I’ve said it before in real life, the Family Guy skin color chart is gonna be a literal reality and not a satirical truth

However, voluntary repatriation was far more common than formal deportation and federal officials were minimally involved.[5] Some of the repatriates hoped that they could escape the economic crisis of the Great Depression.[9] The government formally deported at least 82,000 people,[10] with the vast majority occurring between 1930 and 1933.[5][11] The Mexican government also encouraged repatriation with the promise of free land.[8][12]: 185–186 

This makes it seem like many of them wanted out of the US already, and Mexico was more than willing to receive them.

Edit: The page also says that people were blaming Mexicans and making them the scapegoat for the reason why they were dealing with the great recession. It seems that many were already wanting to move to Mexico due to the recession coupled with the promise of free land. There were still a lot who were deported forcefully against their will.

Reading the source article for that one is wild. Yes, many more were not "deported" but were instead "repatriated" but it is well documented that they were coerced and threatened into leaving.

If you are not obviously white (a la the aforementioned Family Guy color chart), and even if you are but live in a multiethnic area, do yourself a favor and get a passport. Carry it with you whenever you leave your residence.

At which point they'll claim it's fake or you stole it. There is no way out of this if they want to throw you in a cage.

I'm Asian American (born here) but have always been mistaken as Hispanic (ever since my early teenage years) and I'm already thinking of carrying my passport with me starting on Trump's first day.

Same goes if you're obviously white but have family members who are not.

Don't post pictures of screenshots. Post links.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

I don't have a link and even if I did, no fucking way am I linking to Twitter.

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

This exchange has already ran it's course, but for future purposes if you do get your hands on an "x" link, you can replace it with "xcancel" to redirect it to Nitter

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

How did you get this screenshot (and verify its authenticity before publishing) it if you never saw the source?!? If you're not willing to get the link, then dont publish it.

This incident has been reported. Don't do it again.

Go make your own instance with the imaginary rules you're trying to apply here instead of being a Karen.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago

My brother in Christ what authenticity? That Mike Madrid said it? Theres no article for the source of the information in the tweet so why does it twist your balls so much?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

The link itself (posted below) doesn't provide any sources, so what difference does it make at this point

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

Probaby not worthy of being shared here then

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Exactly what community rule did I break?

Firstly, it's not misinformation. If you just look at the comments, there are people backing it up with links.

Secondly, this is the sidebar with the rules. I would like you to quote me the misinformation rule please:

Here's the link of the article they were mentioning https://greattransformation.substack.com/p/mass-deportations-a-dark-history

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Wouldn't the last mass deportation event be operation wet back in 1954?
