When asked about it he said, "I thought we were only going to oppress brown people. I'm white. This is completely unacceptable."

No, not me! I voted for Trump. I'm white! I'm whiiiiitttteeeee!
Landry says he goes to Canada at least once a year and has never had a problem until now.
What's different this year? Say it Landry. Say it.
Nope, today, he's brown.
There are woke policies this year that's why
Canada is almost as right-wing as their neighbour.
I'm sure he can find many likeminded people there.
"whatabout" something that has nothing to do with the story.
this moron again
The man, who supported President Donald Trump though he can't vote, says he "feels differently" now and blames the administration for his immigration plight.
“No, don’t hurt me, hurt those other people!”
I assume you mean those dastardly brown people. Down with the brown! /s
Dude isn't allowed to vote for legalization of marijuana, because he got caught possessing marijuana. Now I'm not sure how democracy is supposed to work, but I'm fairly certain he's supposed to be able to vote for representatives in a Democratic Republic to legalize such.

As a Canadian citizen, he couldn’t vote for president, but he supported Donald Trump.
“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again,’ and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he said. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”
And here I was afraid there was no justice left in the world. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
no no sir, those are not your American children. those are you illegal children whom will be deported soon.
thanks dismantling of birthright citizenship!
I still haven't wrapped my head around this one. Wasn't birthright enshrined in the constitution? How can it be dismantled?
Because they do what ever they want… it takes years to appeal a single case so they are just steamrolling hundreds and hundreds….
(And the Supreme Court simply takes a red pen to change whatever they want… )
Again, how? You can't take someone's citizenship away if not through court, right? What excuses are judges using to do that?
That’s the neat part… ICE doesn’t even have to go through a judge to deport someone. They can just kinda do it… and it’s been an issue for YEARS. Only now they were allowed to go into overdrive, completely unchecked.

So they don’t have to strip citizenship, they just send people to other countries and move on with their day. Then the courts are so swamped with appeals that it’s likely most will just give up and make a new life in the other country.
Mental! Thanks for the answer.
So is the separation of church and state.
And the right against unreasonable search and seizures.
But it turns out writing it down doesn't make it so. It's not a fundamental law of the universe. It has to actually be upheld and defended for it to do anything. Until the American people do something they'll just keep walking all over it.
The difference is that citizenship is about papers. It's a law about law. So how are they circumventing it to pull citizenship from people? Operationally, how is it done.
maga has infected the minds of canadians, probably albertans.
In 2004 and 2007, Landry faced charges of marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, but he says he’s had no criminal record since then.
Hoo-boy, sounds like he was asking for it, one of them criminals I keep hearing about. Thin blue line, right folks?
He was clearly an unacceptable danger to society with that kind of record! After all, people who broke laws once, forfeit all their rights, right?
/s In case someone wants to take my crown.
You sir, are not the world’s dumbest man. I doubt I am either, but I would bet I’m dumber than you.
We should fight about it.
Paper-scizzors?
I choose paper! Let's see what you pick!
This is exactly what he wanted, but too stupid to realize it.
🎵 O Canada, take back your MAGA lad 🎵
On the bright side, that's at least one fewer MAGAts in the country.
Unfortunately, he came back home, and now we're stuck with him.
