    I don’t really like it, makes it sound as if her rights are only important because she is useful.

      While I agree with your concern, I think it does help highlight how bad these policies are because it is impacting more than just “useless <insert hated group here>” or something like that. I agree that rights should still matter regardless, but focusing on the impacts helps signal to broader audiences.

      It’s important because the rhetoric of “we only want useful people” isn’t true. It’s not just about her, it’s also about false rhetoric.
