i haven't been to Mexico since i was four. i don't speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!

awww, yeah? so now that you're being directly impacted by Trump's policies they've gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm..

    They think they're special and they can do anything they want because they're republican.

    What do you MEAN I'm out of the in-group? I was in the in-group.

    For those smarter among us, this is why we want laws that apply fairly to everyone.

    I don't want a world where crimes are expected, and you just have to continually manage whose good graces you're in in order to survive.

    You'd think billionaires of the 1990s would agree, but they can 10x their money if they just avoid falling out of windows.

    Bold of him to assume they'd send him back to Mexico and not to Sudan or whereverthefuck they're disappearing people to

    He would be best to go back to Mexico on his own right now, or else he'll probably end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

    Of course, he's an idiot so this won't have occurred to him.

    He openly admits that he doesn't actually know anything about the people he's voting for, and just votes for anyone who represents the republican party. He doesn't even know if he actually voted for Trump or not he just "suspects" that he probably did. This probably means he also doesn't bother to actually pay any attention to any of the policies of the republican party.

    He just coasted through life without paying any attention or ever engaging in his brain. He's the reason that manufacturers had to start putting "don't drink bleach" warnings on bleach.

    It's difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he's a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

    I'm also questioning why the state of Kansas didn't verify his voter registration in any way.

    Right? What happened in his civics/U.S. government classes, he just thought the voting rules didn't apply to him? All the other people who moved to the States from Mexico by the time they were four, yes, just not him.

    Some states allow non citizens to vote in non federal elections. I don't know the rules for Kentucky.

    Apparently neither does he.

    Kentuckian here, we're known for horse racing, bourbon, coal mining, and cave tourism. And also being ruthlessly exploited by the aforementioned industries for as long as the state has existed (and possibly even before then).

    He should go to Mexico and get a decent education because the US clearly did not teach him some basic ass fundamentals in civics and general comprehension.

    He says:

    I always loved Trump, this is unfair

    That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don't see this.

    They think along the lines of "The state shouldn't punish me, I am on the right side". That's the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It's unfathomable.

    A little-known fact is that Hitler's purge of Ernst Roehm and other brownshirts acquired the name "Night of the Long Knives" because Hitler used the phrase (which dates to medieval times) to describe what Roehm allegedly had planned for Hitler in a speech shortly after the event. Hitler never intended his own actions to be called that.

    Okay this is just a me, as a german with autism and history focus, thing, mixed with a pinch of macaber humor. But i always dislike when they are compared to the gestapo. ICE are villains alright, but not SUPER VILLAINS like anything the Nazis produced. The difference: PRESENTATION!!

    ICE is rediculouse, just some fat low life looser thughs that a motion-disabled person could outrun

    But yes i get why we compare them, brings the point across, both are fascists/nazis and SS is on a waaayy different level.

    If ICE is that pathetic, how pathetic will be their attempt at an SS!?

    Different note: i HOPE bernie outlives trump. I DO NOT want to witness what trump does when he gets this into his sausage pedo fingers

    I don't know what your news filter is like, but these guys are far from comical. Yes, the first wave to arrive were a bunch of tubby Texans, but now they're going door to door in gangs of 'roided-up wannabe Rambos with full tactical gear and long guns, busting down doors and storming in like it's Iraq.

    If you dont have a gun and you are outnumbered by a group with guns, ofc they are scary. They arent trained. They dont use tactics. Put them in a combat situation, an ambush, they wouldnt survive at all. The gestapo were trained in combat hand to hand, tech and fire arms. And that properly.

    Take their armor and guns away and you once again only have "hubert your friendly neighborhood fascist"

    Most of them are clowns, but a number are former military. And even then that's ignoring some of the real fucked up nazis who live in deep country

    Edit: let me put it this way: you say if we took their guns away they would be nothing? Well, go take their guns away.

    We're doing fascism but it's being driven by mostly incompetent shitkids. I guess we should thank our lucky stars they are so incompetent because what happened in germany showed what competent types can do, and that's not really 'catching on' here in parallel to 1935 deutschland. The US is also a country with a longer history of open free discourse than the brief freedoms germans had between the wars.

    And finally, although the economy is wretched, we aren't to the bread-lines and other horrors the depression brought.

    We may get there though at this rate. And don't get it twisted, they aren't all incompetent fascists, just notably a bunch of incompetent moves. We aren't out of the woods yet entirely.

    I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he's the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.

    Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?

    That's what gets me too. America has always been in a weird place where they blindly worship everyone famous. And they treat politics like a sport. So it's not surprising that some guy rolls around selling them monorails. But i expected that guy to look like george Clooney and the charisma or Vince McMahon or something.

    But instead they get ripped off by the dumbest, absolutely vile looking and provably smelling human being i couldn't even imagine. He looks and acts like someone that a scientist had to invent in a lab. He is the villain from an Austin powers movie.

    I think the US is so morally and socially bankrupt that a large percentage of the population basically worships money and by extension the people that have it. So trump being a literal slug man with no humanity but mega rich is a great example of how this works.

    Aside from the main point of the article, how the fuck does it happen that someone votes since 1991 even though he's not eligible?

    Does no one check that? Where I live, they have a list of people who can come to a vote in that specific region and unless you can present an official ID proving you're that person, you can't vote.

    Where I now live they check ID, but in the state over they didnt. You gave your name and address and if you were on the list you voted, if not then you weren't registered. Then they cross you off the list. Seemed to work well enough.

    What I will do, is gather up all the empathy that you expressed for ICE victims before this happened to you, and then use exactly the same amount of concern for your wellbeing.

    The common theme is people who think they're the in-crowd bullying outsiders, discovering that no, they were never in the in-crowd, the in-crowd just told them they were for as long as it was convenient.

    If you're even slightly any category of minority, and you vote Republican thinking that they'll count you as one of their own, then you've not paid attention in history class.

    It's wild, dude is an "illegal immigrant" who came here as a child and ended up mayor of a small town in KS.
