    First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out because I was a legal citizen.

    Then they came for the LGBTQ members and I did not speak out because I am straight.

    Then they came for the non-whites and I did not speak out because I am white.

    Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

      You should amend this because it’s not just “illegal” immigrants they are after. The rhetoric around the Haitians in Ohio is clearly directed at any and all immigrants legal or not.

        because I was a legal citizen.

        Emphasis on was since they’ll probably just strip it and make people stateless or deport them to another country where they held citizenship. I’m fully aware they’ll go after DACA and temporarily protected people, and I’m sure naturalized citizens who are a shade too brown will have plenty of negative interactions with red state national guardsmen who have no idea what makes someone legal or not.

        You need to ignore that. It would mean Democrats are Nazis too. That doesnt fit their narrative.
