Vice President JD Vance has advocated for ramping up ICE deportations with door-to-door operations, as tensions over immigration enforcement intensify following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis
The debate over US immigration enforcement has heated up in the wake of JD Vance's recent comments advocating for 'door-to-door' ICE checks - with one social media user comparing the measure to '1930's Germany'.

"I think if we're to see those deportation numbers ramp up as we get more and more people online working for ICE going from door-to-door making sure if you're an illegal alien you're going to have to get out of this country and if you want to comeback apply through the proper channels."
One X user vocally opposed Vance's 'door-to-door' reference, comparing it to '1930's Germany' in a scathing criticism. They wrote: "'Door to door?' The Fourth Amendment still exists. This is starting to look disturbingly like Germany in the 1930s."

(5,048 posts)in which one third of the electorate are either authoritarians or okay with authoritarianism if it keeps them in power. Where one third of the electorate don't really care either way as long as they get their hamberders and sportsball. And where much of the other third, either through willful ignorance or privilege, couldn't bring themselves to believe that "it could happen here".

(26,057 posts)literally nothing, since you and everyone else is a valid American citizen. 14 million illegal citizens (est.)/348 million US citizens, is roughly 4% of us.
Four percent of us ... so they are going around, shooting at American citizens, stopping and searching Americans it seems like everywhere, for a fraction of us, 4%. Hell, my sales tax I pay here is (Missouri) 4.225%. But local jurisdictions can impose additional sales taxes, leading to total rates that can reach up to 10.1% in some areas.
I can think of other things that are more important to deal w/, than a 4% chunk of Americans, such as more appropriate income taxes (use wealth taxes too, for those who escape taxes altogether or pay a vastly lower amount due to them never selling any of their stock (zero capital gains)). Why should we be supporting these thugs when their resources and/or assets compared to the rest of us require more to support them, their infrastructure for their businesses.

This would be horrible as it would give Trump the ammo to declare a national emergency and martial law.
The time it would take for the courts to try to step in and the ability for enough states to combine their National Guards to counter, would be overwhelmingly too late, I fear. But, heh, there'd be none of those pesky elections again, right? And Trump/Tattoo (er, "mini me," aka Vance) would get to come into your home and decide if you are loyalists or need to be removed to... somewhere..(whatever that might mean).

(4,306 posts)It should contain no National emergency exists until at least as many law "enforcement" have been injured or killed as civilians by other gun-toting civilians in some long period of time (sort of like a waiting period to buy a gun in the first place). Such injuries and killings, apparently, do NOT constitute a national emergency currently.
Additionally, no law, regulation, or funding change should be capable of being enacted or implemented in less than 6 months to allow for an orderly transition of management (power), absent an actual emergency (as defined per the above).
We wait between elections and the transition of power, the government should have similar restrictions imposed on it.

(5,048 posts)the Foundation series is incredible. I need to go back and read the books which hadn't been published when I read the trilogy. I hear that there is a tv version as well.

(4,306 posts)Try to read the rest of Foundation in the order in which they were published.
The final book was absolutely mind blowing.
I know nothing of the TV series, I'll have to look for that, thanks.

And this time they are preparing for it. Is anyone else?

Nothing but a bunch of cowards in that Whitehouse that grew up scared and now they send out thugs with guns as their penile extension.
