Racism is very American, ICE is very racist, but ICE is also quite new. We did fine without them for more than 200 years.

US America never did "Fine" It is an evil place and an evil settler population.

The US always had la migra, it is just in the news now. They used to be called the INS. The US has been harassing and deporting people for decades. Before that they lynched people, Before that they literally wiped 95% of all the indigenous people out of the country.

Also, many sketchy "suicides" resembling lynches still happen in the US, authorities refuse to investigate, so while we can't say it with complete certainty, lynches still happen

I'm sure its totally legitimate that all the Boeing whistleblowers committed suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head

We had open borders with no restriction on immigration for like the first 100 years, the first laws restricting immigration were because of anti-Chinese racism in the late 1800s.
