Never in my life would I have thought people would have to flee the United States. Well, here we are, folks. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Fuck all of you Dump loving degenerates.

1. Sad for America

2. ...and so you should be.

5. Thank you Canada.

6. Do you know how many people Canada deports every year? n/t

[Maraya1969]

8. Again, I don't think they round up families and they don't deport people requesting

sanctuary.

This is a whole different story.

[PoliticAverse]

11. And that is why lots of people request asylum and many have their requests denied....

and are sent back.

I hope this specific story is followed up on and we learn what the ultimate fate of the family pictured is.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Oh, Canada! nt

[Takket]

14. as well you should be. Canada is one of the greatest nations on Earth.

3. This is not the America I remember. So sad

escaped first to Mexico or Canada to avoid being returned to their home country?

[Maraya1969]

7. I thought only people who were convicted felons, people like that were deported.

This is so different. They are rounding up families.

[PoliticAverse]

10. Although they concentrated resources on people like felons...

"86 percent of these individuals considered a ‘top priority’ (Priority One) — those considered border security or public safety threats"
if they caught you and you were here illegally you had a good chance of being deported...

Obama did work to help protect "dreamers" (those brought to the us illegally as children) something Trump apparently is undoing.

9. Worst president ever.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Scenes like this seem be ultimately inevitable when you allow the creation of...

an enormous federal police apparatus with the Nazi-like name of The Department of Homeland Security.

It's like, once it was created with that title, its descent into an abusive authoritarian agency was a self-fulfilling certainty.

Time to start doing historical research on when the German citizens who fled their country before the war knew exactly when to get out.
