      I’m really sorry for all the people that did try to stop this, and for the people that couldn’t fit whatever reason. But the idiots that caused it? I really hope they suffer enough to learn at least a bit.

        They will not.

        It’s like everyone forgot COVID-19. The administration’s response and almost daily scandal during that barely moved the political needle, and people are even more siloed in now… I honestly don’t know what it would take.

          They need a concept of prejudice that’s simplistic (as in singular) in nature with with a tangible body of people or person/s to blame. It would also need to tie into beliefs that they heard or taught while growing up.

          Trying to get them to understand (put two and two together) the different facets of a conspiracy or something that is rigged tends to lose them when there is more than one thing at fault.

    Bullshit. They want those workers scared that they’ll be deported because being afraid of that will keep their wages low and keep them compliant. This is good for the larger construction companies who employ those workers.

    I’m going to make a prediction. If I’m wrong then I’ll admit it. I think they’re going to do one wave of very loud deportations, quietly abandon it, and relax the borders briefly to fill the spots that were left by that wave. Just enough to scare the absolute shit out of migrant workers into working, coming home, not putting their kids in school, and not peeking their heads out until it’s time to make agriculture and construction companies money.

    This is drunk speculation.
