Yes, I am well aware there could be flak over this, but I said it and I meant it, this is MY Rant! IVH is the place for safe ranting, so please, no flames!
How many ways has this administration attacked America’s work force? The answer is in as many ways as is possible! This little tidbit is amazing, a judge put a stop to Noem’s plan to make 300,000+ people suddenly illegal overnight. So these people have been in this country legally for years, working jobs and paying taxes. That makes their jobs vacant and that has a ripple effect on the economy.
How about all of those farm workers that plant and harvest the farms? I hear the administration say that they would get Americans (white?) to work the farms instead. So all you big city folk just better dig out your coveralls and leave the city for the farms from planting to harvest. What’s that you say? You’re a CEO of a corporation? Don’t worry, AI can do that job better and cheaper than hiring you! See, the billionaires got this all figured out, aren’t you glad?
You know and I know that whites have exorcized their “privilege” over everything for so long that it is engrained in them. (for the record, I’m white and I became aware of “privilege” just a couple decades back, I don’t really like it, but there it is.) We all know the immigrants did the work that is SO BENEATH a WHITE person to do, get down on your knees in the dirt? Too much hard labor, might strain a muscle or break a nail, heaven forbid! How long will the food last if there is no one to plant the veggies? After a couple years of limited food rotting in the fields, the stores will go empty and all that will be left of America will be chaos. That is what the billionaires want, just the chaos while they rob whatever is left.
I still haven’t heard anything about ICE and human trafficking, must be a reason they don’t want us to see the people they have kidnapped. How much is Noem involved in this human trafficking scheme? Modern day slavery by the super wealthy elites, stealing people, while destroying the commons they depend on, making any excuse to justify their crimes. I wonder how long it will take before the decent, white Americans (there are a few) realize all of the damage he has done.
Ice brutality examples.
I’m not sure but let me hazard a guess just based on common intuition. Rump and Jeffy were buddy buddy for a lot of years, Jeffy trafficked people and ran a prostitution ring and worse. Why do I think that Rump was a financial backer in this Crime ring? Always willing to help a friend for a piece of the pie, right? Which brings me to today’s ICE, kidnapping and disappearances, murder, Civil rights violators, anything but “LAW” enforcement. Is their primary mission to supply bodies to be trafficked into some slave trade, sex servitude, any rich persons fantasy? They certainly aren’t going after any real criminals, “We investigated ourselves and found that we are above God”, or they would start in the White House.
It is good to see that true law enforcement is on the side of the people!
Real law enforcement officers do NOT wear masks, they do not hide their identity, they have an official badge and a number for ID, you know exactly who they are. Criminals don’t do any of that, they hide their identity because they know they would go to jail for what they are doing. What the hell is Border Patrol carrying guns for? Why are they dress in combat gear? Why do they hide their faces? Because that is what CRIMINALS do!
Impeach, Convict, Remove!
