    I can be done! We just need to find the strength to do what's right for American and their country.. Start with Barrios and herd the illegal criminals and gangs back to wherever they came from....

    Or should we just wait until the economy craters?

    Just proves the old adage where there is a will there is a way, or the other adage, It ain't rocket science, folks. Eisenhower saw illegal aliens will destroy the country. He did not need to know anything else. So he told his troops to round them all up and ship 'em out.

    NO! Let it keep going! Chicago just spent 250 million in the last week on ILLEGALS, almost twice of what they spent the week before. They are finally feeling the pain of their stupid sanctuary city policies. That pain is not nearly enough. They need another solid 8 months of non-stop busloads of illegals from texas to ALL sanctuary cities until the whole system collapses. Sorry, this is the ONLY way these fools will learn

    Please quote this "law" to roundup Americans with dark skin color and put them on trains. An English translation would be appreciated, as my German is a bit rusty...

    Asking to show proof of legal entry and citizenship of the United States is promoting race hatred?

    Lol, not much of a spin job. That why help to make it stick was summoned?

    I read it. Did you read the rest of my post? Can't tell such you cut it out.

    You see that is part of the problem. No one is speaking to anyone anymore. They're not asking questions. They see something, they automatically react. Nothing else matters.

    I did. It doesn't address my point.

    If you have to ASK if their intention is to promote hate or not, you can be sure it DOES promote hate.

    It makes no difference what the OP says NOW his intention was. What he posted stays the same. And it promotes HATE.

    I see no hate in it. Point it out.

    And yes, asking for clarification does change things. Both sides of the aisle often clarify after a point was made that seemed offensive. And their respective sides point out the clarification and say "see this is what he really meant!".

    Again?

    Here...

    It changes what to what? You mean it changes from promoting hate to not promoting hate? It may change it for those who ask. But it doesn't for the targets of hate-threads. They don't ASK... they just HATE. The violent ones just shoot first and ask questions later.

    Look.... you asked for an example of a thread promoting hate. Now you have it. You can rationalize all you want. People who have a tendency to HATE fellow human beings feel empowered as soon as they read "Mexican" and "people with darker skin" being put in trains... and their happy. That's the target audience. Who else if not?

    You can deny all you want. But ANYBODY who reads this objectively understands that the purpose is to instill hate. And it reminds them of what history teaches us about the implications of people of the wrong "race" being put in trains. This thread actually GLORIFIES it. As if it were something we WANT to do.

    We have a labor shortage. What's right for Americans is to fuel growth by expanding the workforce.

    Good call, then again, those that hate, fail to see their own even when on display :)

    Take note how the Golem selectively alters the OP by leaving out the first two lines.

    It's a dishonest way to quote but the mods allow him to do it time and time again..

    You're being dishonest. You are treating an articles words as if @ButterBalls said them personally. And you're selectively editing, like you did in the post I'm responding to, to make it out as if he said them.

    He relayed an article showing that mass deportations happened. He supports mass deportations. He doesn't support doing it on the basis of race. Nothing hateful about his post. You attributing everything in the article to him is of your own presumptions.

    He ENDORSED them personally. It's in the title and the first sentence of this thread. He calls it "what's right for Americans and their country"

    Look... You asked for examples of promoting hate-speech. The OP, even if we assumed it was "inadvertent", does exactly that. The OP calls it "...the strength to do what's right for American and their country..." and then submits the quote to explain what he means including the part I quoted

    So are you saying he just happened to "forget" to say that in the OP?

    He might not support DOING it. But that doesn't preclude the fact that it's hate speech. It promotes people WISHING we did that. That is hate speech!

    This is what the OP wishes we had "the strength to do". Bold added to highlight.

    "On Feb. 26, 1931, a sunny Sunday in Los Angeles, hundreds gathered for an afternoon of relaxation in La Placita park in the heart of the city’s Mexican community.

    Suddenly, a large group of plainclothes officers armed with guns and batons entered the park. Two officers were posted at each entrance to La Placita so that no one could leave. Dozens of flatbed trucks circled the park’s perimeter.

    Officers rounded up all the people with darker skin, said Joseph Dunn, a former Democratic state senator from California, who researched this forgotten episode of U.S. history.

    Panic swept through the crowd. About 400 park patrons were lined up and asked to show proof of legal entry and citizenship of the United States.

    The Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans who could not produce proper documentation were detained. Then, some were put on the trucks and sent to the city’s main railroad station, Dunn said. Once there, they were ordered onto previously chartered trains and taken deep into Mexico, according to Dunn."

    Detaining every person that doesn't "look" American, demanding "Papers, please!", and putting them in "trains" is what the OP wishes we had "the strength to do". What else? They did that in many places in the 1930s. Most notably in Germany.

    Getting people to WISH we could do that is promoting hate speech. And even if it's unlikely that somebody who would act violently on this "wish" would be in this forum... there are people... SOMEWHERE, that will. So the more of this hate speech spreads, the more likely it will reach the intended target.

    You do realize that he's already confirmed what he meant in this thread...right? All you are doing is pushing your own perceptions, your own biases, now.

    Did he CORRECT his statement and acknowledge that he couldn't have chosen a worse example and a worse way "to do" what he claims is "what's right for Americans"? If he didn't, then it's still hate speech.
