    They were very clearly asking how it could be illegal in America as it was before it became a fascist dictatorship.

    What you’re doing is telling someone something can be illegal if it’s made illegal. Which, no shit. No one here is so stupid that they don’t understand that laws make things illegal.

      I guess we disagree on the term “clearly”.

      “How does having immigrated here make the arrest valid if they didn’t even commit a crime? Also why do you seem to believe them when they call it a targeted search when there have been constant reports like this one of random people getting picked up, some not even immigrants?”

      I don’t see anything in there that clearly implies anything about before vs now. To me they simply didn’t understand that immigration isn’t instantly permanent.
