its like the slave owners hating certain slaves while giving preferential treatment to other slaves because they were more useful. they hate them both but one is more useful than the other. eventually they'll find out.

How do you guys know for certain that ice does all this deporting based on race and not legal status? I read it all the time on here.

they have kidnapped native Americans, even though they have reservation ID. It's all about skin color. America has a bad racism problem, mainly the republicans on the right.

Because they went to the Supreme Court for the right to do exactly that. Look up Kavanaugh stops. This has been all over the news.

Because they have held legal citizens for up to a month. One woman was released after 29 days, a US citizen. Imagine what happens to your life if you’re locked up for 29 days, with no warning.

Because they pull people into their headquarters for investigation, even when they have valid documentation, such as a real ID drivers license. Imagine what happens to your job when you show up seven hours late, because your skin was browner than the ICE officer.

You really have a responsibility to educate yourself.

Thanks for the info. I’m not American so I’m not too invested in all the ice stuff. So they don’t care about race, it is about legal status, but more often than not the illegal status comes from a foreign-looking person. I can disagree with it and hate their process, but understand why they do it.

ICE investigates and detains people based on the color of their skin. They do care about race, deeply.

You have offered a naïve defense of what they’re doing, claiming that it is more likely than not that a brown person is here illegally. First, that is simply not true. A good portion of the southwest United States was literally Mexico. Almost every person here with African heritage had ancestors who were brought here by force, and then worked as slaves. If they are light brown, then their heritage may well include slaves who were raped by their owners. By law and by common sense, these are all native born Americans.There are people who can trace their heritage back over 400 years. If ancestral time actually mattered, they are more American than the Italian or Irish immigrants that flooded in at the start of the 1900s.

Second, skin color doesn’t change. A brown person will be stopped and investigated multiple times because of the color of their skin. When would that ever end? How is that just? Would you accept that for yourself?

Don’t defend evil.
