      Millions of American criminals are required to wear an ankle monitor as a condition of bail or parole. These people had 15 or more years to handle their court cases or become legal citizens. There is nothing racist about it.

        Putting the whole "criminals" tangent aside, you might want to read up on what's actually happening...

        They came legally in an effort to bolster Springfield's economy. From Wikipedia:

        > As new businesses opened and a labor shortage emerged,[21][23] Haitian immigrants began arriving in Springfield around 2017 to work in local produce-packaging and machining factories.[24] By 2020, Springfield's economy had somewhat rebounded; new employers had added some 8,000 jobs, adding to the labor shortage.[25][26][27][28] Employers encouraged Haitians to continue coming to the city to fill jobs in warehouses, manufacturing, and the service sector. Haitians in the United States, Haiti, and South America heard from family and friends about Springfield, its low cost of living, and its need for workers. Immigration increased substantially after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, coinciding with deepening political and economic instability in Haiti after the assassination of the president in 2021.[21][24] By 2024, some 12,000 to 15,000 immigrants, many Haitian, had legally moved to the Springfield area.[29][30][21][31] In June 2024,[32] ongoing crises and severe violence in the Caribbean nation of Haiti led the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to grant temporary protected status to Haitian immigrants,[33] allowing the existing migrant population in the U.S. to live and work *without the risk of deportation*

        Haiti has a Level 4 "DO NOT TRAVEL" advisory from the State Dept. It is extremely unsafe to go there and has been for many years.

          It’s not a tangent. It’s the simple truth. American criminals often wear ankle bracelets as a condition of their release from prison, and that’s not racist. But suddenly because we require it of illegal immigrants, it is racist? Nonsense.

          If they were told that TPS protected them from deportation then they were lied to. All TPS does is pause enforcement. Once it ends their immigration cases are not paused any more. Their cases simply proceed from wherever they left off. Most illegal immigrants apply for asylum when they get caught but don’t actually qualify for it, so they’ll be deported. This isn’t racist, it’s just the reality of how our immigration laws work.

            Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, and I'll throw them into cages and put ankle bracelets on them

            İ cannot believe you are ratiolising this. Refugees are not the same as criminals. İ agree it is not racist, but this is a violation of human rights. Slowly but surely rights of people in the US are being chipped away, like boiling frogs.

    When you hear this:

    "I grew up in IT !"

    English translation:

    "I grew up in Haiti"

    I'm so sorry. These people doing this are just such a malignancy. A show of how incredibly corrupt and bad government can be, a show of abuse & violation of the sacred trust of the public. Alas: that itself plays in to the modern insurrectionist Republican agenda, which seems to revolve around anti-governance and insurrection itself.

      what is happening is NOT government.

      The sacred trust of the American public was violated when previous administrations turned Temporary Protected Status into de facto permanent residency without the consent of said public.

        This member of the public thinks the entire immigration system is a racist joke, and welcomes any and every means of circumventing it.
