However, with that having been said, do not worry about it: Your washing machine probably doesn't have the hoses connected when you buy it and people who don't exist should be the least of your concerns. :-P
intresting this upsets you a bit. How about the usa turning into facist regime any adventurous opinions about that ?
As often as I engage in Trump apologetics on these forums, that is because I feel like the Trump administration deserves a fair shot and accurate representation. If I think he goes too far I will say as much.
Few people live their lives in perfect compliance with the law, and enforcement of the law needs to be in accordance with the severity of the infraction. Plus if people have interacted upon the law, but the government's own mishandling of it is the principle cause rather than an act of personal malice or negligence, then the government needs to take responsibility for that. I see no need for the Trump administration to make its job any larger than it has to be with an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants, and it's wasteful to go after good faith actors, particularly in a time when the government is finally looking for ways to cut down on expenditures.
Regarding your question though, that sounds like overblown and overused rhetoric to me. I would probably be more worried if people stopped calling the U.S.A. fascist is the day because that will mean the dissent has been successfully silenced, and I just do not think any government is capable of doing such an excellent job that there is nothing about which to complain. Governments do not exist because people get along perfectly well without some level of authoritarian intervention. Governments exist because of our failure to treat each-other right of our own volition. The very fact that you can complain is a sign that the system is still in a healthy state. In a true dictatorship you can't help but clap because otherwise you will be disappeared[www.historynet.com] without a trace.
Trump is far from the first president to be likened to a king[http//%3Dhttps], and I doubt he will be the last. Even Theodore "Teddy Bear" Roosevelt got the treatment.
Plus a few unconstitutional actions here and there don't really phase me. I know as a principle the constitution is supposed to be inviolate, and vaguely wish it was, but its been over 80 years since the government has been run in strict accordance to constitutional principles of limited governance. The feds usurped a significant amount of power with F.D.R's. new deal legislation, and there are even earlier signs of deterioration such as Oliver Wendell Holmes' whole fire in a movie theater schtickt, which even he backpedaled upon with a much more comportable marketplace of ideas doctrine. But hey, the Puerto Ricans have a pretty sweet deal going on with that whole no taxation without representation thing, 'cause they're exempt from most federal income taxes[en.wikipedia.org]. I mean, I don't think that's what the founders meant by no taxation without representation, but meh. In spite of constitutional disregard, the nation has operated well enough, and part of the problem with restoring constitutional governance is that we dug the trench so deep. It might be better just to amend the constitution to reflect the things actually work now (as a top-down national state, rather than as co-sovereign federation).
Speaking of the constitution, it's broken by design. The system of checks and balances is as such that it makes it difficult for the federal government to do much of anything unless all three branches of government are in compliance with one another. Each branch of the government is supposed to exercise an independent duty to uphold the constitution, so a bit of dissent between them does not concern me.
Most politicians don't bring up the constitution unless it's to veto legislation that goes against their own preferred policy objective. You never hear somebody say "Well, I would prefer the law to be this way, but congress wasn't vested with that authority in its list of enumerated powers, so instead of writing a letter to your senator you should write a letter to your state legislature."
People talk about Trump using military force against the populace as if that's something unprecedented, but heck, for as much as people like George Washington, he did precisely the same during the Whiskey Rebellion[www.mountvernon.org]. I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S.A. had always done such things, although history has never been an especially strong point of mine to be sure.
The one thing that gives me pause for thought is that Trump has shown some disregard for due process lately. Citizen or not, everybody needs their day in court, and part of the reasons immigrants need it is so that citizens don't get swept away under the rug (they'd deserve it regardless, but I fear some people are too self-interested for individual rights to be the sole basis of argumentation). Knowing that it was an administrative error, the first thing the Trump administration should have done in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case was to ask for the guy back, and I am a bit disappointed that Trump said that he doesn't know if he's beholden to uphold the constitution.
In any case, I do not fancy myself to be a fortune teller. I won't know for sure if there's anything to be extraordinarily concerned about or not until it is too late.
Those jobs will be filled by Americans and I don't see anything to indicate that those illegal workers filled some role that couldn't be filled by others.
The article said that specific major corporation which the left claims to hate but now love because it has illegals working there claims that 148 people aren't working there because of Trumps policies but they hire over 5000....pretty sure GE will survive.
As for the white goods machine is this supposed to imply that all these things are only for white people and that somehow deporting them will hurt white people?
Remember millions that's right millions of non-white people voted for Trump and support these mass deportations. And millions of Americans buy GE products.
White goods typically refer to large household appliances that are used for everyday domestic tasks. The term originally comes from the fact that these appliances were traditionally finished in white enamel, though today they come in a variety of colors and finishes.
🧺 Common Examples of White Goods
Refrigerators
Washing machines
Dryers
Dishwashers
Freezers
Cookers and ovens
🏠 Usage Contexts
Retail & Consumer Goods: Stores may categorize these separately from "brown goods" (like TVs and audio equipment).
Real Estate: Rental listings might say “white goods included,” meaning the property comes with appliances.
Environmental Policy: Disposal and recycling of white goods is often regulated due to their size and components.
Brown goods refer to consumer electronics that are typically used for entertainment, communication, or information. The term contrasts with white goods, which are more utility-focused appliances. "Brown goods" originally got their name from the wood or dark-colored finishes of older devices like radios and TVs.
📺 Common Examples of Brown Goods
Televisions
Radios
Audio systems (speakers, amplifiers)
DVD/Blu-ray players
Game consoles
Computers and laptops
Mobile phones and tablets (sometimes included depending on context)
🛍️ Industry Usage
Retail: Stores often separate brown goods from white goods in their product categories.
Technical Support: Brown goods typically require more complex servicing due to electronic components, unlike white goods which are more mechanical.
I think it's fine to be for the illegals being given the boot so that Americans can fill the jobs, but these people weren't exactly illegals. Well, at least not when they were hired. They kind of had the rug swept out from under them by having their legal status revoked. That's what I find detestable about the situation.
It's a regional term specific to British English.[en.wikipedia.org] You can't blame a U.S. voter for not knowing your regional slang.
And now you believe him? >_>
Sorry but there's not a single field in America that is dominated by an illegal work-force, meaning there has always been more "fruit" pickers who are American then illegal fruit pickers. Try again.
