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
For those who would like to learn more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation
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.
I don't have a link and even if I did, no fucking way am I linking to Twitter.
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
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.
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?
The link itself (posted below) doesn't provide any sources, so what difference does it make at this point
Probaby not worthy of being shared here then
Exactly what community rule did I break?
Spreading misinformation
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

Yeah definitely need to give Elon more money
Wouldn't the last mass deportation event be operation wet back in 1954?
