The current administration went to the Supreme Court and got a ruling in their favor that the US can deport people to countries that they did not originally come from
We are currently deporting people who have work permits for this country.
So now people who got work permits to be here could be put in a country where they did not originate from?
When the manure hits the Westinghouse this fall, and we cannot bring our crops in because we do not have the immigrant workers we depend on to bring in the crops are our leaders going to do a quick mind change again and suddenly want to offer people in other countries work permits for the US??
Just how many people do they think will take them up on that??

(3,493 posts)I just cannot accept that all of them are that freaking stupid. Some of the shit they are doing is OBVIOUSLY going to have disastrous and irreversible consequences that will stretch FAR, FAR into the future, even beyond their deaths. The legacy they seem to want to leave behind is complete destruction of American democracy. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am just a housewife in Texas who has been right about so many things that I am scared to death at the evidence I am seeing that destruction is the plan.

(54 posts)The court gave a nod with a grin,
"Deport them!"though not from their kin.
Work permits ignored,
While logic is floored,
Will crops rot while politics spin?
They send folks away in disgrace,
To lands theyve not seen, no known place.
With fields left to die,
And no one asks why
Just power wrapped up in a case.

(6,527 posts)Nobody has the fucking courage to protect our people in the fields, at their jobs, or on the streets in their neighborhood. Things are now beginning to happen organically. If youre one of our so-called leaders, but still unwilling to help, please, at least stay out of the way., better yet, take a clue from those in office who are fighting the good fight and act like them.

This is both insane, cruel and righties on the SCOTUS should be ashamed. They'd have Jesus picked up if he walked down our streets and send him to El Salvador.
