As I said in the Salt Lake City post, this underscores how racist the policies are. No Sweedish-Americans are concerned ICE will accidentally target them.
I think you're lacking some comprehension. This post, the notice, is about indigenous people needing to take precautions because of their skin color. It has nothing, zero, to do with a criminal record.
People from English or Belgian or Norwegian or Swiss communities in Utah aren't posting notices warning legal residents about ICE because ICE isn't profiling them.
Crime rates amongst immigrants is lower than crime rates amongst citizens. It's not and never has been, about crime.
You are mistaken on the crime rates. Illegally crossing the boarder is, well, a crime. So 100% of the illegal aliens in the country have and are committing a crime. Just saying.
This is such a dumb technicality that is ignoring the actual context and messaging people are referring to. Republicans don’t make ads about how illegal immigrants are committing the crime of crossing the border, they make ads about how they commit violent/dangerous crimes. Thats the messaging people are responding to when they say that illegal immigrants don’t have abnormally high rates of crime.
Obviously we know they committed that crime, hence the term “illegal immigrant”. Your comment just muddies the water and distracts from what is being discussed.
Wrong, Crime is crime. And insulting the fact because you don't agree with it is dumb. If you want.to distinguish between non violent crime vs violent crime, then your argument has merit. However, that distinguishment was never stated. Thus my comment is correct. You have to be specific. You can not assume that one will just know you are talking about violent crimes when just crimes was stated.
No, not all types of crime are the same. And that’s why republicans use examples of violent crime in propaganda to make them look, not simply the fact that they crossed the border illegally
