The joke is they are going to get rid of the non whites that voted for Trump first to atleast get a few videos for the press and please the basic Trump voters.

The reason is because it will not be easy to find the illegals so they gotta get the easy targets first.

My country had that shi.t 90 years ago and 50% of americans voted for this mess my country went through in the 1930s. Don’t feel sorry for the legal immigrants who voted on this and also get deported. Remember you aren’t white.

They should really attache the blue states to Canada and just call it a day. Why even want to be “united” with that cra.p? If I were american and had money I’d def leave the next four years cause this is going to get messy really fast.

50% voted Trump and out of those 50% about 90% are gonna say: “I didn’t know about this” and the other 10% are celebrating far right shi.t

Who says Canada wants them?

Most blue state voters would still be considered quite right wing by Canadian standards.

Canada has its own conservativism problems. That said, the blue states are by definition the ones who majority voted against this

We absolutely do. I’m hoping the shit-show down south prevents the right wing voices here from gaining influence further than they already have.

This election as did the ones previously do not represent the US

Not just because of non voters but also the people unable to vote me being one of these due to bipartisan efforts to keep certain people from participating in democracy

Now on to the ones who did vote - did you consider the bipartisan efforts through the decades to up the pollution, downgrade education standards, keeping poverty ramped up through policies such as a minimum wage that is extremely below living wages, over funding police, etcetera that add up to the under informed populace that did vote

US elections are just more bread and circuses with no meat just some sorry looking past the expiration date potatoes

When Americans become part of Canada it lowers the average IQ of both countries.

If a cop rolled up on you, could you prove right then and there you are a citizen? Unless you habitually carry your passport or birth certificate or immigration papers, almost certainly not.

Are you going to have any way to prove it while you are in a holding facility with no access to a lawyer or at best a public defender who has heard the same story 80 times today?

This certainly wouldn’t be the first time an American Citizen got deported.

This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/card.html

The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic passport that has no visa pages. The card is proof of U.S. citizenship and identity, and has the same length of validity as the passport book.

Yes, a lot of us can because our licenses provide that verification.

Are licenses not like that in other states?

When your non-citizen family members go … I’m losing a school kid next week. I think her mom is scared so she’s going home. Kid is non-verbal, non-ambulatory, super sweet and doing well at school. What will her life look like in Venezuela? Dad is staying, but he can’t work and take care of the kiddo.

Didn’t they understand that risk when they entered the country illegally? I mean I know they are in a desperate situation, but if I was fleeing to Canada and then I get kicked out because I’m there illegally what right do I have to complain?

I think what you mean to say is “deporting a citizen would be illegal.” It is certainly possible for police and presidents to do illegal things. Remember the broad immunity granted to presidents by SCOTUS?

They can and have.

It’s resulted in lawsuits so we know it has. What’s really scary is what about the people who didn’t manage to phone home?

Maybe say that to veterans that were promised citizenship but got deported for a crime.
