First of all, “we’re a country of laws” doesn't sound quite right until you realize those laws have never been applied equally 💁🏽‍♀️. The system locks up poor people for stealing food/finding shelter in the streets while billionaires commit tax frauds. So let’s not pretend legality equals morality (slavery was legal (let's not get started with modern day slavery), incest/underage marriage is legal).

1. Family separation isn’t just about legality.

The U.S. government under Trump's “zero tolerance” policy deliberately ripped children from their parents as a deterrent, not as a routine legal process. Thousands of kids were separated who haven't been reunited. That’s not law enforcement, that’s cruelty disguised as policy.

2. Seeking asylum is legal.

Under both U.S. and international law, people have the right to cross borders, even “illegally” to seek asylum. Criminalizing asylum doesn't make it illegal. It just makes the system unjust.

Are you assuming that people who seek asylum have committed heinous crimes? Because that's a dangerous and ignorant assumption and it reveals more about your biases than about the people you’re talking about.

Asylum seekers aren't criminals. They’re people fleeing war, persecution, cartel violence, sexual exploitation and political oppression. Many are survivors of trauma, not perpetrators of it. Seeking asylum is a human right, NOT a criminal act.

And hope you God, if a war breaks out in the US (or human made environmental disaster), countries will open their borders to US civilians seeking ASYLUM. Humble yourself a bit, although the US seems to be above law - it's not impossible.

Let’s be clear:

✔️ They aren't “breaking in”

✔️ They aren't “jumping the line”

✔️ They aren't “terrorists”, "rapists” or whatever fear mongering label gets clicks on talk radio.

They’re parents, children, students, workers. They're people with stories and futures they’re fighting to protect. The idea that fleeing violence makes someone morally suspect is not only false, it's dehumanizing but that's racism 101.

In fact, U.S. and international law explicitly protect the right to seek asylum. The real crime is denying people safety, detaining them indefinitely or separating them from their children just because they crossed an imaginary line to stay alive.

So no, these are not criminals. These are human beings in crisis. And if you see desperation and respond with punishment, then maybe you’re the one who should be rethinking your idea of justice.

3. “Illegals” isn’t just a slur, it’s ignorant.

Human beings aren’t illegal. Nearly half of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. didn’t “sneak in”, they overstayed visas. But no one’s out here demanding ICE raids on Europeans. Wonder why?

4. “Rule of law” doesn’t mean equal justice.

Black and brown communities face harsher sentencing, more surveillance and systemic criminalization. On the other hand, you have police officers and white collar criminals often gliding right past “law and order”.

5. As for the “American kids cry too when their parents go to jail” argument…

That’s a deeply flawed and honestly, cruel comparison. It's not nearly the same and saying U.S. citizens also suffer doesn’t justify what’s being done to immigrant families. It’s not a competition.

-U.S. family separations (while often unjust too) involve due process, court involvement and child welfare systems, that's still flawed. This is a separate issue that deserves fact checking and not compared to, only to be weaponized. What kind of US justice are we talking about when various reasons such as inequity and inequality (“money for war but can't feed the poor”, that's injustice and again - inhumane) are detrimental factors to family separations.

-Immigration separations under zero tolerance involved no plan, no accountability and no reunification. Babies were literally taken without documentation on who their parents were.

Let’s not hypothesize people’s lives like they’re theoretical case studies. These are real families, real children and real trauma. They're not chess pieces in your debate about borders and crime.

Trump dismantled empathy. I find it's hard to convince someone of something they already are convinced up. It's like, "I can OWN the LEFT! with my OWN LOGIC!"

That is their argument when the premise of reality is different for both people.


I'm not sure why so many white people think they're exempt from the fallout. Poverty, disability, chronic illness - none of that is part of Trump's "MAGA" plan. He's not going to protect the middle income. He's protecting profit, power and whiteness as a brand --> not real life struggles.

What is LAW?

Due process?

The issue is people are either pretending not to understand the law or are truly ignorant of it.

ICE is breaking the law all the time. There is no due process.

No one is policing ICE. Not only that they are asking other institutions to break the law also.

They shoot unarmed press people on camera who were walking away from them. We are told the press were in the wrong.

They are allowed murder beat people up touch them inappropriately.



They are allowed to behave like rapists the lowest of the low. They have no honour.

What is more they have no courage. No conviction. There is nothing noble about them.



When you grow up fearing the police or govt instituitions it doesnt something to you. It changes your decision making process.

I have heard immigrants both black white and hispanic say they are afraid to leave their homes. They legal. They have papers. I have heard citizens who dont look white say they know there is nothing they can do that these people just hate them openly say they hate them and have shown they can murder them or beat them without consequence.

What is more white people don't seem to realize that these forces will be used eventually on them too.

The passiveness .. its embarassing.

Elon Musk got thrown out of the tower a white billionaire . MAGA chewed him up and spat him out. White American middle class people think Trump doesnt want what is theirs too?

I will give a non American example.

In Northern Ireland last night british loyalists rioted and burned the homes of irish families and migrant families because of an assault on a young british loyalist girl (which is awful).

A man named Irving was found with guns in his car illegally.

The police have just let this happen.

Neither of these are going to be charged with terrorism

However an Irish lad in a band called #kneecap at one of their concerts was thrown a flag .. he waved it .. he is being charged with terrorism because of waving a flag.

Is that equality?

British white men get away with rioting and burning down buildings. Irish man gets charged with terrorism for waving a flag??

"We're" bitch you dont even live here. I think we've seen over the last decade that any other race would do the same to whites if given the chance. I consider all races to be pretty even at this point. Its funny to think about. Who liberated the africans, the chinese, every other oppressed race in the US? White people. When they tried to oppress white people, who liberated them? White people. They liberated themselves. Strong group of people. Maybe you're the one who needs to learn how to coexist.


I live in an area that is predominately white. Good Christian people who I'm happy I share a community with. Look at all of the "liberal" places in the US. They're absolute shitholes. Let the police do their job. You know, if you're a good citizen, you serve your community, the police will recognize you and never bother you. Worry about yourself first because you need help, and us virgos, we cant fix you all.


Acting like OP was the foreign personal support worker who left your grandpa with an unwashed ass on his deathbed

Racism turned around basically. Stereotype of black parents not being together in the US. Her grandpa gave her racist advice (not necessarily regarding the stereotype) that she agrees with but still ended up succumbing to what racists say about black parents (they don't stay together, have children without marriage, etc).

And why is that funny?

And why would anyone disrespect a woman and talk down to her who has given birth and raising a child which btw is the hardest job in the world, especially alone.

Get out of here with the false narrative. Enslaved Africans in the US fought for their own liberation.

Chinese immigrants were heavily exploited and at some point, racism was legal towards them.

Indigenous communities continue to face resistance today.

White people in the US have been the oppressors, not the oppressed.

The police aren't doing their job, they've been abusing their position with little repercussion even for murder.

And just because I don’t live in the U.S. doesn’t mean it’s not my business. The difference is, the U.S. has dipped into most countries through colonization, coups, sanctions and military force. So when we speak on U.S. oppression, it’s because we’ve lived through the ripple effects. We make it our business when we see injustice because silence in the face of oppression is complicity.

Being a Virgo doesn't mean shit and it shows with your poor response.

I could care less tbh. I didn't do anything to you, so keep my race out of your hate post.


If you “could care less" then why respond? No one singled you out personally. What was called out is a pattern, not your individual identity. If your race was mentioned, it’s because the original comment was a response based on white supremacy and distorting historical facts to justify oppression.

If you’re not upholding that mindset, then maybe it’s not about you. But ignoring systemic issues doesn’t make them disappear, it just makes you complicit

Is referencing that she's a single mom "talking down to her about her child?" Because that kinda seems like a stretch given that she made a racist statement that was turned around on her. It's funny for that simple reason. Idk why you're overcomplicating it or taking it as some personal attack on your mothering. Do you share the same views as her? Then take offense to it. If you don't, ignore it because it's literally not meant for you and apparently you don't understand it.

It doesn’t make it right that he was abusive towards her deceased grandad and her single mother status and you obviously cheering him

on isn’t right either and no, once again, I do not agree with racism. It’s always made me cringe tbh.

What I’m seeing is a bunch of entitled white people prioritizing their feelings over real, ongoing injustice. It only proves my point. When confronted with truth, the instinct isn’t reflection, it’s deflection.



No you're not seeing that. No one has hurt feelings. You are the entitled one thinking you can make a thread about "white people" and infer that white people oppose humane treatment of people in poverty or bad situations. It's very rude

It's not rude. What's rude is when you fail to address people who make posts that all immigrants are criminals.

I'm surprised you only commented when you felt the need to defend yourself but lacked the same energy before this thread was created 👋🏽

Y’all the ones who are racist and inciting violence. I wouldn’t talk this way to anyone who wasn’t.
Lol really? So you didn't see other people's post about immigrants being criminals? That it's justified to separate parents from their kids? Gtfoh.

You only commented when it concerned you. That's why you're a bitch.

No, I just didn’t want to be mean and point out that you’re part of the problem. Are you Canadian? Or are you an immigrant from the Philippines that works in Canada and part of the reason nurses there only get paid 40k a year?
click to expand



1. First of all, Filipino nurses working in Canada or anywhere else aren’t the reason wages are low. That's government, policies and corporate healthcare for you. As a Canadian citizen, I'm not upset at my fellow nurses. I know where the problem comes from.

2. Second, reducing someone’s identity to “immigrant from the Philippines” as a way to discredit them is not just racist but it’s lazy thinking. You’re blaming people who work hard.

3. Third, if you're upset about nurses only making 40k a year, you should be mad at the system that devalues care work, not the immigrants upholding it. We're not underpaid because of where we’re from, we’re underpaid because of corporates and government thinking they need to profit first in both public and private healthcare.

I thought you were Canadian

Please, make your point. As if what's happening in the US doesn't have ripple effects or we should be unbothered of injustice because it's happening in another country. Lol separated by borders/countries doesn't mean you shouldn't give a shit.

So you are Canadian? Thats my point lol. If you're interested whats happening in my country is completely different and complicated, look up David Seymour and the Treaty of Waitangi reform. We have an imigration problem too but its quite a complicated can off worms.

Also,


Dear White RACIST people of DXP,


If you actually go out of your comfort zone and self entitled lenses, maybe talk to minorities (non-whites), you'll soon find out how racism takes a toll on their mental health. It's been expressed on platforms how they wish to move elsewhere outside the US and people who have been lucky enough have done it or in the process.


I don't think racists will have any problems with any of that, to be honest.

It’s obvious you don’t even talk to any Hispanics from the US. Most of them don’t want more immigrants either.


Lmao, the irony is wild. You’re so loud and wrong, it’s embarrassing.

You keep missing the actual issue. This isn’t about whether some Hispanic folks support immigration restrictions. It’s about how white supremacy weaponizes division within marginalized groups to justify cruelty.

Instead of parroting talking points, maybe actually listen to those most affected and not just the ones who agree with you. Also, Hispanics who voted for Trump are now vocalizing their regret.

Check your biases and stop pretending you're above it all.

Talk to your ancestors. Maybe they’ll remind you what it felt like to be scapegoated, displaced or hunted down (if they were). Ask them about the Holocaust, since history seems to be slipping through your privilege.

Yes, the majority of Trump supporters are white, middle-aged, rural hillbillies. But a good amount of Hispanic/Latinos as well as “other races” outside of black also helped push him over the finish line. Many of these Hispanic/Latinos simply hate on each other and always try to one up each other.

I don’t like either parties but Republicans do enjoy running things on blatant hate and hate often wins because there’s many people who hate their lives and want others to suffer along with them. How other countries see the American results playing out does matter since their disgust caused left-wing parties of Canada and Australia to beat their own right-wing parties (some of them were in the lead before Trump’s win).

The only saving grace from Trump’s win is him cutting social programs that would hurt his heaviest supporters… white aging hillbillies. Him and his party simply does not give a shit about anyone including white people outside of his billionaire buddies (who happen to mostly be white and immune to any wrongdoing they ever commit as you mentioned) which will take time for most of his supporters to reap. Majority of his supporters have always been used as pawns. Very good little pawns.

I personally know more immigrants who make six figures than white people. Overall immigrants have been a necessary and positive influence in America. Not just the high earners. We also deeply need people constructing and farming long hours out in the hot sun, to landscape/mow our lawns and clean our buildings/houses, etc. There’s not many white people who are into those jobs… but many illegals are. I personally don’t give a shit about that as long as they’re working hard ultimately for the people of the country. The produce won’t be picking themselves and the infrastructure won’t be building themselves. Billionaires also don’t actually give a shit about it and are the ones using them for cheap labor but they also want to use them as scrape goats to divide us against each other because they know we’d be powerful in numbers if we all joined together and went against the billionaires/oligarchs as a common goal.

But people choose to be a sheep and would rather hate on what they’re told they need to be hating on. It’s so pathetic to be hating on the lowest group of people as a personality. Like really think about why they hate these people apart from simple racism. Is it cause they’re stealing these jobs they wouldn’t do themselves? Cause the republicans outsourcing high paying tech jobs to Indians already have that covered. So why not hate on the Indians for that high salary job they’re stealing? Cause you know you would never have the qualifications for it like you would for that menial job the illegals are stealing? We have way more crime from actual citizens than illegals. Illegals is not just a special American issue, it’s a humanitarian issue that affects other many other countries so I don’t think much of it and don’t see why others care so much besides just wanting to have someone to hate on.
