    These kinds of people right here? I hope they're also in a position where we all sadly have to let them perish because "but wut about muh <insert something stupid and not worth people's lives>".

      letting people die in droves to appease a made up thing like "migrant crisis"

      mother in christ the US is the wealthiest country in the world and it's half empty. a hundred million refugees could arrive and the US could (in theory, if it wasnt a genocidal neoliberal shell of a state) simply settle them somewhere.

        a hundred million refugees could arrive

        this has precedent, see: European immigration to the Americas, where over 60 million Europeans migrated to the Americas, and 32 million migrated to the United States alone between 1821 and 1932 (nearly 300 thousand a year)

          yeah. unfortunately, even if the current US decided to settle the people, it'd probably settle them around phoenix...

    The sad reality is that it's not just Americans saying this stuff. I've heard similar things from people in my country about Salvadoran migrants. The same jokes about shooting them at the border are also made.

      There have been previous reports that they've been ordered to push people back into the water and had been setting up buoys that had saw blades in between.

        nah fuck this, don't be the race police. this kind of thing is bullshit in general but I think particularly so in the context of indigenous people who've been colonized. there's nothing special about DNA that makes people automatically have good or bad takes.
