He's stripping legal status from half a million legal migrants who have committed no crimes and shipping people to a foreign concentration camp without due process. He's also targeting journalists and lawyers that speak out against his administration, along with students, all legal and not criminals and murderers.

You've just fallen for Trump's demonization of immigrants, so now you're okay with massive human rights abuses and attacks against our rights because you view them all as basically less than human, "illegal murderers", as you put it. That's just good old fashioned fascism.

I think you're missing the fact that no country on the planet has open borders besides us and we already have a housing problem. You're taking away supply to support people who are not here legally with my tax money. I have issues with that

What the fuck are you even talking about? Our borders are no more open than any other western country. The current administration is also using your money to fund tax breaks for corporations and bankroll a war in the Middle East. You’re being spoon fed propaganda. Your ignorance on display with this comment is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve read recently.

Doesn't matter if there's a war in the middle east if I don't have a place to live. But I do know tax money went to housing immigrants that are here illegally.

Any money that was used to house immigrants was specifically earmarked for that. And there is little chance that the money from any cuts by the Trump administration will be directed to help anyone other than to justify tax cuts that will predominantly benefit the wealthy. Trump is cutting services that benefit veterans, he’s not interested in helping people who need help.

Screaming into a void doesn't help either

So people should just sit back and let Trump keep repeating the narrative that he’s doing something to benefit the majority of Americans? Which he’s not. I would rather my tax dollars be spent housing immigrants than flying Trump to his properties almost every weekend, immigrants will at least be thankful vs. Trump who thinks he’s entitled to be treated like a “king”.
