Summary

Jasmine Mooney, a 35-year-old Canadian woman, has been detained in U.S. immigration facilities since March 3 after attempting to enter with an incomplete Trade NAFTA work visa application.

She was initially held at San Ysidro border crossing before being transferred in chains to detention centers in San Diego and Arizona.

Her mother, Alexis Eagles, reports inhumane conditions including overcrowded concrete cells with constant lighting and inadequate facilities.

Business partner BJ McCaslin called the situation a “nightmare” while Global Affairs Canada confirmed they’re aware but unable to intervene in U.S. immigration matters.

    If this is how they treat a white Canadian businesswoman, imagine what they’re doing to non-white migrants. System’s rotten to the core.

        Channel five is fucking wild. I love it.

        Bald and bankrupt did a video that is much more in depth on the trail the illegal immigrants use. Anybody who’s willing to go through that hell to get to the States isn’t someone in worried about paying welfare for, those people got fucking gumption.

          It’s depressing how much better Americans the illegals often are compared to the native trash we have in the south.

          They should be terrified of great replacement, that’s like upgrading from a burning pinto to a Bugatti.

            They are terrified. The US got Texas with great replacement in the 1840’s. White people came legally at first and then streamed across the border overwhelming the natives and Mexicans and they brought slaves and when Mexico told them slavery is illegal they declared the Texas revolution and more white Americans came to help fight it (including Davy Crockett) and they won and a few years later the US annexed Mexico

            They fear Mexicans doing the same thing back. They won’t, but conservative white people don’t believe that.

              You are giving them too much credit, they didn’t study history. Conservatives fear them because their world is so small and the unknown scares them. They’re terrified because they’ve never been abroad, they live their whole ass lives knowing the same people they grew up with, driving the same roads, working the same shit job.

              They don’t understand everyone is just a person.
