I'm not telling my fucking life story here, buddy. I have a ton more stories, and he threatened me after recklessly driving over a median, down the wrong side of a major road, and onto the sidewalk.

Fuck off, clueless white dude.

Feel free to pull the quote where I apologized for anything.

To repeat: you didn't give a shit about brown people until the Wrong Guy was screwing them.

Ah, read the wrong "14" in the date, but I've known about this for 35+ years and I assure you it was in vogue 10-11 years ago too.

Bravo, you framed it well.

It was in 1990 or thereabouts that first heard that CBP calls illegal Mexican border crossers "tonks"--because that's what it sounds like when they whack them in the heads with Maglites. HuffPo reported on this during Saint Obama's term in 2014:

Emails Show Border Patrol's Widespread Use Of Anti-Immigrant Slur

This is patently false, no matter how you feel about the state of the laws (quite debatable) or the enforcement (barbaric).

Yes, this on a public sidewalk out of the blue by a psycho CBP agent who jumped a median and looked like he was gonna run me down. This was in 1988! They have been fucktards for a long, long time.

Good luck on getting anywhere with these assholes, they hide behind Federal Tort Claims Act settlements so there isn't much coverage.

Congratulations on living a gentle life free from this bullshit.

Try overstaying your visa in "enlightened" countries like France. They will throw you in prison for working there illegally.

I hear you saying that you can only see things through a partisan prism. This makes you part of the rot at the core of this country.

Guess what? I voted Green in the past three presidential elections, voted for Obama in 2008, and mostly vote (D) in local elections for lack of any sane alternative. I'm coming at this from the left, you defective buttplug, and with a strong ethical compass. I've been making these same arguments with brainless propaganda swallowers from both "sides" like you for decades: you never gave a shit about brown people, this is just a political football to you.

You must not live anywhere near the border. I've had many interactions with CBP/ICE over a long period of time.

Extra points for the Border Patrol guy who jumped a median, drove the wrong way across a three lane boulevard, and parked on the sidewalk after jumping the curb ... then bailed out and yelled "Choe me jour Aye Dee!!" at me in a thick accent. This was in fucking 1988. I'm super white, Made In the USA, and was a goddamn National Merit Scholar, but there I was with some thug in my face. I demanded his ID, and I'm lucky I didn't get shot. I have a lot more stories.

Lucky you if you never understood any of this until recently.

I'm coming at the from the left, you flaccid anon clown. Fuck MAGA.

Good lord, the denial is strong.

Obama's DoJ fought tooth and nail to keep the family detention centers open until a frustrated federal judge got sick of the evasion and assorted bullshit and just called them "inhumane" and ordered them closed. Where the hell were you?

There are of course the blatant violations of the Flores Settlement Agreement (Reno v. Flores, 507 U.S. 292 (1993)) under Obama. I could go on just from memory.

You could look this shit up, you know.

I'm coming at this from the left, retard. Fuck MAGA.

Yeah, some bland policy pieces on CNN or a rabble rousing op-ed in the Daily Bong Load do not constitute real coverage, and certainly not the wall-to-wall hyperventilation we're seeing now.

If you gave a shit about it back then, then good for you. I'd love to see what you wrote about it at the time.

Very sensible response, bravo.
