Still less dystopian than what the government’s actually doing lol
It’s shocking how the mental capabilities lemmy users is so painfully low that they’re literally incapable of digesting a simple meme like this. The fact that so many are taking it seriously is concerning.
Microbiom health, your welcome
Those were fun times …
they both are predators, but one is also an alien.
The predator in the films is also an alien, so 🤷♂️.
in the "newer’ predator movie, i think there was an actual predator playing one of the characters.
the other is crossbred with a pumpkin or umpa lumpa
I’m not entirely convinced Trump is from this planet as well.
True
Sorry but we ran it past a focus group and it turns out Predators hunting Aliens drives more engagement. We tried 🤷🏻
Does the President get to use the Secret Service, because that seems unfair
you mean everyday workers hunting those masked ICE pedos ?
how do we donate toward making this real ?
Let’s just call them immigrants or undocumented. “Illegal” just makes them sound like rapists and murderers.
It actually doesn’t. That’s your own bias showing through.
Nah it’s a thing, we’re making a conscious effort to not label human beings existence as “illegal.”
No one is illegal on stolen land.
also, being undocumented isn’t illegal. existing isn’t a crime.
Also, being an alien is not any sort of wrong. People going through the formal authorised pipelines are also aliens.
Somehow people have heard the term “illegal alien” and have decided that they can drop the word “illegal” and retain the same meaning.
I’m an alien
I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
yhea, is just a way to signal the world that they’re are a racist prick that will only improve the world after their funeral.
Yeah a lot of people don’t realize that being in the U.S without like asylum status or a green card, work visa, whatever. … Yeah it’s not illegal.
You can get in some trouble in the form of deportation and restricted from coming back.
But on the books. It’s not illegal.
Thats what the magas don’t get either. “Well they shouldn’t have been here illegally”
They weren’t. No one is here illegally because there are no laws against it. Just regulations.
This is also why it actually is illegal to arrest them and put them in prisons or long term camps just for being undocumented. That’s kidnapping and illegal imprisonment.
Who doesn’t get it? Hey you got to tell these government officials that they are wasting their time. I also heard that there’s a child molester in charge of a country of not child molesters. And they are speaking truth to power but are so powerless that were actually lying.
I am so confused.
We are talking about undocumented immigrants and foreigners in the U.S.
Why would you want anyone to immigrate to this country? Trump is just going to rape them
No offense, but if you don’t detain them then how can you document them properly?
They document themselves.
If they don’t, well. Who cares ?
Most places won’t hire undocumented. That actually is illegal.
If they commit crimes they get arrested and deported.
If they aren’t committing crimes then why do I care if they are here or not?
They can’t get food stamps or unemployment. They don’t drain any resource.
Most undocumented people here in the U.S are here for family reasons. Asylum. Or sometimes work related. Not nefarious reasons.
If they are criminals then they are illegal and police should nab them. Send to prison or deport.
If we made it easier to self document and allowed to stay, more people would register.
Yes it is. Holy fuck.
It’s like a parking ticket. Is everyone who had a traffic violation now an illegal person?
Oh a parking ticket, like you get when you’re parking illegally? https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01986
Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person. It’s not even a felony for heavens sake.
Right so you would agree that being undocumented is in fact illegal?
Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn’t make the person illegal or even a felon?
nope, it’s a civil violation, not a crime.
but what do Americans care about facts.
The word illegal does not imply civil versus criminal you dumb fuck. Also, something being illegal does not even imply that its immoral. But hey what does anyone care about facts nowadays.
Dude, please, seriously, chill.
I do not wish to go down to your level and start yelling like a toddler who shat my pants.
You can’t yell on the internet you little bitch. And if you start insulting people don’t be surprised if they insult you back. You little bitch. Give your balls a tug.
sigh, are you sure you need to be this angry? feel free to hurt yourself with that high blood pressure. seriously chill, you’re the one who began insulting.
No one is illegal. period… you can do illegal stuff, but illegal is not something you are. Not only because of civil violations/misdemeanor… but because “illegal” isn’t a personal trait.
If “being” for some people is an illegal act, that is an apartheid dystopian nightmare.
and yes, I’ll say the United States has immigration apartheid. immigrants have a different set of laws, courts, and punishments for crimes. that’s a form of apartheid.
If an undocumented is caught speeding, they can get deported, while a citizen just gets a fine.
other counties are even granting immigrants voting rights, while here they are practically treated as subhuman cheap labor.
Love it but let’s just call them immigrants?
It wouldn’t be a reference to the film then. I don’t think it’s meant to be disparaging.
Wouldn’t it still check out?
I recall the term “illegal aliens” so I believe “alien” broadly refers to non-citizens legal or not.
Predators vs Illegal Aliens? Lol
I do find it funny that we’re all up in arms about people being called illegal immigrants in the US but nobody seems to notice that MOST of the world has closed borders, maximum stay durations for non-residents, etc.
I will preface the rest of the comment with the following disclaimer: While I do believe in immigration controls, I AM NOT TRYING TO JUSTIFY ICE.
Obviously what ICE is doing is fucked up on a level of its’ own and nobody should be forcefully deported without due process EVER, much less to a concentration camp in a random ass country, but at the same time, I think we can still differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants? And legally speaking, it’s got nothing to do with race. The right wants you to think that latinos == illegal immigrants == criminals whereas there are plenty of white illegal immigrants (I’ve had a family member migrate to the US a long time ago and overstay their welcome and we’re literally mayo colored) and most latinos are legal immigrants and most illegal immigrants aren’t criminals either.
Either “illegal immigrants” needs to lose its negative and racial connotations, or there needs to be another term for people who are in the country illegally, but aren’t actually actively committing crimes or anything, because such people will always exist, and there should be clear cut paths for residency for them, as well as humane paths to exit the country if they don’t want to become permanent residents or aren’t eligible for some reason. And the distinction between legal and illegal/undocumented immigrants needs to exist because… There are records about the former, they pay taxes, etc, but usually the latter don’t pay taxes. They for sure don’t in my country, they’re hired without a contract and paid in cash. They aren’t part of censuses. They don’t receive benefits they should be eligible to if they were here legally.
I’m not talking about refugees either, I’m talking about people who come here for work, get paid near minimum wage for hard work that a citizen/resident would get paid at least twice as much for and the employer would have to pay taxes for. They get a raw deal themselves, they mess up the labor market for everyone else (hire an Estonian for 2000€ a month contractual monthly wage, he only gets ~1660 and you have to pay a total of 2676 (because taxes exist on both sides of the employment contract) OR hire an undocumented Ukrainian, pay him 800-1000€ and give him and 3 of his mates an apartment to live in that you pay a total of 500€ a month for). I used Ukrainians for the example not because of war refugees, but because at least before the war, I knew about more than one small-time employer using undocumented Ukrainian laborers.
There absolutely are issues that come from illegal immigration and just ignoring their existence doesn’t help anyone. Instead the goal should be to help them become legal immigrants. And as much as it sucks, fully open borders would suck for any moderately wealthy country. Capitalists are gonna capitalist and if you suddenly increase a country’s workforce by a huge amount, well, salaries for everyone are going down. Immigration controls are, in fact, kind of an artificial scarcity on the workforce. Obviously skilled labor from abroad is beneficial for an economy, particularly experts that are hard to train, but you also don’t want to suddenly increase your workforce by 10% a year or something because of open borders. Salaries for everyone will go down FAST.
Wish ya werent so fuckin awkward, bud
Would it be in bad taste if I, an american citizen since birth, dressed up as mexican and helped?
say somthimg bad about trump automaticlly revokes your citzenship thanks to peter “pervert” thiel
Nazi Holocaust supporters share this type of stupidity…
I’m not currently a Nazi Holocaust supporter but I’m thinking about picking up some literature. Could you please lead me to your area’s facilities.
The meme drag pedophiles so hard, you barely notice that it dehumanizes refugees to the same degree.
I agree, this is basically an attack at many individuals.
Atleast, the meme mentions “sex offenders” which is more accurate than pedophilia.
