As soon as the US seized control of the north western Mexican states (Mexico has states) they have been wanting to rid the land of non white people, under Eisenhower ‘operation wetback’ was an offical effort to remove non white citizens to Mexico from the western states that were formerly Mexican, many legal citizens were essentially kidnapped and dropped in southern Mexico where they knew no one, didn’t have the culture, didn’t speak the language, and didn’t have connections, often on boat trips against their will that provided no food or water if they could avoid it, a huge amount of people died on the ships or very soon after being forceably moved off the ships. The economic devistation from population decline in many effected towns and cities took more than a generation to recover.

 Mexico did request a cooperative effort to return Mexican nationals to Mexico, but rather than do this in a way that would make sense and not kill people, and focus on people with Mexican nationality specifically and not simply any Hispanic or part native person, the US decided the most fatal method was the way to go. Additionally citizenship would only be valid for white Americans. You know, Because they hate people who are even part native. 

 It was a deeply racist act of ethnic cleansing, and Donald Trump has said openly, in public, he wants this to happen again. Just as he said he wanted Japanese Internment Camps to happen for Muslim people, and I assume other non white populations.

 This is as heinous as if he demanded The Trail of Tears be once again used to ethnicity cleanse native people from the eastern US. It's absolutely INSANE that this isn't even a news story. 

 The press simply do not care to report on this clear open call to ethnic clensing, just like they never covered Texas refusing birth certificates for Hispanic children born on US soil, or the asylum seeker holding prisons where every non white woman was forcibly given a hysterectomy. You know, forced sterilization of a specific ethnic group. 

 The silence has been deafening. -

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
