The wording of "alien" is pretty disturbing in and of itself. Not illegal or anything, not "foreign", but "alien". Might as well just say "unwanted".

There are a whole lot of aliens with citizenship. Both people that have naturalized and citizens born abroad to American parents.

Yup, just the word itself has a very strong connotation to something negative or dangerous, so I doubt it's by accident that they chose this word.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not at all an accident. And indicative of how they want to deport (or worse) legal aliens. And further, we've seen them deport many natural born American citizens from minority groups they are targeting.

I'm just wondering, why hasn't a civil war already started against this?

Hello, puny earthlings, it is I, the Alien. Surrender, or you shall suffer.
