Why is the media not covering ICE resistance in LA?

The conservative in me thinks addressing this issue (deporting them) would lead to higher wages and better benefits in the ag sector, which attracts more domestic workers to work in ag. It also would increase investment in mechanization and automation. There will be a time of higher costs increased food prices but when things settle, they should stabilize.

However, on a broader level, I find this entire situation absurd. The United States has become far too reliant on migrant labor, having half of the agricultural workforce undocumented. We need to ask ourselves why this is the case. It ain’t because this is "work Americans won't do". It's entirely because, for over 40 years, corporations have been allowed to exploit cheap imported labor, keeping wages for these jobs disgustingly low sometimes even below the federal minimum wage.

There are plenty of Americans who would be willing to do this work, but not for $12 an hour under the sweltering sun of Texas. Offer $30 an hour plus benefits to harvest lettuce, and you would see plenty of people lining up for those jobs. The problem lies in the fact that neither Democrats nor Republicans have taken meaningful action for decades. BOTH sides have allowed "big ag" to exploit these workers, paying pennies per box harvested perpetuating this cycle of exploitation, and doing so in such a way that if it were to ever dare end, suddenly panic, omg, our foods gonna rot and we're all gonna die of starvation because we cant afford food! They have caught you in this line of thinking, so they will always get their cheap, exploitive labor.

In my opinion, the widespread abuse of migrant labor over the past four decades is a shameful stain on this country. But, just like iPhones and Nike shoes, most people turn a blind eye to the unethical labor practices behind the products they want, so long as the price is low. Just look at OPs post: concerns about "rotting crops" and "skyrocketing prices", and not a single care about the exploitation of these workers. This has been ignored for decades and now that there's a policy threatens to send them home, we just get all up in arms because we might have to pay more.

It’s almost like saying that an economy can’t survive without illegal & low or no cost labor to farm the land. You know who else used that argument????

The Confederacy during the Civil War. Let that sink in.

I totally agree. Those whites from the upper Midwest who started the end of slavery should be made saints. I think the problem is a little deeper than big ag though.

A problem is that even the ones that come here on Visa decide they don't want to work on the farm. They're just like lazy Americans you know. ICE is being protested in LA not Central Valley.

I saw one sitting in an air-conditioned restaurant the other day. Then all the bogus economic arguments can't make any money because dairy and manufacturing aren't seasonal, and they can't hire temporary labor. Can't find skilled labor etc. You can't have labor shortages in all sectors at the same time. Doesn't make any sense. Labor shortages don't make any sense in a free market.

It's globalism, they won't defend borders, but trespass on their property you better watch out. They think they own the means to production. Oh, your schools, pools, libraries and roads, that's just commons you can pay for that.

I was hit by guy on a temporary visa going fifty in a 25 caused a three-car pileup. Government subsidized insurance wouldn't accept the claim had to go to court to get them to pay.

+1000 happens all the time. The temp work “disappears.” The illegal doesn’t know road rules nor car and rams others, runs off, you pay for everything.

Yesterday, two pick up trucks full of ICE agents, rammed a car with three American citizens in it. Upon discovering that the victims were US citizen, the ICE agents drove away. Guess who is left holding the bag? What was your point?

Hey, bud. You are lying or wholly uniformed.....Let's hear the real story.....

Twitter is propaganda for Trump and the Republican
Only RWNJ use Twitter

Also, what's your defense of the ICE agents arresting immigrants at their immigration court appointments? You know, the process of getting citizenship the RIGHT WAY. The way that all you bootlickers said immigrants should do.

People who enter illegally need to be deported. It is a crime to enter illegally. And many here have committed multiple crimes. Arrest them, detain them and deport them.

And arresting illegal aliens outside the courtroom is the safest way for all concerned. If sanctuary cities didn’t exist many of the tactics used by ICE wouldn’t be necessary.

It is a misdemeanor to enter illegally.

It’s a civil offense to be here illegally.

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/is-illegal-immigration-a-crime-improper-entry-v-unlawful-presence/

This is much ado about nothing and is just cover for white supremacy and a point to normalize authoritarianism.

I don’t really give a damn about your thoughts. It is a crime to enter the US illegally. We have laws. These people have broken them.
Others are doing it the right way - they are doing the paperwork and paying the fees and waiting their turns.

I’m truly sick of the people here who will say pretty much anything to justify illegal immigration. You are the problem. We have probably upward of 40 million people present illegally because nobody wants to go to the effort of finding and deporting people who have broken our laws. It’s about damn time someone is doing it.

Np here. The pp is not posting their thoughts. It is fact. It is a misdemeanor for a reason. When people are fleeing violence and murder with their families, we don’t actually want to stop them from doing so. But we do want to hold them accountable for getting through the process once they are here. Therefore, it is a misdemeanor. This is the unspoken part. We never expected the “tired, poor, and huddled masses” to have fees paid and paperwork in hand.

Every president goes to the effort to deport. You only know about Trump’s efforts because he is the only one who does it for the TV ratings. Obama was known as Deporter in Chief. I don’t think that was his favorite nickname/title. It is Trump’s dream to be called that. If you care so much about the numbers, please compare actual, verified deportation numbers- not the arbitrary, ridiculous numbers Trump spews with absolutely no evidence. The real numbers will surprise you.

What we NEED is immigration reform. Long term solutions. This is what Biden tried to focus on, but this country doesn’t have the patience for long-term solutions. We just want to compare scores and feel like our “team” is “winning”. We don’t want both teams to be successful. We want our team to win while the other falls flat on its face, even at the detriment of the country and our children’s future.

Regarding the bolded.....That is NOT what happened the past 4 years and you damn well know it. If they were "fleeing violence and murder" they would have gone to the nearest country to claim asylum. They didn't. Instead, they RISKED violence and murder by paying the cartels to come into the US.

If you really don’t know that millions of people are fleeing horrifying and dangerous conditions in their country and don’t understand why they would come to US instead of going to the nearest country- then your knowledge of the world is seriously lacking. Please learn about the rest of the world outside of what your maga bubble wants you to know/think.

Sure, this is going to include some bad actors. It is the president’s job to find those bad actors and get them out while providing a path for those who are genuinely here for a better life. Remember all those gang members and rapists Trump set his sights on? Why isn’t he out there getting those guys rather than pulling parents from their kid’s 5th grade graduation and amubushing people showing up for their hearings?

My Lord you are clueless.
They came to the US - and paid the cartels a lot of money for doing so. Simply doing that is risking life and safety. Sorry - your argument doesn't cut it.
And, it is not up to the president - or anyone - to provide a path for a better life for those who entered illegally.
If you are unaware of all the gang members and criminals that have been arrested, let me introduce you to one person who is tracking some of the arrests....

And, I presume you are unaware of many of the violent criminal illegal aliens they have arrested in LA the past week.
Here are just a few.

Dude. Absolutely nobody is calling for violent criminals to be protected from deportation. Nobody. It’s all the innocent people who are being rounded up right along with them that people are protesting. And don’t say they are all criminals because they are here illegally. That’s lame, simplistic, and inaccurate. The question is - why doesn’t Trump only focus on these violent criminals? I mean, he seems to think they are on every street corner, so sounds easy enough. Why waste time on hard-working parents and their children when you can drive another half block and break up a violent gang or cat h a rapist in action?

The hell they aren't.
The nuts in LA who are protesting are calling for the release of all the people who have been arrested. All of them.
And, to abolish ICE.
These are YOUR people. These are Democrats.

They are calling for Trump/ICE to do this the legal, safe way. Trump seems to have a lot of evidence against these criminals. It’s what he campaigned on. So why not go after the dangerous ones through a safe and legal process? Why do it in a way that puts others in danger? Why does it always need to be a made-for-tv moment?

Take a look at Obama’s deportation numbers. He managed to do so without mass protests, tear gassing Americans, calling in the marines, national guard. Do you ever ask yourself why Trump can’t do anything without making it a reality tv episode?

They are MAGA and proud to be terrible humans.

OK. Tell us.... what other laws is it ok to break?

Laws against.....
Theft? Petty larceny? Shoplifting? Assault? Murder?

Which laws are not important enough to enforce? Give us details.

If your child was critically injured and there was no emergency service nearby, would you drive the speed limit to get them to the nearest hospital? Or would you get them there as quickly as possible and deal with the legal consequences later?

OK. You have come up with an instance where one might break traffic laws. Although, most people would say wait for an ambulance or police because the last thing you would want to do is get into a traffic accident speeding down the road.
But, that is not a good example of why an illegal alien would break our laws and enter illegally.

The GOP controlled Supreme Court has ruled and affirmed that simply being in the country illegally is not in, and of itself, a crime. So you are starting with a false premise.

The entry was illegal, unless they are a visa overstay.

He would need to incorporate several agencies and bring in the most qualified people to run those agencies. He would need to cooperate with leaders of other countries. He would need a plan to prioritize criminals and then people who haven’t been here long (see Obama plan). He would need to enlist LE and investigators to find those who are dangerous. He would need to come up with a plan to fill the jobs left behind and to deal with rising cost of groceries (old-fashioned word). He would need to pick up where previous presidents left off and already got the ball rolling.

But he does not have the knowledge, attention span, skills, or respect from experts and leaders that he would need. So instead, we pull parents from their kids. We pull hard-working employees from their job. It all looks the same in tv, so who really cares?

Trump has done all of these things. The arrests of people at hearings is to get people who are recent entries. They drop the case, and this reverts their status to an expedited removal, no more due process required.

Because the sanctuaries are not holding the criminals to be picked up by ICE. They are being released into the streets, so ICE has to go into the streets to get them. Anyone else picked up alongside will also be deported.

An immigration court appointment is not the same as a citizenship appointment. These are recent arrivals who could and should have been immediately removed, but Biden instead let them into the country on parole.
Trump administration has instead dropped the case, and with no case pending they turn into expedited removals. For expedited removals, there is no more due process required.

Sure but many people who are being deported did enter LEGALLY under our immigration laws (temporary protected status). Trump has just revoked this status for many and that is what has suddenly made many (perhaps almost a majority - we will never know bc the Trump admin is not disclosing details) of these people “illegal”.

Please do some research and reading before falling for the MaGA talking points.

These people are not being arrested. They are being notified and given a date with which to leave.

Are you serious with that comment???? You think the groups funding these leftists were going to riot during the Obama years?? They didn't even care when he was using drones to kill thousands overseas without "due process" - or did you forget the Obama "kill list", which included American citizens???

Plus why they remitting billions from their illegal cash oat jobs to build new houses for their extended families in their “violent and murderous homeland.” And sending money over for their cousins children’s clothes and Catholic schooling.

They’re here to make more cash per hour and send it back for as long as America’s illegal immigration laws are not enforced and the gravy train continues.

If you worked in another country, would you not send any money to your family back home?

No. Why would I?

What? Are you kidding me? If you had to work in another country for a period of time and your spouse/kids could not come with you, you would spend everything you made in that country without providing for your family back home?

We never expected the “tired, poor, and huddled masses” to have fees paid and paperwork in hand.

Every president goes to the effort to deport. You only know about Trump’s efforts because he is the only one who does it for the TV ratings. Obama was known as Deporter in Chief. I don’t think that was his favorite nickname/title. It is Trump’s dream to be called that. If you care so much about the numbers, please compare actual, verified deportation numbers- not the arbitrary, ridiculous numbers Trump spews with absolutely no evidence. The real numbers will surprise you.

What we NEED is immigration reform. Long term solutions. This is what Biden tried to focus on, but this country doesn’t have the patience for long-term solutions. We just want to compare scores and feel like our “team” is “winning”. We don’t want both teams to be successful. We want our team to win while the other falls flat on its face, even at the detriment of the country and our children’s future.

Regarding the bolded.....That is NOT what happened the past 4 years and you damn well know it. If they were "fleeing violence and murder" they would have gone to the nearest country to claim asylum. They didn't. Instead, they RISKED violence and murder by paying the cartels to come into the US.

If you really don’t know that millions of people are fleeing horrifying and dangerous conditions in their country and don’t understand why they would come to US instead of going to the nearest country- then your knowledge of the world is seriously lacking. Please learn about the rest of the world outside of what your maga bubble wants you to know/think.

Sure, this is going to include some bad actors. It is the president’s job to find those bad actors and get them out while providing a path for those who are genuinely here for a better life. Remember all those gang members and rapists Trump set his sights on? Why isn’t he out there getting those guys rather than pulling parents from their kid’s 5th grade graduation and amubushing people showing up for their hearings?

My Lord you are clueless.
They came to the US - and paid the cartels a lot of money for doing so. Simply doing that is risking life and safety. Sorry - your argument doesn't cut it.
And, it is not up to the president - or anyone - to provide a path for a better life for those who entered illegally.
If you are unaware of all the gang members and criminals that have been arrested, let me introduce you to one person who is tracking some of the arrests....

And, I presume you are unaware of many of the violent criminal illegal aliens they have arrested in LA the past week.
Here are just a few.

Dude. Absolutely nobody is calling for violent criminals to be protected from deportation. Nobody. It’s all the innocent people who are being rounded up right along with them that people are protesting. And don’t say they are all criminals because they are here illegally. That’s lame, simplistic, and inaccurate. The question is - why doesn’t Trump only focus on these violent criminals? I mean, he seems to think they are on every street corner, so sounds easy enough. Why waste time on hard-working parents and their children when you can drive another half block and break up a violent gang or cat h a rapist in action?

The hell they aren't.
The nuts in LA who are protesting are calling for the release of all the people who have been arrested. All of them.
And, to abolish ICE.
These are YOUR people. These are Democrats.

This is not based in reality. Please, take some time to reflect upon the thoughts you are having.

An immigration court appointment is not the same as a citizenship appointment. These are recent arrivals who could and should have been immediately removed, but Biden instead let them into the country on parole.
Trump administration has instead dropped the case, and with no case pending they turn into expedited removals. For expedited removals, there is no more due process required.

Np. If Biden let them in on parole, then they are simply doing what our government permitted them to do. You don’t have to agree with Biden’s decision, but according to your own words, they were allowed to be here. Why did Trump prioritize these people over the rapists and gang members he promised to go after? Simply to undo everything Biden has done?

Because no due process needs to be given. They are easy removals that require less resources.

How do people propose that ICE remove illegal immigrants from the country?

What should be done if people are surrounding them and not letting them enforce the law?

People who enter illegally need to be deported. It is a crime to enter illegally. And many here have committed multiple crimes. Arrest them, detain them and deport them.

And arresting illegal aliens outside the courtroom is the safest way for all concerned. If sanctuary cities didn’t exist many of the tactics used by ICE wouldn’t be necessary.

It is a misdemeanor to enter illegally.

It’s a civil offense to be here illegally.

This is much ado about nothing and is just cover for white supremacy and a point to normalize authoritarianism.

I don’t really give a damn about your thoughts. It is a crime to enter the US illegally. We have laws. These people have broken them.
Others are doing it the right way - they are doing the paperwork and paying the fees and waiting their turns.

I’m truly sick of the people here who will say pretty much anything to justify illegal immigration. You are the problem. We have probably upward of 40 million people present illegally because nobody wants to go to the effort of finding and deporting people who have broken our laws. It’s about damn time someone is doing it.

Np here. The pp is not posting their thoughts. It is fact. It is a misdemeanor for a reason. When people are fleeing violence and murder with their families, we don’t actually want to stop them from doing so. But we do want to hold them accountable for getting through the process once they are here. Therefore, it is a misdemeanor. This is the unspoken part.

They are calling for Trump/ICE to do this the legal, safe way. Trump seems to have a lot of evidence against these criminals. It’s what he campaigned on. So why not go after the dangerous ones through a safe and legal process? Why do it in a way that puts others in danger? Why does it always need to be a made-for-tv moment?

Take a look at Obama’s deportation numbers. He managed to do so without mass protests, tear gassing Americans, calling in the marines, national guard. Do you ever ask yourself why Trump can’t do anything without making it a reality tv episode?

Are you serious with that comment???? You think the groups funding these leftists were going to riot during the Obama years?? They didn't even care when he was using drones to kill thousands overseas without "due process" - or did you forget the Obama "kill list", which included American citizens???

Nut job alert!

They are MAGA and proud to be terrible humans.

OK. Tell us.... what other laws is it ok to break?

Laws against.....
Theft? Petty larceny? Shoplifting? Assault? Murder?

Which laws are not important enough to enforce? Give us details.

If your child was critically injured and there was no emergency service nearby, would you drive the speed limit to get them to the nearest hospital? Or would you get them there as quickly as possible and deal with the legal consequences later?

OK. You have come up with an instance where one might break traffic laws. Although, most people would say wait for an ambulance or police because the last thing you would want to do is get into a traffic accident speeding down the road.
But, that is not a good example of why an illegal alien would break our laws and enter illegally.

The GOP controlled Supreme Court has ruled and affirmed that simply being in the country illegally is not in, and of itself, a crime. So you are starting with a false premise.

And, you know what the penalty is for entering or residing in the US illegally?
Deportation. Yep. That is what they said.

Wut?
