    It doesn’t make it better if Mexicans are detained for looking Mexican.

      Why doesn’t everyone just stop looking so goddamm Mexican?! And tuck your shirt in! If this bloke were innocent do you really think he’d look so Mexican?

      Look at Ted Cruz (but not for too long please) . Homeboy is Latino but he’s not all Mexican looking. He even goes to Mexico when things get tough at home in the North America and it doesn’t even rub off on him. Bro tucks in his shirt.

        Where I live an easy way to tell the Mexicans from the less-Mexicans is that the Mexicans tuck their shirts in and have a sweet belt lol.

    Those unfortunate accidents can easily be resolved:

    just make the Mexicans wear something that makes them easily recognisable. Something like, I don’t know, maybe a small patch in the shape of a sombrero, oh and and make it yellow so it stands out… hm, that idea kinda feels familiar… /s

      Not gonna happen just like Obama refused to do anything about Bush era torturers covering for them. Barring a revolution Trump era officials will got off fine at worst having a single symbolic person given a slap on the wrist.

        You think there is going to be a country to go back to after Trump? Quit fooling yourself. He’s torn down all the progress you’ve made as a country in the last 75 years. It would take decades and decades to get back to where you were, and you’ll be left behind by the rest of us. Welcome to the divided states on America

          Yeah, there may even be more than one.

            Honestly, they’d probably fair better as smaller nation states at this point. Ideologies, infrastructure, education curriculums, policing, voting policy are all vastly different from state to state already. Of course, then you’d be dealing with constant internal expansionism.

      It’s not gonna happen unless the populist left takes power, and only if they decide to not compromise this time, like they did during the time of the New Deal. And I don’t see that happening in time for 2028. But who knows, maybe I’m underestimating DJT’s ability to drive unemployment to the 20-30% range.

      11 were hanged. It was a symbolic guesture. You are already free to believe that fascism is over and that they don’t have any influence right now. You don’t need a trial, just close your eyes.

    I really fucking hate this administration. Not a day goes by that I do not wish for this all to just end. It’s just depressing. If this is what America has become I’m not sure I want to be here any more, not that I have anywhere to go.

    That might be because there’s a huge Irish diaspora in Mexico

    Or it might be because these D average high school late graduates can only see things through one lens

    If it weren’t for their stupid fucking gun laws, I would absolutely be advocating for a hemisphere wide Schengen. Beyond containing American gun stupidity, there is zero reason to have hard borders in the Americas.

      Yes! I never needed a passport to visit Canada in the '80s and '90s. Haven’t been back since that changed. Also lived in Texas and crossed the Rio Grande back and forth with no issues in the early '90s too. The border wall insanity and militarization of all this is insane!
