    Jensy Machado, a naturalized US citizen from Virginia, believes US immigration agency profiles Hispanic people

    According to Machado, the agents told him the name of a man who had a deportation order and had given Machado’s home address. He responded by telling the agents that man’s name wasn’t his – and offered to show them his Virginia driver’s license.

    But he says that the agents did not ask to see his ID. Instead, they ordered him to leave his car, and they placed handcuffs on him. An agent then asked Machado how he got into the country.

    “And I told him I was an American citizen,” Machado said. “He looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, ‘Can you believe this guy?’”

      US immigration profiles Hispanic people

      Yes, dipshit, there’s been two whole presidential campaigns running on “securing” the southern border. Most illegal immigrants don’t cross that border, they come legally on tourist visas then stay after it expires. This guy had absolutely no critical thinking about what it actually meant for politicians to focus on the border with Mexico
