ICE Raids

Sorry if you find it uncomfortable to follow Orange Hitler. But, we all make choices. It just so happens that you made bad ones.

Enforcing our borders is never a bad choice.
Sorry you don't approve of rule of law.

Anne Frank, and the people who sheltered her, didn't approve of the rule of law, either.

And the old who broke the law to shelter Jewish refugees are now thought of as heroes while those who ignored their plight are considered stupid and callous.

Once again, this is not the Holocaust, as much as the sickening idea seems to thrill you, and no one is hunting down immigrants, trying to kill them. Try saying it with me: every single immigrant, at the border or here in the country, is here voluntarily. You are not a hero if you’re hiding people who are here illegally. Sorry to burst your fantasy.

Anne Frank's family voluntarily immigrated to the Netherlands. They could have stayed in Germany but they chose to leave.

And the detention centers are NOT concentration camps. It’s truly abhorrent that Democrats are actually comparing any of this to the Holocaust.

Liberals have no merit to stand on. The conjure up images of concentration camps when it’s them who refuse to fix the issue for political gain. They’re in power in the house. Give the proper budget to do the job. They won’t, they like to see suffering for their gain.

Libra story short, the comparison is tasteless, horrible and liberals should be ashamed. Problem is when you’re dealing wii the truly shameless they have no morals.

I believe Anne Frank's parents were German citizens.

They had their citizenship stripped.

+1. She was German gown but had her citizenship stripped. Anne Frank was stateless, and the US denied her visa.

+2. Also, she wasn’t gassed. She died of typhus in a dirty, crowded, disease-ridden camp.

+3 And, she and her sister were separated from their parents.

Yes but they were FORCED into a concentration camp, snatched from their home/hiding place.

(Illegal) immigrants willfully go to great lengths to leave their homes and enter someone else’s. They know what awaits them. Just as Americans know that to get into *their* countries of origin we also have to undergo whatever process they have in place.

Today’s immigration issue is not the same as slavery-when people were brought here against their will to be treated like chattel—or the Holocaust.

No one is yanking immigrants out of their homes and forcing them here. They can actually avoid all of this by remaining in their countries and putting in the work to fix them-like developed countries had to do.

They’re walking and flying through several countries to get to the USA-land of opportunity and free assistance programs instead of creating them in their own country.

If I was fleeing gang violence in say Chicago, I’d move to another state! I wouldn’t go through 40 other states to try to force my way into another country-along with thousands of others who ironically happen to also be fleeing the same gangs (sarcasm). There are 54 countries on the continent of Africa but they come all the way to the US??

These people are out for handouts and an easier way of life.

They keep saying that asylum seekers have a right to request it--and that they should be allowed to go through the system. So, they go through the system and the judge says they are not entitled to asylum. But, they don't leave.

We have hundreds of thousands coming across the border seeking asylum--what is the answer? If we must let them in and they are not entitled to asylum, what are we supposed to do? Unlock the doors and turn off the lights?

Ask Anne Frank her opinion. Oh wait you can't. The US denied her visa request.

You really are misguided.

DP. How is that misguided? Because it doesn't fit your narrative?

I agree with pp. You are misguided and drawing a pretty poor analogy.

When these migrants are facing possible extermination by a country due to who they are, then we can draw a comparison.
That is not what is happening now.

The analogy is fine.

Here is another analogy that works. It's in the poem "Home", by Warren Shire:

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well
your neighbors running faster than you
breath bloody in their throats
the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory
is holding a gun bigger than his body
you only leave home
when home won’t let you stay.

What? Enough with histrionic BS. The U.S. is full of European immigrants (first generation, not centuries ago) who moved for all kinds of reasons. I mean I left for the US twenty years ago, leaving my home, because I thought professional prospects are better for me here. I was right. But my home wasn't the mouth of a shark and it was perfectly happy to let me stay. I go back every couple of years to visit relatives. Many immigrants from Central America do too, and build retirement homes there. Enough with the BS.

What about the U.S. citizens and other legal permanent residents that will undoubtedly get caught up in the raids because of their skin color? ICE is known to make mistakes. Guilty until proven innocent? You’re okay with legal immigrants potentially getting detained in chaotic raids?

They will show their papers and be released, if that were to happen.

It’s even more abhorrent that Republicans are sepersting children from their parents and placing them in crowded disease ridden concentration camps, and allowing them to die from communicable diseases, including typhus.

https://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/06/24/migrant-child-held-texas/

And don’t get me started on making human beings drink from toilets.

What is the difference between Anne Frank and kids being held in cages at the border again? Besides the fact that the Nazis were humane enough to provide water?

It’s a crime against humanity, and I pray that it ends with politicians and political appointees being held in overcrowded cells at The Hague.

If you show the government failed to provide proper notice, there's a way to deal with this. Raids are targeting people with final removal orders.

If there is no parent, HHS or the foster care system get the kids— and they are full. This all costs a lot of money. Foster care. HHS shelters. It makes no financial sense to prioritize self supporting families.

Nonsense. If only the kid is a US citizen, everyone can leave together. If one parent has legal status, he or she can sponsor another parent through existing legal avenues.

Kids can have two parents anywhere in the world, it doesn't have to be the U.S. Illegal migrants with a green card spouse have a legal avenue through LPR spouse sponsorship.

Since ICE can’t deport everyone here illegally, I’d prefer they start with people who are dangerous, have criminal records, and/or have removal orders signed by Judges. I’d prefer they keep families together and give American citizen kids the best possible shot at life. I’d prefer not to pay to House families where the parents have jobs and are self supporting when not in custody. I’d prefer children not be isolated and sexually abuse. Or overcrowded to the point diseases are spreading rapidly.

Everyone targeted by this raid has a removal order signed by the judge. American citizen kids have already received their best shot in life by being born here and can enter legally at any time.

No, because a percentage of people here illegally will self deport before being arrested.

doubtful

They'll slip under the radar, continue to work for cash, and live with others who will cover for them. This is how it's been for a long time - only now, it's "acceptable." And yes, the free healthcare incentive in CA (as noted by another poster) will keep them here.

As will Gavin Newsom’s instructions to illegal immigrants on “knowing their rights.”

Yep. It turns out that even illegal immigrants have rights to due process under the Constitution. What happened to “when we ignore the law, the fabric of society erodes”? Or does that only count when it benefits rich white men? I mean Epstein’s rights were certainly protected. If we can do that, we can get a Judge to sign a f**king warrant.
