This was never just about illegal immigration

@thetnholler.bsky.social

There are not 100 million foreign born people in the US; they want to deport native born citizens as well as legal immigrants: the “ government’s January 2025 Current Population Survey (CPS) shows the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal together) hit 53.3 million and 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population in January 2025”

Foreign-Born Number and Share of U.S. Population at All-Time Highs in January 2025

At 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population, the foreign-born share is higher now than at the prior peaks reached in 1890 and 1910.

@anarchademic @thetnholler.bsky.social just remember them they're all foreign on native american land with foreign customs to native american's
@anarchademic @thetnholler.bsky.social Everybody should be deported back to their homes except native americans. I'm all for it.

@Dahmonium @thetnholler.bsky.social

cool, so 1/32 of me can stay (maybe a hand?) and the rest of me gets divvied up for the lands of my euro ancestors?

Or since all of us started in africa we should All go there?

I mean I take your point, maybe, but humans are mobile and intermingle and that’s ok and we should all get to stay where we want to.

(except billionaires; they should go to mars)

@anarchademic @thetnholler.bsky.social Until one (willingly or conveniently) forgets this simple fact and starts seeing others as unwelcome and unassimilated intruders.

Maybe they should switch places with native americans and get to live in reservations. Just to let them remember who the real violent, robbing intruder is.

Migration is as old as humanity. The problem isn't with migration, but with scarcity on this planet. And the privileged all want it for themselves. And are scared to lose it
