Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.
None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp
I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire
Rumi
دی شیخ با چراغ همی گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

What do you mean by foreign-born residents? Plenty of Americans are “foreign-born residents”
How do you figure 50% suppression by the end of the year?
People with Visas, permanent residents and immigrants. The administration’s argument for the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil explicitly states that his residency rights are void since “we didn’t know he was a Terrorist at the time”. You can extend that argument to literally any foreign born individual.
50% is napkin projection based on 20% suppression every three months (0.803). Obviously it makes a lot of assumptions but the crackdowns haven’t slowed yet, much less plateaued. I mentioned it to show how tenuous opposition can get even for “safe” demographics.
The administration is already posturing for this suppression: labeling vague groups like antifa as terrorists, threatening funding for universities fostering protests, statements about “illegal protests”, invoking the Alien Enemies Act, etc… It’s not a huge leap to extrapolate to how sweeping these measures will be.
I’m trying to tell you many “foreign born residents” are actually US citizens.
Besides, your assumption is very hypothetical and not rooted in reality.
I understand, I’m trying to communicate how that isn’t as big of a protection as it seems.
The very same Alien Enemies Act sent US citizens of Japanese decent to interment camps. That’s not a hypothetical, it’s a line that has already been crossed.
Apparently they were sent to internment camps using other temporary powers enacted during the war, not that precise one.
Those powers derive from the act, it gives that wartime authority. If you read the official proclamation Trump invented a “war” on gangs to use the same powers.
You can read Roosevelt’s proclamation here, it’s basically the same document shifted around to target Venezuelans.
We had d3clared war on japan before the internments. We aren’t in a declared war with Hamas or Palestine @alkbch There are no ‘palestinian enemy aliens’, but there IS a US code about foreigners on visa OR US CITIZENS interfering with or attempting to do their own diplomacy with other nations. Somewhere down my tl I posted info on that.

Unfortunately an H1(B) visa is not citizenship. It’s temporary residency that IS revocable. @alkbch @stickly
