    And yet the Canadian government still hasn’t put out any warnings not to travel to the Fascist States of America.

    Olvera — a third-generation American whose family immigrated from Mexico — said he typically votes Democrat but voted for Trump in November because he wanted a change. Now he appears to be questioning that decision.

    As bad as I genuinely feel for these people, are you fucking kidding me.

      These stories just boggle my mind. There was one of a woman who had an illegal immigrant as a husband. She still supports Trump even after he had been detained and she doesn’t even know where he is and if she will ever see him again 🤨😳

    Why on earth are Canadians STILL in the States? Get out of there! Like, WTF are you doing? You are in a HOSTILE country, and you will not have a good time there.

      Most of the people I know that are still going down there tend to be wealthier. I think it’s something about them thinking the money will protect them?

      I have a canadian-salvadoran coworker who just went down there to visit family, like are you fucking insane.

        to visit family

        People will go through a lot to be with family, it doesn’t really matter how dangerous crossing the border is if that’s the only way you’ll see them again.

      Unfortunately some of us have family there, and while it’s easy to think “well fuck it I won’t go visit”, it’s not always so easy. Family gets sick, dies, etc.

        I totally get that, but it’s still a massive risk. Going to see your sick family member might mean you’ll be held in a detention center. Is it really worth it?

            Would you rather pop die alone in the hospital knowing that you’re in a concentration camp? Come on man, think.

            They are treating ordinary Canadian citizens as criminals. It will be a risk. And if you’re willing to take that risk, you have to be willing to take the consequences that are pretty much well known at this point.

                I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, but I can’t imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.

                You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.

                Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn’t want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn’t a movie.

    We need to drop the Canadian visits down 60% further to nearly zero. Only diplomats with immunity should go.

      If they can cancel a green card at a moment’s notice I wouldn’t trust them not to cancel diplomatic immunity the same way.

    It’s bad here and getting worse, y’all. Don’t come, it’s not worth the risk, treat us as the guy in the zombie movie who was hiding the bite and is now showing the signs of turning.

    I saw that they are not only deputizing the proud boys but they are now giving some an honorary kudos Juris Doctorate, and fast lining them into judges to deport immigrants.

        Nazis don’t use science. They make up propoganda to appeal to the baser instincts of easily inflamed and manipulatable psyche’s to enact violence and instill fear in the public. The paradox of intolerance is in argument alone, as after the instigating act of violence from the opressor - the resulting violence is self defense. This is what fascists like, because they are quick to anger and violence. They lie in wait to shed blood. Their haughty eyes seek opportunity to sew more discord in peaceful communities. They lie in order to facilitate more of their own ways.

          you realize that fascists are rejoicing whenever their alleged enemies make the unfounded claim that fascism is a result of intellectual disability?

          degenerate is a term that only race scientists use unironically
