Fucking hell he's going to get into a trade war with the world
 
Didn’t Trump and Rubio already propose sending US citizen prisoners to El Salvador? Maybe sending immigrants is just a dry run to see how many people are cool with it.

I think it’s pretty far fetched as well that black people would be sent to El Salvador, especially without huge backlash from our community. The threat of that backlash would be the only deterrent though.

That said, if at some point he says fuck it, like he did when he tried to bring in the military against US citizens during the George Floyd protests, then I guess we’ll see what happens then.

I honestly don't think that the backlash from black people is as big of a deterrent as it used to be. They could easily say that all they are doing is getting violent criminals who raped and killed women and children out of our country as they doing with these Latino men.

They are using a man having tattoos and wearing certain clothing brands as identifiers of gang members. We should be paying close attention to this.

10 years ago we didn’t think a mob would take over Capitol Hill to stop a election, and on top of that get pardoned for it.

My point is everything is upside down now and within the realm of possibility.

Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including violent American criminals

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “there are obviously legalities involved” in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that El Salvador’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals raises clear legal issues but described it as “very generous” and said President Donald Trump would make a decision on whether to move forward with it.

Rubio reached an unusual agreement with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele a day earlier that the Central American country would accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including American citizens and legal residents who are imprisoned for violent crimes.

“There are obviously legalities involved. We have a Constitution,” Rubio said at a news conference Tuesday in San Jose with Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves. “But it’s a very generous offer. No one’s ever made an offer like that — and to outsource, at a fraction of the cost, at least some of the most dangerous and violent criminals that we have in the United States. But obviously, the administration will have to make a decision

I'm Black American, but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn a blind eye to the clear fascism that is going on simply because right now it's not happening to Black Americans.

The black people that act like we shouldn't give a fuck when other people are abused just because they aren't black are weird to me. I get sometimes we as black people care too much about other groups given how little the care about our well-being. I don't think the solution to that is for us to get to the point where we watch the government kidnap people off the streets and not give a fuck. If we turn a blind eye to that kinda shit now, we'll suffer for it later.

This coupled with their messaging against drug dealers, they would definitely make a case that drug dealers are violent criminals and start looking for any black man that fits the description.

And we all know there’s a lot of black men that are innocent but affiliated that would be included in those round ups.

Speculation for now, but not impossible at all.
 
And it's not even just Latinos. These scumbags are going to college campuses and taking people in broad daylight when theyre walking to their classes. If you write a negative op-ed against this country or protest against Israel, and youre here as a foreign student, they'll kick you out of this country
 
I’ve been watching passively pretty much since 10 last night. This should be a historic turning point. Lets see if Dems use this as a momentum builder
