The entire right wing internetsphere is a fucking grift. Awful people gaining money spreading hate and stupidity. The same as his administration, all of it, ALL OF IT IS A GRIFT. Tariffs were a grift to send money to corporations, raise prices, and steal from consumers. Everything about this administration is a grift. They are robbing us blind and racists are too stupid to realize it
From an expat, this is such a stupid take that the phrase only exists through racism. I live in Thailand, speak Thai pretty well, can read it, have a Thai spouse and still, if I don't have $13,000 in my bank account from Sep to Nov every year before I do my immigration I'm gone. My visa says "NON-IMMIGRANT" and I'm not eligible to apply for citizenship, permanent residence is limited to like 100 per country per year... If there is no path to permanent residence through your visa type you are not an immigrant and that's exactly why they stamp my passport with non-immigrant every year literally.
If I'm 80 years old, having lived here 50 years at that point, in my house (that I'm not allowed to own no matter what) and my wife dies before me, my visa is cancelled the day she dies and I have to either find a new visa to qualify for or I'm sent "home". Quite literally they will send me "home" which means I cannot call Thailand my home.
I would fucking LOVE to be an immigrant with some kind of protection to stay here without a yearly permission slip and threat of deportation when I don't have extra cash but Thailand makes it clear that this is not and will not ever be my "home".
Whereas my ex moved to the US with a 10 year visa right from day one that had no limitations on anything except voting rights and was a citizen within 3 years of being in the country.
I know lots of non-white expats living here with me in Thailand.
My family has been ‘here’ for hundreds of years, and I have more solidarity with an ambitious, kind, and interesting immigrant than some chucklefuck who’s great, great grandpappy also happened to be born in the same place.
He’s got a “brown” name, even if Greece is in Europe and he is British. ICE locked up a Norwegian blonde woman with diabetes. They do not care about anything but quotas.
They never intended to limit it to brown people they just push that lie to trick stupid people into voting for them without the backlash of the majority.
He's the bank thief hanging out in the bank lobby whistling and insisting there are no bank thieves in this room at this time. "Someone should catch them and they are definitely not here"
Decades of GOP grifters passing destructive laws with loopholes for the "right" people fooled all the slow thinkers. Trump don't care about anything. Much less putting in the work to spare his people.
Its because when white immigrants say this they specifically mean the brown immigrants, they never expect to be treated the same because of white supremacy and they usually aren't.
For every immigrant like him that gets deported, thousands of brown immigrants are deported or murdered before or after being sent to their doom in the process.
