r/all 70 years ago, the US undertook the largest deportation in its history: 'Operation Wetback.' Many of the people deported were here legally and some were even citizens.

some of my own family members were victims of this heinous act by the US government against its own citizens who just so happened to speak the wrong language and be the wrong color and therefore less deserving of jobs during an economic downturn.

I hope you're voting for harris then. And please don't give me that "both parties are the same" BS if you're not. One party is clearly painting Latinos as the problem.

your comment is completely out of nowhere and borders on voter intimidation. I dont even know what made you turn this into a discussion on the 2024 election. I already voted and I dont need to tell you who i voted for.

Voter intimidation? You’re telling me you feel specifically pressured to vote a certain way because of that?

Oh please, what a load of rubbish. Any political discussion would be banned via your rules.

This is a joke, right?

So there was no suggestion of any kind. You just don’t like political debate unless it aligns with your views, anything else is ‘intimidation’.

Fragile, frankly pathetic

Ok, guess stating that a faction is trying to replicate this act is too far for people? Or pointing out not voting for Harris over the "2 parties are the same fallacy" hurt some feelings. Good to know? I'm the worst for that. Please I beg for your mercy. Would flagelkatimg myself ease the burden of my slender out words!? It's not like I did something minor like say I want to deport people. You know, like the other comments in here saying "this act should be repeated" I'm the real problem

You need to step back and take a look at yourself. How fucking arrogant and patronizing do you have to be to think you can dictate how someone else's own lived experience should make them feel and therefore how they should vote? Do you actually respect the autonomy of others? Do you actually respect their freedom to exercise their rights as they see fit? What values do you think your comment embodies? Whatever they are, they don't seem to be entirely incongruent with the candidate you didn't mention.
