Twitter is hilarious, because there are a ton of posts over there saying "Superman wouldn't support illegal immigration" as if when his spaceship crashed he immediately started filling out paperwork

There's a great Drunk History episode about Stetson Kennedy infiltrating the KKK & passing on all of their 3rd-grade-mentality secret handshakes, passwords etc to be included in - or more correctly *ridiculed* in - Superman Smashes the Klan. A truly top-tier psyop.
Guy was an undocumented immigrant working two jobs to support his parents, and even though he saved people's lives, he was often blamed for problems of the day but did the work anyway.
Smallville made this a minor subplot lol. Forged documents, getting blackmailed over adoption papers. They had a whole episode about migrant slave labour, it was a weirdly centrist/conservative show that had this one liberal thread through the whole thing
It was a comic they never released with Martha and Jonathan going to the immigration office to fill out the paper work after the spaceship's crash was cleaned up.
That's the Superman movie I wanna see. Superman goes to check in, Ice tries to nab him, he goes absolutely bananas on them and then goes all dark superman and eliminates the entire organization.
He was sort of a Dreamer, wasn't he? Definitely an illegal resident. Someone should create a cartoon of Clarke Kent confronting a bunch of masked ICE agents. He was taking a good job away from some American too. 🧐

Yeah, the perfect avatar for xenophobia!
we could use a clark kent or two in journalism rn, let alone the laser eye thing
Masked. Military grade equipment. Carrying around kryptonite. Always side eyeing Superman...
