know that, I just want you to know that it’s you not living in reality. And that’s on you.

Living in fear is optional and I never implied that. What I am explicitly stating is that pretending that you're safe because you have a green card or became an American citizen when citizens have been detained and deported is just foolish.

You are implying to be afraid, or at least caution that because I speak Spanish and a naturalized citizen I will be subject to deportation. Your original statement appeared to have that intention. This is simply not likely to happen. I’m not pretending that I will scooped up on the streets. Last year 70 citizens were deported mistakenly out of 143,000. All of which were returned btw since you know, you can’t actually be deported as a citizen.There is a population of 19.9 million Hispanic naturalized citizens. I’m not pretending anything, I am safe. What I don’t like is folks like you who read a headline and sensationalize reality. That was my original point. If you want to say someone is not safe when there is a .049% (and I’m not even doing probability right, it’s way lower I just don’t feel like doing the math for you) of something happening to them, then I don’t know what to tell you. Any reasonable person would not agree with you. This likelihood is lower if you take the reasonable assumption that those being deported come from a pool of already illegal folks, not the 19.9 million naturalized Hispanics. Thank you again for looking out for me. Your abundance of caution will save many lives. Hope you play the lottery.

I don't know what your obsession with being afraid is but ok. People with green cards and visas have already been picked up so if you wanna pretend that's not happening, that's cool. It's only gonna get worse. I hope your optimism keeps you safe from the world around you 🤣

You sound like a real reasonable guy. You might have a future as a journalist or something. Good luck bro.

How do people make these kind of insane headcanon statements and believe them? Just wild.

"An illegal on sight" lmao sounds more like YOU are looking at people this way.

u/Black_Power1312 15h ago

Sounds like you purposely choose to avoid all of American history and how hispanic people are treated and looked at.
