According to Brett M. Kavanaugh (Brett M. Use law and “common sense”.
Brown people speak brown language, hang out with other brown people, and do some brown people like low-paying jobs, now meet the legal standards of “reasonable doubt” required for immigration to stop.
Living in Black while Brown has become the new driver.
Of course, this particular High Court ruling (and our general anxiety) centers on Latino immigration. This is fair and understandable. In California, about half of our immigrants come from Mexico, while other Latin and South American countries are more.
But more people, especially for new immigrants, are coming from African and Asian countries such as China and India, some of whom remember Donald Trump’s call for “Shithole Country” It can be traced back to 2018, while questioning why the United States does not attract more immigrants from white people like Norway.
It is a dangerous mistake to think that Trump’s immigration removal is just Latinos. He himself knew it. When our High Court considers Brown to be the same as the illegal pronoun, we represent Brown’s synonym as illegal no matter which country the pigment originates. The wrong difference about who is targeted is that solidarity is our greatest power when it creates disagreement.
“It’s really about racial obedience, it’s really about promoting white supremacy in this country,” George Galvis, executive director of community restoration of youth justice, told me. He is Native American and part of Latino, 100% violates such a policy and aims for skin color.
Mexico, India, China, Iran. People in these places may not always see what they have in common, but let me help you.
Racists see two colors: white instead of white. Although this particular case was filed on behalf of the Latino defendant, nothing can limit its scope to Latino.
“This is not a target for Eastern Europeans. It is not a target for Caucasians,” said Amr Shabaik, legal director of the Los Angeles Council for the United States Islamic Relations, which advocates for a nonprofit civil rights organization in the United States. “It’s going to be in the black and brown communities, and that’s who will be the first to bear the brunt.”
For black Americans, this argument is as old as dirt. Our criminal justice system, our society, has a long and documented history of doubtful black Americans – considering that “common sense” believes they think they are evil about actions like driving. But, for the most part, our courts frowned at such obvious racism – though not always.
This kind of anti-Black discrimination can be seen today when Trump deploys the National Guard to city centers, a “crime war” that is backtracking the drug war against the devastating consequences of black Americans in the 1990s.
This ruling on immigration enforcement works side by side with military deployment, a strategy to eliminate our anger and shock towards civil rights.
As Justice Sonia Sotomayor pointed out in her objection, the Fourth Amendment should protect us all from “arbitrary intervention” by law enforcement.
“After today, this may no longer be true for those who happen to see, speak in a certain way and seem to be doing some kind of legal work,” she wrote.
This made the ruling “incredible” with the Constitution, she wrote.
Since October last year, ICE has detained about 67,000 people nationwide According to government data. Of these, nearly 18,000 were from Mexico. The detention of people from Guatemala and Honduras has increased that number by nearly 14,000 Latino descent. Thousands have increased in places including Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. Of course, Latin Americans are the first to be hit anyway.
However, the rest of the brown world is not immune. More than 2,800 people from India were detained, including more than 1,400 Chinese. Thousands of people from all over Africa are also locked in.
So we’re not only talking about Latinos in car washes or home warehouses. We are talking about Little India in Artesia. Little Ethiopia in Midtown; Sri Lankan community in West Kovina.
We are talking about Stockton Avenue in Sacramento, where every afternoon, Vietnamese gather in cafes.
We are talking about farms, schools and towns in the Central Valley and Central Coast, Latino and Latino Asian Immigration Grow our food.
We are talking about cities like Fremont, the Bay Area, from places like India, China, and the Philippines.
We’re talking about immigration in California 27% of the state’s populationmore than twice the national average. Yes, many of them lack documents, or live in families of different status.
one Recent Merced Research at UC It was discovered that there were about 2.2 million undocumented immigrants in California. About two-thirds of them have been here for more than ten years, and half have been here for more than 20 years.
“It’s not about enforcing immigration laws, but about Latinos, and anyone who looks or doesn’t sound like Stephen Miller’s thoughts about American citizens and children, intentionally harms California’s family and small businesses,” Gavin Newsom wrote on social media. “Trump’s private police force now has a green light to follow your family – everyone is a target now.”
Remember a few months ago when our dear leaders swear they were just pursuing criminals? The speed of this criminal turned into anyone who illegally crossed the border?
And now, it has become publicly brown people-we aren’t even shocked. We are happy to debate what these extensive scanning rules will be, as it completely abandons the fact that widespread sweep is terrible.
Do you think it will stop immigration or even commit crimes? Where are LGBTQ+ people? Or a protester? Who is the next threat?
Immigration sweep is not a Latino issue, it is a Latino fear. We open the door to people who “common sense” tells us that right and non-Americans are targeted.
The only way to close that door is our collective strength, the kind of “common sense” discrimination that Kavanaugh embraced like he did.
