This is exactly how authoritarian regimes create economic stakeholders in genocide. Advertising the financial benefit of ethnic cleansing to create more popular support.

'Get those deportation numbers up and you too can profit from your neighbors being sent to a camp.'

The plan for ethnic cleansing in the US is coming from the very top down.

Three phases:

1. 'removing' undocumented people.

2. 'removing' legal migrants.

3. 'removing' citizens judged as "non assimilated".

@continuation I have a lot of privilege. Like not millionaire privilege, but middle class, highly educated, and clean up well when I am forced into public. I live in Texas, ya know the area that was Mexico until some white dudes decided they wanted slaves and Mexico said Oh hell no. I have a lot of Hispanic friends, neighbors and contractors. Here is how I’m using my privilege , and how others similarly situated may be able to help.

I’ve signed guardianship documents for green card holders whose children are American. When my landscaper said his family was self deporting, I hooked him up with my attorney and my real estate broker friend, and got the guy at the dealership to make a fair offer on the trucks.

I went to the priest at the Catholic Church that serves as a community center for Hispanic families, and gave him the names of reputable asset folks, lawyers working pro bono and my phone number if they see la migra in the neighborhood. I’m not afraid of them.

I have a fairly good amount of privilege, too, even though I'm cash poor; it is mostly because I'm housed, but also bc my skin color, age, etc. (bc this stupid rigged society). 😖

I recently used my modest amount of privilege to help one of me dearest friends and his kids stay housed (I signed on as a guarantor for his lease). In an ideal world, I would've just bought a house to let them live in, but I don't have that kind of money. I do have those kind of dreams, though!

There are a lot of small things we can do no matter our level of resources -- if only we think about it and set our minds to it, IMO. That's what mutual aid and community care are about.

We individually may not be able to do everything, but every little thing anyone does adds up.
