And what gets me is the freakin’ audacity!

White folks who are out here bitching about so-called “illegal immigrants” as if their ENTIRE PRESENCE in this country isn’t the result of the largest, most violent act of illegal entry in human history.
They are the descendants of colonizers who crossed oceans and land WITHOUT PERMISSION. Who took territory by force. Said it was empty land because they needed it to be. They slaughtered millions and then built a state on top of the bones. They are the descendants of rapists who bred themselves into permanence.

These people are the living, breathing afterlife of conquest and the flesh-and-blood continuations of an unbroken line of trespass. They are literally the biological memory of people who crossed, killed, claimed, and never learned how to stop taking shit.
Every other group arrived into a world already violently reordered by them. Indigenous people didn’t immigrate. Enslaved Africans didn’t immigrate. Mexicans in the Southwest didn’t cross the border, the border crossed over their heads. Asians were brought, recruited, or barred depending on white labor needs.

The ONLY GROUP that came uninvited, armed, and intent on permanent possession were Europeans. By the very standards they now preach about sovereignty, law, borders, property, and permission, their criminal ancestors were the original “illegals,” and the founding of the United States was the largest act of unlawful entry in the modern world.
And now, these descendants of a crime scene have the gall to stand on stolen ground, police who belongs, call other human beings “illegals," and police the borders of the very theft that made their existence possible.
This country is barely two and a half centuries old, talking like it’s an ancient, eternal homeland. It stands on Indigenous land inhabited for tens of thousands of years and is policed by the descendants of people who arrived yesterday in historical time and immediately started calling everybody else out of place.

“Illegal” is just the word they use so they don’t have to say what they really are. They are the longest-running squatters in history, screaming about trespass from inside a house built on a mass grave.

Maybe if someone else says it, it might become comprehensible.
