Tuberville warns US citizens: "Don't hang around illegals"

Source: Salon

Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., advised U.S. citizens on Wednesday not to associate with undocumented immigrants lest they be swept up in raids by federal agents.

[.....]

“Well, first of all, don’t put yourself in a situation where that happens,” Tuberville said, in a video shared to X. “And I’m sure with all the illegals we have in this country, you’re gonna probably have some mistakes happen. That’s gonna happen.”

Tuberville went on to warn U.S. citizens that “hanging around” undocumented immigrants could lead to them being detained or arrested by association.

Manriquez then asked the senator what U.S. citizens can do to avoid arrest by ICE. “Don’t hang around illegals,” Tuberville told him. “Bottom line, because President Trump has said, we’re gonna go after you. And at the end of the day, if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, something bad could happen.”

Are we supposed to avoid anyone who is not white and does not speak with an American accent?

Do we need to ask everyone we associate with (clerk at supermarket, waiter at restaurant, etc.) for a certified birth certificate? And if they can't produce one, should we flee in terror?

Or isthe Trump administration going to make undocumented migrants wear a distinctive badge, like this?

aiming for. First terrorize any non-white person, especially if they're Hispanic and then isolate them as a demographic. Easier to go in for the kill that way.

If this works he'll apply it to other out of favor groups. That will make it so much easier for the magats to know who it's perfectly OK to shoot. We're getting close to true concentration camps I'm afraid.

Of course freedom of association as in the constitution is as ignored as every other right and amendment. Why the crap doesn't he just call a press conference and make a big splash by physically tearing up the constitution? Maga would no doubt love it, but it might energize anyone else still on the fence of, oh...its not that bad yet. Grrrrr

Illegals are not human beings to them, they have no humanity towards them. To them “illegals”,undocumented immigrants, are worse than Jeffrey Epstein and his child sex trafficking. How dare they speak Spanish in public

Past an old house with five Mexicans WORKING on the roof. Then I went to the very busy Chinese Restaurant to get some takeout, and there were at least five people who didn’t look like me WORKING their asses off. Fuck you jerk Tuberville.

But thx for letting us know of the danger posed to all of us by members of the convicted felons administration.

wear that information around their fucking necks.

This translates in Republican to: "Don't hang out with Spanish-speaking brown-skinned people or anyone ICE is likely to kidnap on the assumption that they are 'illegals,' when in reality, you don't fucking know...and neither do we. But hey, that doesn't matter, because we've got quotas to hit, and you're getting in our way."

But any state that would send that fuckstick to the Senate ought to have its statehood revoked.

After the next Civil War that sane America wins, there are going to be some fucking draconian "reconstruction" shit done...and like Donnie Dipshit has said; "this time, don't be so nice".

I am dead fucking serious. Shit will need to be done to ensure these fucking MAGAt fascists can NEVER get close enough to political power to smell its farts.

The message don't hang around illegals is so broad. If my husband is doing a HVAC in a new house and the brickies (putting up the brick) are on the same job. The brickies are almost always not white. My husband risks getting "swept up" in making 'amurica great again.

When are we going to start arresting and fining and jailing these employers for hiring illegals?
