The War on Drugs is well-documented to be a racist pretext for mass incarceration and violation of 4th Amendment rights, etc., (see The New Jim Crow for example), so Sanders is either a useful idiot or complicit.
I mean, yeah, if you’re punishing people for consuming the drugs directly, 100%. However, Trump’s focus has been more on preventing fentanyl from entering the country.
Unfortunately, he’s still an idiot since the US’s own pharmaceutical companies are the primary culprit and he’s just using Mexico as a scapegoat, so yeah, you’re not wrong lol.
Literally no where in the quote or article linked was anyone called “illegal.” He referred to people as undocumented, if that’s what you mean? Can you not read?
“Illegal immigration” is the act of migrating into a country in violation of that nation’s immigration laws. It does not describe people, but an act.
On the other hand, there is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant” and no where in the article text, Bernie’s words or otherwise, was there purported here to be so. Again, please point to me where anyone (read: a person) was called “illegal.”
In summary: you should not accuse others of being unable to read when you clearly cannot do so yourself.
…What’s wrong with his position, exactly?
“cracking down on fentanyl”

Because people are not ‘illegal’ for crossing an imaginary line on a map.
Where did he call anyone ‘illegal’?
Can you not read?

Does it hurt to be that stupid?

Brother, the people doing the illegal immigration are illegal immigrants. Do you not understand that, lol?
You’ve either lost the plot or are a troll. Have a nice day.
You removed, or stupid?
I really love what you’ve contributed to the conversation, “Nonconfrontational”.
“You removed, or stupid?” and “Can you not read?” are very informative, thank you for posting.
Guess I shouldn’t be too surprised by someone from lemmy.ml, though.
Answer the question, lol.
