>>40278779They don't need an excuse to abuse you. Letting yourself be stripped of due process is not going to help that.
>>40278789You don't believe in the concept of asylum. That is
disgusting but not super relevant. I would refer you to the last point, self-preservation.
>>40279963I'm sorry, you think repeatedly withholding due process is NOT a slippery slope? Even if they're doing so with initially with undocumented "criminals" (usually people with misdemeanors and shit because the actual serious criminals are in prison)
...and then undocumented noncriminals (and their family members and children and whoever is nearby)
...and then people who are legally here as refugees or asylees, including people literally invited here by our government
...and visa holders, and green card holders, and DACA kids
...and now they're talking about denaturalizing people, removing birthright citizenship, and "homegrown criminals"
at EACH STEP claiming they're only there for that single group.
You're not seeing a slope? Because we appear to be barreling down a goddamn hill. I don't know if you are being disingenuous or if you genuinely don't notice.
Probably it's just that you think you're above the people being denied due process. I assure you, whatever race you are, this administration sees you as a dirty poor (and furthermore, a dirty queer poor) barely above a brown immigrant.
You are not significantly safer. Give them a few years.
