Greetings, all Senators, as well as my Senator X,
I'm told that LR148 is supposed to have something to do with the "concentration camp" Pillen and others want to create in Nebraska. Looking at LR148, it's pretty vague, so it makes it hard to know what exactly is on the line here.
Let me just be straightforward: we don't need anything like Alligator Alcatraz in our state, or anywhere. It's cruel and unnecessary. It's not "Nebraska Nice"... or is it? Do we pretend to be nice but really support hateful, xenophobic rhetoric? I'm opposed to that.
We don't need to be rounding people up and making them suffer. Our nation is in a reprehensible state, declining into fascism. We need to be sensible and maintain dignity towards all people, and protect human rights. One would think "protect human rights" is a low bar... but apparently it's not. And due process? That's supposed to still be our legal right, isn't it???
I am heavily opposed to anything remotely like Alligator Alcatraz in Nebraska or elsewhere. It's shameful and, if that's not enough, an abuse of taxpayer dollars. It was shoddy and inhumane and got shut down, as well it should. Anyone who supported it should be ashamed, at the very least.
I'm sick of xenophobic rhetoric meant to fearmonger against anyone who isn't white enough or English-speaking enough. It's wild, the caucasity (that's audacity from white people) involved in white people being against immigrants. Shame that the Trump regime doesn't want history taught in schools, or people might actually learn that white people (Europeans) stole this land from indigenous people. WE are the immigrants.
They might also learn about the concentration camps that we had during WWII where we rounded up anyone Japanese or any bit Asian and put them in camps, made them suffer illness and indignity, stole their property and altered the course of their lives.
Y'all know that Hitler was inspired for HIS concentration camps by what our country did to Indigenous people and the reservations we forced them onto after we stole their land, right? Maybe don't do stuff that Hitler liked.
If pleas for humanity don't move you, look what happened in Georgia. Some woman called in ICE on a Hyundai plant, for Korean workers who had the right to be there, to teach Americans how to do upcoming work, and has now jeopardized billions of dollars of industry and jobs for Americans. She destroyed that which she said she was trying to protect. Because racism, xenophobic, fearmongering, fascism.
Nebraskan farmers are already suffering thanks to Trump's tariffs. Maybe stop going along with a pedophile rapist who's gone bankrupt a few times and has had legal challenges to basically everything he's done because it's unconstitutional and he's likely never read that document, nor would he care to. The man is reprehensible and it's tiring to watch people normalize him, or act like this is normal politics. It's not.
Our moral fiber unravels everyday with him at the helm. And the people who support him, just to have some semblance of power? Just as awful to witness their humanity and decency shrivel up and disappear.
I think some of you have some faith-based beliefs that says something about Blessed are the Poor and the Immigrants and all that. Would be nice if you followed through on that whole "love thy neighbor" stuff.
So, hell no to any prisons for immigrants. No to rounding up people. No to ICE raids. No to this destruction. No to fascism.
Thank you to those working tirelessly to protect ALL of us.
Sincerely,
YZ
District XX
P.S. For any senators or their aides who want to try to "enlighten" me on how I may be wrong, just stop. Being on the wrong side of history isn't a good look. Plus, I'll post online your ridiculous defense of human rights abuses.
I'm just so very tired of pretending we live in normal times while our rights are eroded. Aren't you?
