people should just open-carry next to trucks the size of brachiosaurs while chomping on cheeseburgers and drinking piss-poor beer.

nobody'll accuse them of being immigrants.

    I’m white but I lived in Downey for several years and even worked in Montebello for a while. Reading these articles makes my blood boil.

    Even though I moved here from Iowa I’m not sure what it is about the rest of this country that doesn’t understand that in Los Angeles, no one gives a fuck whether you’re here legally or not.

    I know it won’t happen, but what this always makes me wonder is why we don’t leave the US. The rest of the country wants to shit on us constantly while we pay their taxes? Gtfoh

    No, as a native American, i can confirm you all suck and should leave.

    Edit for clarification: I mean all settlers and their descendants. If you aren't first nation, you're in the wrong nation.

    You... You want to set some more realistic goals? Estimates put the Native American population at around 10m or around 3% of the US population. Relocating 290m people isn't going to happen.

    Imagine someone being so racist they think you’re too Hispanic to live in Los Angeles.

    AMERICAN CITIZENS are being attacked, by their own government.

    Doesn’t matter what color their skin is, this is an enemy invasion by domestic terrorists. Anyone who’s sworn an oath to the Constitution should be infuriated and ready to remedy this by meeting fire with fire.

    This is nothing new. Here in Southern California in the 1930s, there were county sheriffs who would routinely round up any Latinos they found, and dump them in Mexico. Many US citizens could never get back, and just lived out their lives in a strange country, their families often never knew what happened.

    We are there again. And with no more birthright citizenship? How can any of us prove we're citizens? I'm as white as they're making them, and even I feel vulnerable.
