It feels very wrong. And in the ideal world there wouldn’t be any borders, but I find it hard to put in to words why it’s bad in the here and now.
(those deemed “undesirable” enough to get deported anyway) hail from nations outside the imperial core
People underestimate how often the US deports Brits, Britain deports Yanks, etc.
People enjoy living in certain place. Mr Racism says “No, you can’t live here”
“But Mr. Racism, I live here already, I have family, friends and a job, no criminal records here nor in my home country, I’m a good person, why can’t I live where I choose?”
“First of all, you poor and brown, and by destroying your life like this I terrorize the rest of the people in your same situation, making it easy for employers to exploit you and abuse you given they can call me any time some of you poors don’t want to be exploited and abused”
“Ah, I understand, at least I hope people calling themselves woke aren’t ok with this and transmit it to anyone asking ‘What’s wrong with destroying lives and terrorizing poor people?’”
I put some extra condescension just for you baybe :heart-sickle:
borders bad
people immigrate for different reasons, and it’s possible that that person’s motivation is True Love, so if you deport that you’re standing in the way of True Love and that’s bad
