Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has reignited fears among undocumented migrants with promises of “mass deportations” and migrant communities are bracing for uncertainty and a new wave of nativism.

His administration plans to target those deemed public safety or national security threats, potentially reinstating workplace raids and using military resources.

Advocates warn that “collateral arrests” could sweep up migrants without criminal records.

Many, like “Dreamers” protected under DACA, fear family separations, while others, such as Carlos in NYC, hope Trump’s economic policies might benefit them.

“A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy. That would be very good for us too,” said Carlos, an undocumented Mexican who lives in New York City.

    I sincerely wish the absolute worst on any marginalized group that voted for Trump. You have nothing but my deepest sincere disgust and deserve whatever happens to you.

      Are white people exempt from that or why did you choose that wording?

        I chose that wording because Trump is a massive racist and yet all these minority groups he’s openly shit on still voted for him and they can get fucked.

        Because yeah Mr. “Build the wall” is totally gonna have your back.

          Oh and everybody fucking clapped. Get over yourself because while you do whatever the fuck this is, real ones are out there building solidarity and dual power. Snap out of your neoliberal yesteryear and into the reality that what matters now is a.) channels/orgs for mutual aid b) Solidarity Economies (aka folks having a foothold in their local economies and c) Encouraging anti-authoritarian parenting methods.

          We are in this mess because we want that EZ fix. Just vote against (obtuse, christo-)fascism so you can go back to bed for 4-8 years (while magrinalized folks get to suffer) – Instead of looking at the big picture.

          You know who looked at the big picture and built (astroturfed anyway) grassroots? All these right wing ghouls.

          Im not gonna rewrite this for every clown at the top of every thread playing the blame game.

          Get involved. Engage prefigurative politics. Identify the root causes and move on to the solutions.

          Or keep yelling at scarecrows you imagine. Just dont be surprised if that turns you into someone people dont want to be around.

        Sorry I have no sympathy for those that vote against their self interests.

        I’m not gonna feel sorry for the guy that willingly cut off his nose to spite his face.

          So you don’t have sympathy for >99% of the American voters.

            At this point I don’t have sympathy for 99% of humanity let alone Americans. History has shown me we’ll make the wrong choice almost every single time and at this point I just want humanity to die out and quit poisoning the world.
