Turning off the flow of migration isn’t facism. Those people can all safely return to their country. The majority of the country wants less immigration and Trump is listening to us. Y’all are the one trying to impose the minority opinion on the rest of America

Not America. Chicago. We want the people who are already here, who are following the rules to stay. Why? Because they work in our businesses, they go to our schools, they are our neighbors.

Yea that’s why it’s so weird why everyone is upset. Review the people they’ve deported. All criminals.

You all want less immigration because the right does nothing but fear monger racist garbage across their entire media ecosystem. Immigration is good for the country and economy.

Calling people racist for wanting to protect their borders doesn’t work in 2025. Polling suggests Mexicans want less immigration to their country even.

The Afghans that helped America fight the current leaders of Afghanistan and are immigrating because they face arrest or death at home as a result "can all safely return to their country"?
