I would start with this, because it's a flat out lie

> Everyone is ok targeting te immigrant populations because they are "illegal" or live in a gray area of legality.

People have been complaining about the attack on immigrants for a good, long while. And the complaining has been getting louder, more frequent, and from more people with every day. When they kidnapped workers and suddenly the price of everything went up, there was a lot of "see?!? this is what we're talking about"

So no, "everyone" isn't ok with the targeting of immigrants.

They should have said "enough are ok" instead of "everyone is ok".

Unfortunately, there are still enough people who are fine with the Trump / Miller / Noem / Bovino approach to immigration enforcement, or they're not impacted personally enough to make them speak or act.

I hope the cartoon villain responses coming from the administration when they're challenged on any of this will get more people to stand up against it all.

I don't think we should expect people to stand up against all of this. Even if most of them don't like it, let's be honest, it's not a dealbreaker for them. Especially if the next election other party puts forward some deliberately hypocritical, racist, out-of-touch elitist like Kamala Harris.

Gee I wonder what side of the political spectrum you align to...

I like rule of law and due process. I like the Constitution and its balance of powers. I think that a good chunk of Americans also like these things. I believe the current administration is acting in extremely contrary ways to those things. So yes, I expect more Americans to stand up and speak out.

> I like rule of law and due process.

Many people like this. It's just that the choice, as far as I understand, is not between rule of law and authoritarian dictatorship.

> I like the Constitution and its balance of powers.

And here, frankly speaking, I'm unfamiliar with the American Constitution in these aspects. How does it work? Does it only protect citizens? Or residents too? Does it protect illegal aliens too? Does it protect everyone in the world? Or does it operate on territorial principles, and begin to protect any person who sets foot on American soil, but does not protect everyone else?

[sjsdaiuasgdia]

There's extensive case law on most of those points, just do a bit of research.

This is standard right wing hate-filled drivel, like that peppered throughout your comment history.

Your ilk really are hoping that Trump's authoritarian takeover of the US succeeds, through provocation, apathy or by whatever means, because you're driven only by the pursuit of power to turn your hate into violence against your perceived enemies.
