The US Has Spent Over $500,000 on Hyper-Targeted YouTube Ads to Discourage Irregular Migration
A WIRED investigation reveals that the US Department of Homeland Security has deployed at least 30 YouTube ads since April 1 to threaten irregular migrants with deportation and a ban on reentry.
Wtf are ads? I haven’t seen one in years. I was at the doc last year and she recommended something and was really confused because I never heard of it. She kept trying to tell me that I’m familiar with it, and I told her that I have t had tv since 2012.
I can feel the efficiency.
Apparently irregular means undocumented?
I genuinely don't understand the obsession with immigrants, why has it reached a new fever pitch? Who is benefiting from all of the isolationism and hate?
Targeting immigrants is a way for racists to engage in racism without being labeled racists
The rich and powerful can loot all they want from the country and blame immigrants for it. That's been the American MO since day 1. First it was Irish, then the Italians, then the Poles, now the Hispanics.
A wiser man than i would be able to see that all those groups are predominantly Catholic, but I'm sure that is just a coincidence.
They are an easy target since people don't come in contact with them to often. And if there's a "separate" community in your country, that community is a great target for all the blame arising from current problems in society (poverty etc.).
Yes, the powerful are looking for a scapegoat and found it in immigrants and trans people
F A S C I S M
EDIT: Okay downvoters, what do you call this, then?
I didn’t downvote you and Im not going to argue that the USA isn’t attempting fascism right now, but this is just racism and that isn’t unique to fascism.
And they've spent more than that on these shitty ads, I've seen them several times on my local channels.
