This week, a group of Americans fleeing the escalating violence in Israel fell on Tampa on trips from its coordination by Gray Paul Resvie, a non -profit organization based in Tamba, which was founded by American warriors to bring citizens from war areas. The group’s voltage – the heroic with any procedure – was covered in a local news story and soon made its way to Facebook.
Then the comments came.
“Call the ice.”
“Send them again.”
“Why do we save them?”
The article clearly stated that the people who were evacuated were American citizens. The title did not. This did not prevent the flood of doubt – a wave of Vitriol that targets people who belong here with all legal definitions. Among the hate, a few of the only commentators pushed back: They are American citizens. Have you read the story?
This reaction does not happen in a vacuum. It comes amid a noticeable rise in ice raids throughout the country, and not only targeting unimaginable immigrants, but sweeping the legal population, asylum seekers, and in some cases, manive citizens who fell into the intersection of doubt. The climate is shipped, and it is easy for some to suspect any person “does not seem American enough.”
The problem is not just a misunderstanding of the immigration law. It is one of the symptoms of the broader cultural transformation – as fear exceeds the facts, and the affiliation is determined by the comments section.
Gray bullSm “Save Americans and allies from conflict and disaster areas.” What followed in these comments was something else completely: a reflection of a nation that is increasingly keen on asking about who deserves safety, which is treated as a threat, even when they return to the house.
