Know how we know these comments are grounded in white supremacy—not national security?

Right now there are 600,000+ undocumented immigrants in America from Canada & Europe—when was the last time you heard MAGA call for a northern border wall or travel ban from Europe?🤔

That’s the complexion for protection. An ask again to demand Dems pass DACA protections before Jan 3. Do not leave DACA’s fate to MAGA extremists: https://bit.ly/3YedKtj

We need a pathway to citizenship now!

@QasimRashid I've often wondered about the question of #white #undocumented #immigrants. Where does one find the #statistics on this?

@QasimRashid demand????? They can’t pass without 10 republicans signing on, unless the filibuster is set aside, but Joe Coal and Kirsten Cinematicdramaqueen won’t allow it.

@QasimRashid Blackburn was a home ec teacher b4 going to congress. I don't expect much from her racist southern mind.

@UWSinGA @QasimRashid She didn’t teach. She was a hair stylist, dressed mannequins and was a “Stylist”. Her ads were on the back of toilet doors in the 90’s.
She has a Home Ec degree from MS State. Whatever that means.

@QasimRashid

When 1% of the entire population of Ireland is in this country illegally, and no one cares, that is the first clue that it's not about what's illegal, but about what is brown.

@QasimRashid Marsha. Unfortunately she is my Senator. Ugh. She campaigned here (TN) on a platform of fear only. Marsha produced and nonstop played her ad of drum-beatingly loud, military-like men marching. Supposedly the clips were legit videos of militant immigrant marchers moving to cross our southern borders. Oh my, Fear!!! All Fake. But magas lapped it up. They voted for the dolt.

If any wall should be built, it's the one between Church and State

@QasimRashid: There have been numerous cases of ICE deporting busloads of immigrants to Ireland, FWIW. It's just nowadays usually done quietly, and the American racist press doesn't tend to care. Irish press sometimes does.

@QasimRashid Europeans in the country illegally are also deported. There’s just not as many of them so it isn’t as visible. There’s no need for a “wall” on the northern border because that isn’t where tens to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing into the country every year. If you fall and scrape your knee, do you put a bandage on your arm?

@BradJFAK @QasimRashid Walls overall does not work—not historically (Great Wall of China 🇨🇳 & Great Wall of Benin in Nigeria 🇳🇬), not in fantasy (Ice Wall in Game of Thrones & Helms Deep wall in Lord of the Rings) & not in science fiction (Wakanda cloak wall in Avengers Infinity War & Jerusalem Wall in World War Z).

I believe the best option is to station the national guard (with policing powers), & border patrol can assess anyone detained.

Show threadBradley_JFDec 19, 2022
@darnell @QasimRashid Agree and disagree. The "wall" isn't just a physical barrier. It's cameras, IR cameras, motion detection devices, etc. The actual barrier is intended to just slow people down enough to give humans time to notice and arrive. I think we should have the National Guard on the southern border, but I also think we should be turning more people back or detaining them in a single area. The numbers are just too high. It's beyond reasonable now.
