Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?

“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.

But not before writing him a $130 ticket for not having his papers. Cruz’s friend, who is homeless, did not have legal status and was taken away by the feds.

      Which is why we have the 4th amendment.

      Edit: dumpster fire beyond this point. I am employing a zero tolerance blocking policy for non-sequitur doomer bullshit. It doesn’t create a conversation, it just capitulates to fascism. I’ve got no room for you in my online spaces.

            I think it’s pretty clear that many in power don’t believe the constitution applies to them. That’s not doomerism, because my answer isn’t “therefore we must give up.”

              Who the fuck said anything about surrendering anything?

                  My bad. This thread has me feeling like I’m taking crazy pills.

                  Sick of the insane amount of doomer bullshit o Lemmy.

                    Totally. I was just steaming over three other threads with the top comment being typical Lemmy doomer BS.

                    I understand why it didn’t come across as a “yes, and” comment. I just find little to no value to commenting/replying to trolls where my reply probably would have made more immediate sense. I’d rather talk to you…

          More doomer bullshit.

          Just blocking this nonsense at this point. Bye!

        The 4th has been nullified by the Supreme Court. Look up the case Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.

            Laws only work if they are upheld. Burying your head in the sand and pretending like this shit isn’t happening won’t fix it.

                Read a book

                How about you look around instead and see what’s happening in America and how it’s becoming fascist.

                Or you can read that in history books in 50 years.
