No, it is not. It seems that way if you are a (s)expat in the honeymoonphase. Then you learn the language and look into the abyss. In it families who can not trust one another, hierarchies of incompetence with bribes upon bribes, no legal recourse to anything, a caste system of actual misery and no perspective for that to ever change. And that is peace time. In wartime the ethnic majority progroms and kicks everyone else out of the country.

Literally none (0%) of this applies to China. Burma, maybe. But even that's a stretch. You're exaggerating for dramatic or comedic effect, that much is certain.

    They’re deporting green card holders now.
    - lurk2 1y ago
      “Now” implies that this wasn’t being done before. It has always been legal to deport a green card holder over criminal convictions. Are you suggesting that ICE is rounding up these green card holders for the crime of being Mexican and throwing them back over the wall? This seems to be what you want people to believe. I’m aware of at least two cases where naturalized citizens were deported without having their status revoked, but in both cases these deportations were found to be illegal and damages were awarded. This might look like an indication of malice on the part of ICE until you realize that there is something like 40 million immigrants living in America. If you have any concrete figures demonstrating the systematic abuse of the deportation process, I’ll encourage you to share them.

        It's almost like increasing the speed and discarding process safeguards increases the rate of error! Imagine that! Who could have predicted?

        This style of commentary is incredibly obnoxious and doesn’t belong here.

        Pardon, I'm a little too distracted by the fascism to care much for decorum these days.
