Do it the legal way they say, really? [1]

Let me tell you about people who did do it the legal way. Haitians. Most of the people being kidnapped were doing it the legal way. The problem with the “legal” way is that you’re still technically undocumented until you get residency or a green card or citizenship.
The Biden program as affectionately called by Haitians, offered a legal way to come to the United States of America. All the background checks, the requirements, the paperwork were done while people were still in Haiti.
These Haitian bought a plane ticket, obtained visas, boarded a plane and went to stay with their sponsors. They were issued temporary social security cards, valid only for work purposes (not voting). They have jobs and pay taxes.
They were in the US the legal way, that did not spare them the call of “illegal aliens” and “Pet eaters”, it did not shelter them from having their legal status removed and did not spare them from ICE.
Do it the legal way is a lie, this administration does not want migrants, legal or not if they aren’t white and even then, it’s gotta be the right kind of white people. Canadians and people from countries in Europe in the Taco trade wars are suddenly undesirables.
Spare me the “they should have come here legally” BS. People being arrested at their immigration meetings are doing it the fucking legal way. Most of the migrants in the US are doing it the legal way, the way that has been made available, the way is just fucked up but it is not “illegal”.
Fuck this administration
