The canary has been screaming its lungs out since Bill Clinton introduced his racist anti-immigrant bill in 1997, but both Republicans and Democrats have not only ignored its cries, but hastened its situation. Both parties have created this. Don’t think this won’t affect us all.
It was never about immigration. I live in South Dakota, and I’ve heard stories of Native American people being questioned. “I’m just against illegal immigration” was always a racist dogwhistle.
Several Navajo in Arizona got swept up by ICE because they “looked illegal”. Trump has also floated the idea that Native Americans don’t have citizenship.
Ugh, bloody natives! Why don’t they just go back to their own country?
