On Saturday in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted after Lang was swarmed by local residents and counterprotesters. The robust community response to the rally underscores the unpopularity of Trump’s “mass deportation” policies and attacks on immigrants.

    1. Pro-immigration and Pro-ICE
    2. Anti-Muslim. Burning their Quran is definitely part of that.
    3. He’s a racist.
    4. Pro-immigration, Pro-ICE, racism, Anti-Muslim are all from the same mindset that drives all right wingers in the US.

    EDIT: The distinction here is that Pro-immigration translates to “Pro-deportation” in right wing colloquial expression.

        You’ve described conservatives perfectly.

        I hope I’m not the only one that resists throwing up in my mouth when one speaks.

      Pro-immigration […] drives all right wingers in the US.

      I am not sure, I fully understand. Because being a proponent of something means you support it. So pro-immigration people are in favor of others immigrating to their country, and that’s certainly not what the fascist want? They want immigrants, illegals, aliens (whatever they call them) out of the country so they are anti-immigration.

        Yes I think Jumbie mistyped, “anti-immigration” is correct for the right-wingers, or as I call them the Wrong Wing.

        The only way they could be called “pro-Immigration” is if you’re using “Immigration” as a short name for ICE and US Border Patrol and Dept of Homeland Security together in general. As we in Los Angeles sometimes call them “la migra”. Because although they have different jurisdictions, undocumented people have to run/hide from all of them.

          This is correct and also (as I tried to clarify above) interchangeable with the rightwingers wanting to deport all non-whites.

          I apologize for the mistake.

        I specified above (I should have initially).

        To a US rightinger scumbag, immigration is interchangeable with deportation of the browns.
