Summary
Texas Republican Valentina Gomez sparked outrage after releasing a video proposing public executions of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes, claiming it would act as a deterrent.
The video, shared on X, simulated Gomez shooting a hooded dummy representing an undocumented migrant.
Her comments followed the arrest of a Guatemalan immigrant for a subway murder in New York.
Known for far-right provocations, Gomez’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political figures and activists, with some praising her stance while others condemned it as hateful and extreme.

Shouldn’t the headline be “Republican said something terrible to get the media talking about her, and we’ve done exactly what she wanted”?
How about televised executions of politicians that do not do their elected jobs
Depose
i’m proposing public executions of Nazi scum, cool?
Make this law
Accepted!
Next week official definition of nazi changed to “Either left or right wing extremist not affiliated with federal goverment of USA” ^^
And if you call these people anything else than “moderate, christian-democratic, center-right, conservatives”, you’re being dramatic…
She hopes by showing her ass that the whites won’t spend her as a token.
But they will.
Dumb fascist cunt.
Wtf is up with these Hispanic nazis?
two major things to keep in mind
a) majority of hispanics in the US have been there multiple generations. while they may hold some varying level of ties to their family’s home country, they’ve more or less been mostly americanized and are effectively just a different flavor of “american”
add in the fact that these are a more socially conservative people who more likely to be religious and it makes sense why they have been moving to the right. GOP could have taken advantage of this a long time ago. I think it’s strange that Trump is the one to finally harness this group of people, but I guess reality is stranger than fiction
b) the US isn’t stupid and it imports right-wing anti-left people. For example from Cuba or Venezuela. Miami has a massive Cuban population and they’re all descendants from people fleeing the communist Castro regime. The Cubans are bred from birth to believe the Castro regime was evil and they’re told all about the horrors (conveniently nobody remembers the just as brutal Batista regime, coincidentally supported by the US).
So all it takes is for there to be a connection between “democrats -> left wing -> communist” and all the Cubans turn against the DNC.
what I find fascinating is that you talk to a young Cuban who is one or two generations separated from Cuba, they have all sorts of horror stories and hatred for the Castro regime.
But you talk to an old-timer, someone in their 60s or 70s and they have nostalgia and nuanced views. Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.
If we’re gonna summarize all of this I’d just say this- assimilation. We’re watching the process of how Irish went from “ethnic minority” to “white” and hispanics are going through a similar process
Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.
I’ve never met anyone personally who speaks fondly of their time in the USSR. Tankies online who are too young to have lived through it are the only ones.
I mean it might not be too relevant (as I know the majority of the Hispanics youre referring to aren’t Spanish per se), but I’d like to remind people that Spain was a fascist dictatorship up until 1975, when it became a democracy.
I’m sure they at least produce media that’s enjoyed in other Spanish speaking countries idk but nonetheless just a thought I had
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francoist_Spain
(It’s really not related to the thing here the right wing propaganda Hispanics in America are being subjected to probably isn’t from Francoist Spain
Spain didn’t exactly just become a democracy after Franco’s death in '75, things were very iffy well into the eighties, or at least until they joined NATO in '82. The military even attempted a coup in '81.
Thanks for the elaboration.
I just quoted a Wikipedia generalisation.
I’m not too well versed in Spanish history
kinda stockholm syndroming. german christmas market attack was a saudia arabian refugee voting for the newer german Nazis “AfD” that also Space Karen likes.
so the dumbest of migrants seem to overcompensate their lack of identity.
🤦♂️ Of course she moved to Texas.
I wonder how Democrats will triangulate a compromise with this.
What if we just execute them but make it a Pay Per View event? We can raise money for helping out other immigrants
Pelosi’s portfolio suddenly has like a billion shares of whichever streaming service
Being strung up with them, hopefully
When even the Department Of Justice publishes reports that more severe punishments, explicitly including death sentences, don’t work for deterrence (see points 4 and 5 of their summary), people really should start thinking about better ways to prevent crime.
(Personally, I’d propose tackling the conditions that force crimes, particularly those of desperation, as well as reevaluating the catalogue of what really counts as crimes, particularly if there’s no victim, but on here, I’d be preaching to the choir.)
honestly i’m a little radical here. i think we should totally eliminate prisons
there should be two fundamental types of crimes
-
ones that are forgivable and we deem the individual capable of rehabilitation
-
ones that are unforgivable and we deem the individual incapable
in the 2nd case, we should just execute quickly and quietly. this should be reserved for the extreme cases. you know, those guys that chop up their parents and start eating their ears or the ones that abduct little girls for who knows what. what qualifies for this can be debated, i’m not surely exactly where we draw the line. for example should rape count? should a murder of passion count? i don’t know
in the first case, we should take all the money we spend on prisons and instead focus it into rehabilitation programs. so for example let’s say an addict is caught shoplifting. instead of hauling them off to prison, forcibly put them in a rehab center to detox. then put them in some sort of public housing and give them a job, give them free methadone, etc.
-
tackling the conditions that force crimes, particularly those of desperation
aka corpos making less money, never happen
they should. but then again it is america…so they won’t. f’yeah. idiocracy is coming. have some raw milk.
Are we talking about her? Who got 6th in the elections ? who even has this photo?
I just can’t laugh.Man, the headline is really leaving a critical criterion out to get more clicks, isn’t it? (I’m blaming Newsweek for this, not OP.)
They’d get fewer if you actually said what that was instead of alluding to it
If I do this but it’s the CEO of a health insurance company, then I’ll get sued out the wazoo.
Luckily she’s never been elected to anything so far.
She’s a Colombian immigrant herself apparently and still has the accent so I’m not sure the racist crowd she’s appealing to with this message is going to rally behind her as opposed to whatever other Republican is running.
She was wealthy enough to get elected. She’ll likely just be able to skate on out once someone realizes that she’s on The List.
That’s what some Jews thought too…
