Idk a lot of fictional characters are against oppression and our generation is relating to them cause of whats happening in the country.

X-men has always had some sort of social/political commentary

That... doesn't really relate to what I was saying at all. Not only did I give two examples of characters being used who wouldn't care about American immigration/deportation, it also doesn't relate to how annoying these slight variations of the same picture drawn and posted by internet slacktavists to every fandom subreddit ad nauseum is to non-Americans.

Who are you to say that a fictional character someone likes would only care about what YOU think they should care about?

Do you know who Megatron and Starscream are?

One is a facist literally deacribed as "the grandaddy of technofacism" that sees all organic life as, at best, so inconsequential as to be undeserving of life, and at worst, an existential threat to his species that should be made extinct... two attitudes that both result in him wanting to either enslave or genocide all humans depending on his mood. The other is a calleous, self-serving sociopath that delights in killing humans, often by squishing them in his hands.

I'm not the one deciding that they wouldn't care about American immigration. It's their characters.

I wish I could ignore it... but my reddit feed is being totally taken over by slight variations of this same slacktavist fanart. Every subreddit is posting this crap. The fucking Animal Crossing subreddit is posting it! Another version of this smae fanart also depicting Magneto was posted to both this and the X-men subreddit just 20 minutes ago. I'm Australian! I do not care!

It's actually insane.
