raids to deport immagrants?
Hello Fascism.. Racist pigs, bullies at the behest of bigger bullies. Arrrgh.



HYRUM - If only for a few minutes, Maria felt like an ''illegal alien'' in her homeland - the United States of America. She thought she was going on break from her job at the Swift & Co. meat processing plant here on Tuesday, but instead she and others were forced to stand in a line by U.S. immigration agents. Non-Latinos and people with lighter skin were plucked out of line and given blue bracelets.The rest, mostly Latinos with brown skin, waited until they were ''cleared'' or arrested by ''la migra,'' the popular name in Spanish for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), employees said.''I was in the line because of the color of my skin,'' she said, her voice shaking.

''They're discriminating against me. I'm from the United States, and I didn't even get a blue bracelet.''

1. The real racist pigs are the government employees who turn a blind eye....

to Hispanics who are here illegally because Billy Jo Plantowner wants to save a buck. The real bullies are the low lives who scream racism every time someone speaks against the continued exploitation of Hispanic people who let through the door illegally only to be worked like dogs for little pay. :mad:

Pigs fucking rich greedy ass pigs. Bullies and pigs and bystanders who fail to speak out against what bullies and pigs do that's what corporate empire is made of.

3. I'd really like to see some of them deported (sans cash)
Like the landscaping guy in the shiny new Pick-up who gets the day laborors near my house. I remember a friend who had a hell of a time pulling long hours and alot of sweat owning such a company.

This guy by my place appears to be in the same line of business, but something tells me is not putting in the sweat that my friend did and in the end I'm really doubting he takes a 'fair cut' of the proceeds compared to the guys doing the actual toil.

4. I'd like to see
The top 4 percent of the wealthiest familes (the entire ruling class) deported,in thier entirety to the moon with no protective gear or shelter, sans cash and assests.
And next the wealthy exploiters under them deported to barren islands dropped off like trash, left there with no food, shelter or anything, and of course sans cash and assets, waiting shivering for nightfall for the predators to eat them..
