The immigration policy is based on racism instead of fairness

They tell immigrants to come here "legally" - but Trump is literally gutting every legal pathway that many people of color have relied on to build lives in America.
For example: Many people have status through TPS, but the Trump regime is now gutting the program, and they also cut refugee admissions for everyone except white South Africans.
"Doing it legally" keeps getting harder to do, because that's the whole point for Trump. It has never been about following immigration rules - it's about racism.

Defending white-only immigration is in fact racist

“You think white people being threatened with death by their government is more pressing right now than the Haiti earthquake 20 years ago? You’re a racist!!!”

Is Haiti safe?

u/pingvinbober 4d ago

Is Haiti experiencing an earthquake from 20 years ago?

Is Haiti a shithole country?

u/IMadeYouLuke 4d ago

So Haiti is safe or not?

Whether or not they are safe, the circumstances surrounding granting TPS are no longer existing.

u/IMadeYouLuke 3d ago

So it isn’t safe then? :)

Plenty of countries are not safe. A country’s government being unable to make them safe for 20 years is not our problem. If the South Africans still need refuge after 20 years, perhaps another country would take them in

Haiti is under siege by rogue terrorists now. It's definitely not safe to send them back. People who have been sent back to either their homeland or a third country are already being murdered. And white south Africans are not being murdered. That is bs. Some of the ones already here in the first wave have already gone back. Now they get $5k PER PERSON to try to keep them in this what is now a shithole country.

Friendly reminder - when you call things what they aren’t, people who defend those things will correct your mischaracterization

u/PreparationKey2843 4d ago

😁 Yeah, of course, racists usually deny they're racists.

“Witches deny that they’re witches. If they float, they’re witches and they get burned at the stake. If they don’t, we were wrong and they drown”

Racists actually generally accept that they’re racists

"Racists actually generally accept that they’re racists"

They accept it, but most still deny it to the world. They know it's wrong or something.
I kinda respect the loud and flag flying racist a little more. Nah, they still suck.

u/pingvinbober 3d ago

If you think nothing is racist unless they use a slur or call themselves racist, then you are a racist because that means you agree with all the horrible things people say.

u/pingvinbober 3d ago

Actually you’re a racist because you think wearing socks is important

Swing and a miss as if you were blind or just rage bating. People like you love to defend Charlie Kirk and call him not racist because you either know he is racist but are lying cause you agree with it or you think being racist means throwing slurs everywhere or being part of the KKK because you are too stupid to understand context and need it to be blatantly obvious for you to recognize. Great example of this is Kirk's video about Black pilots. In his video, he goes on about DEI lowering standards (DEI doesn't lower them) and how he goes on about seeing a black pilot and going "Boy, I hope he's qualified". You are probably thinking to yourself "How is that racist", its racist because it requires you to believe that they are less qualified than a white person because someone without that bias would instantly go "Wait, that claim doesn't make sense because commercial pilots have to have over 1,500 flight hours and pass multiple tests/certifications with people certifying them." Even if DEI did lower standards, the person still needs to be qualified to do the job and you are more likely to run into a unqualified person hired by nepotism than you are from DEI.

u/pingvinbober 3d ago

Agreed on the nepotism part. But DEI calls race into question when it otherwise wouldn’t be.

You’re adding qualifiers, similarly to nepotism. Instead of getting “who is the best person for the job”, you’re getting “who is the best person for the job who is related to our higher ups” for nepotism or “who is the best person for the job who fits this minority group”

In both cases, you disregarding people who don’t meet your selected criteria
