And of course, they've just condemned Manny's sister to die of leukemia as well. Yay, helping! /s

This is reminding me of the girl who came to America for heart and lung transplant surgery because her country "doesn't do those surgeries". The doctors messed up and gave her organs with the wrong blood type. She needed a 2nd surgery, but she didn't make it. American tax payers were outraged that she was even allowed a 2nd surgery because she was from Mexico. From what I understand, her family had insurance that paid for a good chunk, the family paid out of their own pockets, and donations covered what was left. They pointed out that immigrants (legal and illegal) and tourists to America have their organs donated when they die, even if it was against their beliefs. We condemn them for coming here for one reason or another, yet we go to their countries for cheaper health and dental care. My own cousin went to Mexico for dental care because she could pay $200 dollars there, compared to $800 here. Even those who were brought here via human trafficking are condemned for being kidnapped and sold. Even if they were only 4 years old.

An unshakeable cold being a symptom of leukemia is what happened to my cousin. By the time she got a real diagnosis, it was too advanced. She was 14 when she died. RIP Kristen.

[@dietotaku]

it was actually the covid vaccine that got my husband diagnosed with leukemia. he'd been having some fatigue and dizziness, got the first dose and had a 24-hour fever but was fine. got the second dose and woke up the next morning with a hard mass under his ribs. his spleen was 3 times the normal size. the immune response from the vaccine kicked his white blood cell production into overdrive which revealed the genetic mutation causing his leukemia. without that vaccine he would have reached a terminal stage before it was spotted.

As an English person, I'm curious if literally anyone thinks ICE are good people. Or at least, if any of the people who do are worth talking to.

[@Kira1Lawliet]

Many people in America are pretty heartless when it comes to immigrants. Even a lot of liberals will pay lip service to immigrants and say we need to treat them better, but still say "we need secure borders and border security" and think ICE is somehow necessary. As with the homeless, America has a real moral problem when it comes to how we look at immigrants. There are those who see the full truth-both the plight of immigrants AND the lack of necessity for these strict border policies-but sadly they're in the minority.

[@Meanie74]

No they are terrible people enforcing human suffering. Any good they do doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of them being abusive and fascist. Same as any cop. Sure society probably needs these roles but they are entirely authoritarian and corrupt as it is in material reality. Dumb shows like this are cop apologia/ propaganda as well as medical industry apologia. Everyone in these are well intentioned and care about a system being wrong and are never sycophantic. It’s wishful thinking. We all sure wish people gave a ____ about people’s lives over authoritarianism.

[@ashencloak667]

As an American, the anti-immigrant rhetoric is pretty pervasive. Specifically against Central and South Americans. A solid 50% of our country definitely thinks ICE are great people. And even among those who don't, they think they're "just doing their job".

[@symbolguy3609]

Not me. A lot of USA land used to be owned by Mexico until it was stolen by one of our presidents, way before we had 50 states, and don’t even get me started on Native Americans. Our ancestors took a lot of land that wasn’t theirs to take, so we have no right to complain about immigrants “stealing jobs.”

[@seanharper8488]

5-6 years back... Our town had issues with Biker gangs vs Bloods vs Crips, but Ms-13 came and drove a lot of those gangs out of town. A lot of killing and then ICE conducted a dozen or so raids, boom 80+ arrested and/or deported. Now, it's pretty much just the occasional Biker gang issue. ICE is alright in my book.

Do you have ANY idea how slow, dangerous, and/or expensive the legal immigration process can be? People waiting for months in dangerous circumstances, trying to apply for asylum. Then being told they don’t have enough proof to show their life was in danger where they came from. Or look at how difficult it is to come just “for a better life”. Good freaking luck. You have to either be immensely lucky or really well off financially. And even once you’re here, they’ll take any excuse to send you back. Speeding ticket? Deportation. As they said here, shoplifting (probably for basic essentials, given the total)? Deportation. The legal immigration process is so prohibitively slow and difficult that you should have more compassion for those unable to successfully navigate it.

[@kibauno]

@@Onlera That is true, but that does not make anyone above the country's laws. If citizens have to follow the laws of this country then so do immigrants. My family immigrated here in the early 1900s and lived in the slums of New York working long hours in factories for pennies. Nowadays, immigrants legal or not get health insurance, food stamps, and housing while the working class suffers for it because it comes out of our tax dollars and not all of us are wealthy as some may believe either.
