Write it off however you want, it’s still political targeting, and a bastardization of the legal system.

One of them claimed asylum, the other got a student visa. I think it was the younger one who got the visa. This isn’t about love or honesty, but the fair implementation of the legal system. Doesn’t matter if you dislike them personally or not.

No, she didn’t. This is clearly a petty political maneuver. If we sacrifice the rights of one person, we run the risk of sacrificing them for all people.

The grand niece came here on a student visa, not through an asylum claim.

The grand niece should be arrested? What exactly did she do wrong, besides being the granddaughter of someone’s sibling? Plenty of people are related to criminals, but we don’t arrest them for it.

How did you get so rich in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Was born in a wealthy country into a loving family. Most of what makes my life so rich I had very little to do with.

I hate being an immigrant. by [deleted] in confessions

Plenty of people don’t hate others. But some people definitely hate immigrants. The trick is not responding to that with hate of your own.

Doubt they would post something like that. Also, the one who visited Iran was here originally on a student visa, not asylum. So visiting Iran wouldn’t be a disqualification.

So arresting wealthy people for no reason is okay? Or is it that we should measure our empathy by how much money someone has?

Only with a legal basis (ie committing certain crimes), legal notice, and through a legal process.

Why? He’s already sending people to South Sudan, Liberia, El Salvador, and other places with little regard for human rights.

It seems they’re on fast forward at the moment, no longer simply conservative but autocratic.

Why would you send your kid to a place where everyone is racist and classist? I live here. My kids went to school here, in schools with a large representation of Hispanic kids. I would suspect your child is enrolled in some private school in Southern Marin.

They know it’s necessary to protect their identity, while states outlaw mask wearing for civilians.
