Chris Hedges as always was inspiring.
At this point, Trump is just deporting undocumented people who were arrested for a crime after arrival. Sanctuary cities were established to protect immigrants with a “well-founded fear of persecution” in their home country. Most immigrants know, especially undocumented ones, to stay out of trouble with the law, or suffer the consequences. Why did the Biden administration open the floodgates and provide benefits to immigrants that long-term homeless people never see? Was it to depress wages and incite race wars between citizens and immigrants?
Capitalism and constant propaganda brings about the manufactured Consent which elects and re-elects Israel’s cackle of Red and Blue Hyenas, cycle after cycle. As long as Americans continue this insanity there will be no change but for the worst. We need Worker Co-ops too.
