Yeah no shit. We want the illegal immigrants gone. That’s why Trump got elected.

This cartoon is pretty outdated now that it’s a Jewish state and its liberal internationalist backers who are committing the extermination of a people and annexation of their lands.

Is it outdated (other than the “Siamese” description of conjoined twins)?

Liberals always seem to be the first to ally with fascists against the left.

Edit: I’d love a counterexample from any downvoter. All that tells me is that y’all don’t know your history. Liberals capitulate because they’re comfortable in their bourgeois status and don’t want to risk their financial stability for minority rights. Prove me wrong.

Oh hey, the guy who wrote Green Eggs and Ham thinks less of me? Oh no, whatever shall I do? He’s so smart, he rhymed “Sam I am” with “Green Eggs and Ham”!

/s in case that wasn’t obvious.

If you knew anything about history, you’d know that “America First” has always been synonymous with fascism.

And don’t worry, I never thought you were in danger of having an introspective thought. Reactionary ideology seeks to isolate members and inculcate them with antisocial dogma through ragebait, racism, and identity politics. It’s a counterrevolutionary movement that blames minorities and foreigners for the failings of capitalism, just like all of the fascist movements of the early 20th century.

Oh, and as a brief aside: Abraham Lincoln was a radical progressive. I just threw that in there because I know how much that fact pisses off fundamentalist reactionaries.

You going to volunteer to work in farm fields for poverty wages once all the migrant labor has been rounded up and deported?

I didn’t think so.

the thought process probably revolves around “No, we’ll just put the teenagers looking for their first jobs to work. and if that fails. Uh. Elon Robots!”

Man, it never gets old seeing lefties actually advocating for an abusable workforce for substandard wages. What is this, Jim Crow?

Americans will work shitty jobs for good wages. Right now, migrants work for less because they don’t have a choice. Remove the migrants, start going after companies that hire them, wages will go up.

In your dreams. You think Trump will fuck with rural farmers and rich industrialists who own factories that hire these undocumented immigrants? Or do you think somehow the leeches will relent and give fair wages to Americans to work the fields? What do you think would REALLY happen?

Better yet, let the migrants stay because they enrich our communities and are human beings just like you and me.

We could also enforce our labor laws uniformly and allow everyone to come and stay here if they wish. Give the migrants normal wages, while removing the stick of ICE that allows employers to abuse their undocumented labor force. Employers love ICE because ICE becomes enforcers if the labor force starts to get uppity.

You are scapegoating the wrong people. The real enemies are the people destroying our planet for illusory “profits” which won’t matter at all when the ecosystem collapses. Also, I don’t want a reply from a fucking fascist so don’t bother.

Ironically, many legal immigrants who voted for Trump and have relationships to illegals are worried.
