MODERATORS
to be fair, they do not use the word “surprise” once in the article, “baffled” and “alarmed” are much more precise terms they accurately use, and undocumented migrants cannot vote.
tldr, this isn’t really a leopards ate my face situation. (not saying that’s your point but just in case anyone gets the wrong impression and starts clowning on these poor guys.)
It's standard fascist procedure. Always attack the weakest perceived out group first. Before going for the larger ones.
I am not a socialist, trade unionist, or a Jew, so I don't see any problems here.
Your comment having 88 upvotes kinda jumped out at me.
I'm sure you're aware, but some people seem confused, so I'm going to post a link here to the poem that is being referenced above.
How dark are you in the browness scale? /s

Chinese exclusion act part 2. Sigh.
Should be pretty easy for any Chinese citizen to claim refugee status, no? I mean basically every Chinese citizen is being persecuted by their government.
Under international law, the US can't deport someone who is pending refugee status
If indeed focused on immigrants of Chinese descent, Trump’s deportation policies are likely to be challenged legally as a blatant example of racial profiling.
Of course this will happen. It is racist, but that's fine with them.
reason 116 i voted against trump; messing with my local Chinese buffet
US economy gonna instantly contract 5% if all the hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurants have to shut down when their workers get deported
Add the contraction from deporting all South and Central Americans (we'll see if only those without papers or all).
Still actually seems trivial compared to the incoming Tariffs and mass industry deregulation.
If only it were just hole in the wall places..
The local higher end places like sushi and hibachi joints are also staffed almost entirely by Chinese migrants around me. One of the places I worked for a while even had a weird arrangement to get people into the country, probably illegally (they didn’t stay with the company for more than a month before moving on to a bigger city, so I’m sure this was some sort of illegal immigration operation.. none of my business.)

I'm not racist or nothing, but the biggest threat to this country is the white man. It makes me ashamed to share genetics with these troglodytes.
The biggest threat to our country are sweeping generalizations of entire races, classes and creeds.
and not enough dead billionaires.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
That's still racist
It’s not racist for @gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world to make this statement when viewed through the framework of critical race theory. This perspective emphasizes that “white” has never been a fixed racial category but rather a social construct tied to the maintenance of white supremacist power structures. As outlined in this article, “whiteness” functions as an ideology rather than a biological or ethnic identity.
Example: Throughout U.S. history, groups such as Italians, Irish, and Jewish people were excluded from “whiteness” before being gradually assimilated into the category. This shifting definition of “whiteness” underscores its role in reinforcing systemic hierarchies, as discussed here.
edit: My only qualm with their comment is the “sharing genetics” part, which, as discussed above, isn’t a real thing.
Great read, thanks for sharing, and totally agree
