Yet another reason for female tourists to avoid the US.

This is what Republicans mean when they say they are restoring Traditional American Values.

It's the MAGAnite thing to do.

This idiotic ukase prohibits Permanent Residents (green card holders), as well as foreign tourists, from seeking Justice Dept assistance after they have been sexually or domestically abused.

Republicans certainly know how to pick a President.

The Republican Party isn't even trying to hide their pro rape policies.

Fact is, most republicans wouldn't have children if it weren't for rape.

Rape is only worth prosecuting when it's a citizen that gets raped.

Signed,
Republicans

P.S. ending Sanctuary laws is another way Republicans promote the rape of immigrants.

Eberly thinks it's funny.

Rape isn't worth prosecuting when an illegal immigrant does it.

Rape isn't worth prosecuting if it happens to an illegal alien.

Over the years, I have responded to several domestic violence incidents where the victim fled the scene without their wallet and ID. My city is about 40% Korean immigrants, and we have a growing population of Mexican immigrants coming to us from red states. In at least three of the above incidents I have aided immigrant women who were abused, and I never once thought to ask for proof of citizenship, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A THING! Should I have refused to assist them?

JFC, the police have a nearly impossible time breaking through and building trust in immigrant communities. The breakthrough comes from being fair, protecting the victims, and punishing those who prey on the weak. What ICE is doing is shattering years of hard work and good deeds in order to stoke the racist spank bank of Temu Goebbels.

The MAGAt Pedos just want to make it easier for them to rape women and children.

What else is new?

Sure seems MAGAt "traditional" roots find fertile soil in sex between cousins (and closer).

And this is what Republicans want.
Republicans want an American where immigrants have no one they can trust.
Where immigrants have no one they can turn to in times of need.
Just ask any Republican.
