Using the subjunctive in Spanish denoting the passive voice action of the verb "fuck" in the original sentence. Although in Spanish you must use the reflexive impersonal "se" in combination with the verb "to go", i. e., the verb "ir". "Que se vaya a la chingada la migra".

@Degen_CPA Smart people can hold more than one idea in their heads at the same time: Example: ICE is unnecessarily aggressive. Social cohesion requires illegal immigrants be deported. Now everyone hates me. Also, I write using subjunctive. Almost everyone sucks.

@TheDisproof @DeborahMeaden Subjunctive tense. Emissions continue to rise, more energy is used each year, more forests destroyed, more ocean bankrupted of fish + sea mammals, more aquifers dried out, more productive land flooded, more lives lost, more irreplaceable stuff gone.

@PhiloCrocodile @apupeepo yes, optative sub. is a thing in latin (and probably my favorite usage because it denotes wish/possibility), but i was more specifically referring to the optative in AG as having its own mood separate from the subjunctive :)
