If you can’t handle being on the losing side, you should have just been Mexican.

      This is an idiot who’s offended that someone is cheering for the opposing country when his country is losing. There’s no comment on immigration you snowflake.

        No it’s someone that understands Mexico is better at soccer than the USA and one drunk idiot doesn’t represent a nation. At least not that idiot.

          Idk man, as an American, he seems like an exemplary representative of the current state of our nation.

          Embarrassing, violent, racist, incompetent and inept. Really nailed it there.

            Turn off the news, talk to your neighbor, things aren’t perfect, but we are far from gestapo.

              What else would you call masked and unidentified officers abducting people with no warrant and sending them to concentration camps? I’m no historical scholar, but that seems an awful lot like gestapo to my eye.

                How are you supposed to get a warrant for a person you can’t even prove is who they say they are?

                And I’m pretty sure the gestapo had uniforms.

                Further, if someone is actively avoiding law enforcement, wouldn’t you think it would make sense to not look like law enforcement?

                Also, where are you supposed to send a criminal that is awaiting deportation?

                I understand it doesn’t feel good, but I know plenty of people that followed the process, and obtained citizenship legally, and you are all saying “fuck that, let’s have criminals do whatever they want” because it doesn’t feel good.

                By your logic, you would speed down the road in your car, and when you got caught, it’s not fair because the cop was in an unmarked car, and wasn’t specifically looking for you.

                Or just maybe you made the choice to speed, so you have to pay the consequences if you get caught?

                  How are you supposed to get a warrant for a person you can’t even prove is who they say they are?

                  The usual way. It’s not hard.

                  Further, if someone is actively avoiding law enforcement, wouldn’t you think it would make sense to not look like law enforcement?

                  Yes, much better to just look like anonymous armed kidnappers. The downside is that actual anonymous armed kidnappers can pretend to be undercover ICE agents, which has already happened multiple times.

                  Also, where are you supposed to send a criminal that is awaiting deportation?

                  A regular jail, where they have access to a lawyer and the other protections of due process enshrined in our most fundamental laws.

                  I understand it doesn’t feel good, but I know plenty of people that followed the process, and obtained citizenship legally, and you are all saying “fuck that, let’s have criminals do whatever they want” because it doesn’t feel good.

                  That might have a shred of validity if they weren’t also kidnapping people who were following the legal process and attending their immigration hearings. Not to mention kidnapping actual citizens. And you all are saying “Fuck that, if your skin is brown you’re going down.”

                  No one is saying for criminals to do whatever they want. We just want you lot to acknowledge that the law of the land ensures due process to everyone, not just citizens.

                  By your logic, you would speed down the road in your car, and when you got caught, it’s not fair because the cop was in an unmarked car, and wasn’t specifically looking for you.

                  These people aren’t being arrested mid-crime, they’re kidnapping them from their homes, off the street, at their jobs, and again, at their legal immigration hearings. And there are multiple accounts of mistaken identity, or no specific target at all. Your analogy isn’t applicable.

                  It’s much more like a man in street clothes and an unmarked car who refuses to identify themselves, kidnapping me at gunpoint as I get into my car because it’s a yellow sports car and yellow sports cars are statistically more likely to speed. Yeah, that’s not fair.

                  Or just maybe you made the choice to speed, so you have to pay the consequences if you get caught?

                  And when you make the choice of wiping your ass with the 14th amendment, you have to pay the consequence of real patriots calling you a fascist bootlicker.

      I know one shouldn’t feed trolls, but I’m bored, so here we go.

      Your first statement is kind of just nuts. “Ah yes people are leaving Mexico to come to America just because America is better at soccer” lol

      Your second statement immediately jumps to racism. You didn’t refer to Mexicans at all. You referred to cartel members on cocaine…

      As for “America Bad” I should let you know that when people say our government is fascist or committing atrocities, it’s different than saying America isn’t a rich nation that can afford better quality of life for some of its populace.

      I’m a straight white university student. My quality of life is pretty good, and I’ll be largely unaffected by our government’s actions (until I get shot by a cop at a protest of course). America isn’t bad because it’s a horrible place to live, it’s bad because it’s run by fascist unfeeling idiots and full of racist unfeeling idiots (such as yourself) who support the fascist ones and ignore/delight in the pain of others.

      When people stop trying to enter the country at risk of jail or death, I’ll believe “America Bad”.

      Once all of the decent people in America are overrun by fascists and their enablers and the stench of death and doom is unavoidable, nobody will want to enter this country.

      We’re well on our way toward that point already.

        That’s why people are afraid to be deported?

        Like I get America isn’t without its problems, but if it’s so terrible, why is everyone trying to come here?

          Many seeking asylum were coming for the promise of a stable federal government that operates under the rule of law (instead of working hand-in-glove with cartels) and that won’t disappear their family members, torture, or murder them like they encountered in their home countries.

          They were coming for the promise of America, a promise that has been broken, battered, and pissed on at this point.

          What do you think they came here for? ICE raids and Alligator Alcatraz?

      Hey asswipe, people are trying to enter Russia, Dubai, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia to make money. And, yes they risk slavery, jail, or death just like the US.

      Does that make those country good now?

      Just because people use their best options available doesn’t make the country they’re immigrating great.

      Learn some history.
