    I thought part of the whole anti-immigrant argument was they are living off the government.

    Isn’t holding them for an undetermined amount of time exactly that, but with more steps?

      Well you see, American propaganda has been focusing on racism and xenophobia while having a deep culture of punishment and using wealth as a moral litmus.

      They’re ok with this because it’s punishing people who’s crimes include not being born white in the US or having enough wealth to insulate from consequences.

      Public outcry only peaked because white people were killed for exercising their rights, too many are still ok with what’s going on when its happening to immigrants.
