      Mmm; I guess it isn’t a direct face eat (but my brain sort of made the assumption as he’s a conservative commentator and has been pushing how Trump’s policies would be good for American citizens).

      Basically, he’s been talking about immigrants have been taking jobs (and, apparently, actually believes that the immigrants Trump have been deporting have mostly been dangerous) and, now, is suddenly surprised that citizens like himself are getting deported, as if the xenophobia and cruelty-is-the-point of the trump administration wouldn’t fall back on U. S. citizens (or, perhaps more accurately, as if the administration would care if it did).

      But, yeah, you bring up a good point that it isn’t a direct face eating.

      They are acknowledging that the deporting of ‘violent illegal immigrants’ is actually leading to citizens being rounded up. Their face isn’t being eaten directly, but the thing they wanted is backfiring in general.

    If they are “violent criminals”, it should be quick and easy to charge them and convict them, and they are then legally deportable.

    That’s not what’s happening, is it? People, citizen or not, are simply being kidnapped and deported on a whim.

      The headline already said “conservative commentator”, you don’t have to repeat it.

      They were explicitly designed that way so that the south would always either have power, or have an absolute veto.

      That was the only terms under which they would join, hence the 3/5ths compromise.

      They’re just trying to get back what they think they deserve, starting with segregation academies, but they’ll work their way back to ‘the proper order’.

    hilarious how he has to establish his “I hate immigrants“ creds before getting to the point

    I have a certain bias towards people with such unimaginative parents to call them Erick Erick’s-son. Their household has a +20% chance of nurturing their kids to become idiots. Singling out one group of people is bad, right, but this, and all these Jr, Sr shit and calling kids after yourself should stop for good.
