2 years ago by BrikoX to c/globalnews
Brazil's government decried the US after dozens of deportees arrived on a plane in handcuffs. The Brazilian justice minister called it a "blatant disrespect" of their rights.

Colombia rightfully told the US planes to turn around and go home.
That link seems to suggest they then immediately caved and are now doing the opposite. Also, why would it be right to not let your own citizens back into the country after they get sent home? What, they're supposed to say we don't want them just put them into ghettos I guess?
The big issue here is they're being treated as criminals who committed violent crimes and it's a disgusting sight for everyone involved except racists. A lot of these people are innocent people, some who have been here for over 15-20 years and have entire lives and families in the US.
That's why most of the talks here were around Colombia sending their Presidential plane to pick up their citizens. They weren't rejecting the people, they were rejecting the way in which it was done.
Mexico is also doing similar things rejecting military aircraft, but still allowing the deliver of Undocumented immigrants. Sheinbaum has also been preaching a lot on welcoming everyone home, most of LATAM has had the same perspective from what I've read and seen.
The issue with this is, they are criminals. Entering the country without proper documentation or overstaying a visa is a crime. Columbia and Brazil can complain all they want about how they are being treated as criminals, it doesn’t change the fact that they are.
We are all guilty of crimes at some point. Maybe speeding, or parking somewhere without permission, driving when you may be intoxicated, taking some office supplies home, not noticing that your license plate had expired, a million other things.
The point is that any one of us could be arrested and convicted if the authorities decided it was worth their while to.
You are in favor of these people being deported without even judicial review, because you are in no danger of being harmed by the government's actions. Yet.
The issue with this is, they are people. Entering the country without proper documentations or overstaying a visa does not change that. The US can complain all it wants about the rest of the world wanting them to treat these people with basic dignity, it doesn't change the fact they deserve their basic dignity.
I AGREE that overstaying your Visa is a Crime! UNLESS You're Rich in which case you're allowed to Buy the Presidency even if you overstay your Visa!
They changed/updated the article because events changed in between the time it was posted and you reading it. The link has the original headline in it.
I'm not sure i like that. It kind of rewrites history in a way.
Yeah, I keep reading about the rejections and thinking about how many people might have lived if the rest of the world had just accepted the deported Jews from Germany.
I think taking people who need a place to be is a primary step. You can do both.
This is going to have such long lasting impact
Not to forget Xi. This doesnt happen without Pooh bear. They have played US for absolute fools.
Don't worry too much over it. Many of us understand it's only your president deciding on your behalf. Bridges can be rebuilt when you get a decent person in office. We depend too much on each other to let one single man with a stupid agenda break us apart. Funnily enough, it seems Trump is uniting everyone below the border. I don't think he projected that far into the consequences.
But then every 4 years there's basically the risk of shit hitting the fan again. Any agreement or treaty or deal can be just dropped if the next guy doesn't like it. Very little incentive for anyone to agree to anything in that case.
It’s not just the president. Biden deported more people than trump did in his first term, Obama deported more than any president before him. The US empire continues regardless of who is in power. The only thing that changes is whether the fox smiles before he kills you or the wolf bares its teeth.
I was in a similar situation once and I sincerely appreciate your sympathy. The hostility is not worth it and I wish everyone crossing the border would have that vividly in mind going in. It's easy to prioritize higher wages and a slightly more stable future for your children with complete disregard of your treatment. To a kid, that leaves a big mark. I have mine.
Always a good idea to separate trump supporters from the normal americans who hate this stuff as much as the people it happens to.
Even with fascism having an uptick, most people hate this shit.
most people hate this shit.
Apparently, thats very much not true. Around 22% of Americans hate this shit, everyone else is too young or too sick/old to have an opinion, or really loves this shit, can't get enough of it.
At least a few percent of voters were purged, possibly amounting to enough to have flipped the results of the EC.
I'm glad to be part of that 22%.
America can rot in hell for all I care at this point
Fuck that noise. I'm going down swinging at the fascist fucks to protect not only myself, but also the idiots who voted for them.
They may have elected monsters, but that doesn't mean they don't need protection from those same monsters.
It's natural selection. If they don't learn that their actions have consequences, they'll never change
Even with fascism having an uptick, most people hate this shit.
Plenty to hate it, but still not enough to act to keep it from happening, please continue to roast us until these fuckwhits can't win an election...assuming we get more of those that are real
Just saying, it actually happened under Biden too:
And Obama, and would've happened under Harris. Democrats are not pro-immigration and I don't think they've ever been in my working memory. I had family deported under Obama and the treatment was awfully degrading on so many levels. And yet this level of anti-immigration coming from Trumplethinskin is somehow worse. Fuck the dude.
It sucks because it's performative.
"Look at me being mean to these poor people".
Weird how the population is fleeing in masse from such a utopia.
I uh, think they were talking about Brazil... Also it's not exactly novel that governments care more about how other countries treat their citizens than they do about how they treat their citizens.
Undocumented immigration is not a felony, not even a misdemeanor. It's a civil infraction, equivalent in severity to a traffic ticket.
