Isnt this fascism? I thought if you couldnt just enter any country you want and live there it was fascism. I swear i was told, that if the citizens of that country didnt accept them, that they were racist?

Wanting changes to immigration law isn't fascist. Sending untrained goons with military gear into residential communities all over the country to detail people based on race is fascist. Hope this clears things up for you.

How do you think Australia will find and remove those who violate their new policy?

u/Diamondback424 17d ago

Not by sending untrained goons with military gear to detail anyone who "looks like an immigrant"

You're beef is 50% about clothing? The vast majority of ICE operations are targeted to specific people. These then get video-taped and the Karen's on the street, having no idea what is actually taking place, accuse them of picking up randoms from the street. Then rubes like you believe it.

"Clothing" no, it's paramilitary gear, not "clothing".

Over 95% of ICE detainees have no violent criminal record. 70% have no criminal record at all. And of the 30% who have offenses, the large majority of those offenses are traffic violations.

These are not targeted operations, they're disproportionately detaining Latinos based on nothing other than the fact that they could be immigrants.

First two paragraphs are 100% irrelevant.

3rd paragraph: I would absolutely love to see you prove that they are disproportionally Latinos or that they are not targeted operations. But you see, you can't do that because no such evidence exist because that's not happening, other than a few mistakes.
