Fun facts about immigration in the US you might want to share with friends and relatives for no particular reason

The United States actually had open borders until 1924. There was no cap on immigration, and people were only denied access based on race and disability. (NOTE: Open borders means little to no formal restriction on movement across borders. There was still terrible discrimination.) (x)

The Immigration Act of 1924 had an overall negative impact on the economy (x) (x) and foreign relations with Asia, but Hitler praised it (x), because it was just blatant eugenics (x).

ICE didn't exist until 2003 (x)

Being undocumented is not actually classified as a crime (x). If it was, cases would be handled by the judicial branch, and defendants would receive the benefits of due process. But because it isn't, it is handled by the executive branch, and defendants do not get due process, in clear violation of their rights. That means no lawyers, no jury, and no real judge.

Immigration "judges," who are not required to have nearly as much experience or education in law as real judges (x), face no consequences for wrongful deportation, they are only really evaluated based on how many people they process.

While it's difficult to pin down an exact number, there have been an estimated 4,000 wrongful detention/deportations by 2010 alone (x - this one suggests a possible 20,000) (x - this one confirms over a thousand), with several reported on in mainstream media (Mark Lyttle, Pedro Guzman, Roberto Dominquez, Andres Gonzalez, Esteban Tiznado-Reyna).

In April 2025, there were several more confirmed wrongful deportations, including a 2-year-old citizen deported to Honduras (x) (x), a 10-year-old with brain cancer on her way to a medical appointment (x), and a 7-year-old and her 4-year-old brother with stage 4 cancer (x).

There were more deaths in ICE concentration camps in 2025 than almost any year prior, tying for first place with 2003 (x). If nothing is done about it, that number will increase in 2026.

I worked at Dunkin Donuts in the early 90s. It was my only non-computer job ever, aside from a summer in a factory, and I was fired after 2 weeks.

They had us bag all the 24hr old donuts, 20 dozen or more, and dumpster them. Every day.

But, I grew up in a trailer. I knew the poor kids. So I'd box 12 dozen (I worked alone) and walk behind the shop and hand them out.

Fun fact? That's not even why I got fired! Hahaha

When I wasn't servicing, I did some prep cooking in the kitchen for the bistro area at my first job (senior home). One day they announced they wouldn't be opening the bistro, so I said I'll just take the sandwiches I prepared home so that they don't go to waste, and my boss looked at me like I had farted in the soup, and said he wouldn't allow me to steal any food and to just throw it away.

Mind you, it was Friday, we didn't open the bistro over the weekend, and I couldn't leave any of it for Monday because it would've gone bad anyway AND we are required to dispose of it after three days anyway. He wasn't having it, and instead said snack on one or two, and get rid of the food after.

Yeah, you can imagine how much rage I had that we got rid of perfectly good, freshly prepared food.

everyone's always like "the media from my childhood that isn't good on revisit" but no one talks about the media from your childhood that IS actually that good and on revisit and you're like oh fuck oh shit that was masterful in technical ways i was too young to grasp but which still affected me nonetheless. and that explains why you're so prone to haterism. sorry they showed me the real good stuff first so i assumed all of the following stuff i experienced would be equally resonant. as if it's my fault

do straight people know that they can get divorced..?

lustcannibalism

conservatives are so afraid of being queer that they’d rather suffer through being married and hating their partner, like the amount of “I hate my wife/husband” jokes they make among their friends and in public and everyone just laughs it off? YOU’RE A VICTIM!

I've always told people, if two men getting married will somehow tarnish your straight marriage, then guess what? Your marriage is clearly shit to begin with. Stop blaming queer marriages, just because your own is crap and abusive.

These aren't the only examples, because you also have MAGA morons who cheered for deportations of people, a majority of whom were minding their business and working merely to provide. Then these same folks started crying when their own spouses were detained and getting deported; crying about how they didn't think this was happening to them, and how they felt "betrayed" by Trump once their own families and close friends were getting deported, and really thought begging Trump would change the outcome. Some were such morons, that they voted for Trump, then had a sudden change of mind when they themselves were detained simply based on their skin color, and still having the nerve to claim "This isn't what I voted for!"

The same people who also began to bitch and whine, when their undocumented friends either stopped talking to them, or businesses (including aforementioned farmers) had the audacity to act confused when these same undocumented folks stopped showing up for work or were outright refusing to work for them anymore, because they found out said employers wanted them deported or wanted them as their exceptions. Now these same horrid employers are begging for their employees to come back or apologizing, claiming they had no idea they'd become affected this badly.

Some so racist, while claiming they aren't, that they saw literally any brown people sitting across from them, talking in Spanish, and immediately started calling them "illegals" and/or claiming they were being harassed by them (again, these brown people didn't even acknowledge the racist's existence).

It may sound like a load of quackers but according to new research ducks have regional accents.

“Cockney” ducks from London make a rougher sound, not unlike their human counterparts, so their fellow quackers can hear them above the city’s hubbub.

But their Cornish cousins communicate with a softer, more relaxed sound, the team from Middlesex University found.

Ducks, like humans, are influenced by their environment, said Dr Victoria De Rijke, who has been nicknamed Dr Quack.

Her research team discovered the difference after recording the quacks of ducks at two separate locations.

The birds at Spitalfields City Farm in the heart of the cockney east London, were found to be “much louder and vocally excitable” than the ducks recorded on Trerieve Farm in Downderry, Cornwall, said English language lecturer Dr De Rijke.

“The Cornish ducks made longer and more relaxed sounds, much more chilled out.

“The cockney (London) quack is like a shout and a laugh, whereas the Cornish ducks sound more like they are giggling,” she added.

“London ducks have the stress of city life and a lot of noise to compete with, like sirens, horns, planes and trains.” [x]

Also one of these things has style, and is pretty darn cool. A living piece of history.

And the other is a stupid looking dangerous chrome box.

And the best part is that the living piece of history can sit through a freaking car wash.

Meanwhile the mobile dumpster can't even survive a one, even when put in the mode INTENDED for being washed. (Yes, a freaking car that has a "car Wash mode" 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️)
