“… The Eswatini government declined to say whether any payments were made as part of the arrangement.

The US is the fourth largest market for the country's biggest export, sugar. Analysts suggest that Eswatini may be trying to safeguard this trade and avoid the imposition of tariffs.

… Previously known as Swaziland, Eswatini is a small, landlocked country that is surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. It has been led by King Mswati III since 1986.…”

The claim that it's happening because of skin tone is your opinion and nothing more. There have been white people picked up also. Yes, most of the people here illegally have come from Mexico, Central and South America and are brown skinned. Because of their proximity to the US, they have the easiest path to sneak/get into the US and be here illegally.

Not many people are looking to escape Denmark or Canada. :rolleyes:

Good try, though.

One would assume most people here illegally are ... "brown".

I suspect they dropped Mexican as a racial category because it literally was never a recognized racial category.

Even today, if you select "white" on some online forms, likely some government forms, they'll have multiple subcategories "White - Hispanic", "White- non-Hispanic", "White - ...."

I'm baffled as to why the claim that Mexicans are generally considered to be white is so controversial that a debate has carried on for multiple pages.

So, just to be clear, Hispanics should be considered “white” when you are in shocked indignation, but “brown” when used for profiling purposes?

Yes by me. Mexicans are brown skinned and apart of the Caucasian race.

Race is not a real biological thing, and there is especially no such thing as the "Caucasian race." Race is simply a social construct that has different meanings to different people over different times. Italians, Irish and Jews did not become "white" until mid 20th century.

But there is no question that ICE targets brown-skinned immigrants above all else.

I think most Americans still believe in the existence of race, today.

Or it's just a fact that most illegal immigrants are brown....

What the fuck are you talking about? Mexicans are most commonly mestizo. The "caucasian race" does not exist and never did except in the fever dreams of 19th century racists.

For the majority of all of our lives, there were somewhere between 3 and 5 recognized human races. Most Mex Mexicans, to varying degrees, we're a part of the Caucasian race.
