Bigoted immigration system?
Yes please, says the supreme court
Hiii, I made a motion to dismiss my case in housing court! Does this mean I’m a lawyer now? Today I’m sharing my feelings on the supreme court ruling that it was okay for the government to prevent a US citizen’s spouse from entering the country because he has tattoos. Onto the news…
News that made me share a moment from my life in Texas
A Salvadoran man, Luis Asencio-Cordero, was denied entry into the United States of America to be with his family because he has tattoos. A consular officer who is definitely not racist claimed the tattoos meant Luis is a member of MS-13 and was coming to the United States to carry out unlawful activity. I didn’t know having tattoos made you a member of the gang MS-13.
This means the entirety of Bushwick is overrun with white trust fund babies from the midwest who are part of MS-13. I’m sure the consular who asserted that Luis was a member of MS-13 would also assume the blonde tattooed artist collective member who lives in a loft on top of a bodega in Williamsburg is also a gang member.
A majority of the supreme court agreed with the not racist consular officer by ruling that American citizens do not have a “constitutional right to have their noncitizen spouses enter the United States.” I’m sure this opinion will be equally applied to all people regardless of nationalities, race, and creed.
So not only can someone who thinks having tattoos and being born in Central America makes someone a gang member keep families separate, they don’t even have to explain themselves. Which means your neighbor who wears the heritage not hate confederate flag hat can work at a consular office, deny anyone’s partner from entering the United States, and not have to explain himself.
Good for you if you don’t have a neighbor who insists the American confederacy was not a racist institution. I grew up in Texas and went to a college where a kid sitting right next to me exclaimed in excitement how his parents had sent him a confederate flag to decorate his dorm with. Then upon realizing there was a Black person in the room (there were only 33 Black kids in the whole school) he said it’s heritage not hate. I loved that he was uncomfortable. Also, imagine going to college to get an education when you are committed to staying ignorant.
People like that man exist everywhere in the United States of America because you can’t spell the United States of America without racism. These people also work in the government, gasp in false surprise. People who are racists also tend to be bigoted in other ways, which explains why I've never seen a confederate LGBTQIA+ flag being flown.
If the supreme court says that in a world filled with bigoted people, consular officers don’t have to explain why they have rejected someone’s entrance. Especially if the case brought to make the decision showcased the racism of the consular officer more than a large water bong on a coffee table showcases the weed habits of the owner of the coffee table. It’s clear the supreme court wants an environment of unchecked bigotry in immigration. I’m not surprised because bigotry in immigration policies is as part of the United States brand as hugging trees is part of my personal brand.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
