General Discussion

I grew up in a neighborhood with Italian and Japanese immigrants. My cousins are half Sicilian, with dark skin, black hair and brown eyes. My thought when all this deportation BS started was, would they be targeted? Would the kids and grandkids of the lovely people I was surrounded by in my youth be detained because they "looked foreign?" We received many of the refugees from Southeast Asia after Vietnam. There's a large Pacific Islander population, who are either American citizens or American nationals depending on their island of origin, but all 100% legal. They've been harassed by ICE. Our Indigenous neighbors have been detained. It was never about immigration, but ethnic cleansing of anyone not lily-white.
