Look, it’s stupid we went so long without enforcing our borders. People will get hurt in the meantime. Did you hear the guy on Jeopardy last night who was barred from Taiwan for a year because he overstayed his travel visa by 2 hours? Why is the US expected to take whoever comes?


Because we are not a shithole and we have laws against kidnapping people and deporting citizens. If this moron in the WH would follow the constitution and the laws on the books it would be a much different story.


I haven’t heard of citizens being deported.


Well that’s scary. I’m aware that people outside the DC area have no idea about national events, often, but it’s frightening to hear that even people here have no idea. Try Googling it if you’d like to become aware.

It was all intentional.


Remove them with due process. It’s the American way (or used to be). And imagine if Trump hadn’t killed the bipartisan immigration bill. We could have finally had immigration reform but because he wanted his political issue and to be able to create dramatic scenes for propaganda for feeble minded Americans, he killed bipartisan reform!


What part of the fact that Biden purposely flooded the country with illegal aliens because he knew it would take forever to process them out do you not understand? If you can even track them down.

And the border bill that went down in flames would not have helped. It would have continued many of the same bad policies that encouraged illegal immigration in the first place. Immigration at unsustainable levels, funding NGOs, sanctuary cities. No thank you. I voted for border and immigration enforcement.


The part where that is a lie and didn’t happen. I don’t understand the weird fake reality you immerse yourself in.

You are so brainwashed. The bipartisan bill was championed by some of the most right wing senators. Just because Trump and his maga social media army told you something doesn’t make it true.


Somehow I am the brainwashed one because I can see through the madness that is Democratic immigration "reform"? Remember, President Reagan got burned on this once. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.


So brainwashed. It was a bipartisan bill not a Democratic one. You support someone who cares more about his personal success and power than American concerns and principles.

She followed her husband and kids here when he came legally - and then he ditched her before doing her paperwork. Now she's probably going to be deported. Really awful.


Thank you for demonstrating why we are in this situation and why nothing will really change, since no one will confront the actual things that has engendered mass illegal immigration for the past 25 years, no matter how many of these TV reality ICE raids occur.

If people will get paid - - they will keep coming.

You rich, liberals love to place 100 signs in your yards as angelic advocates of the downtrodden, but you are hardly angels. You just want cheap brown labor to clean your houses, cut your lawn, cook your food, clip your nails and shine your shoes, then you have the nerve to call other people racists. You are carbon copies of a Jim Crow country club and are completely oblivious to that fact.

Then there's the flip side. The Maga hypocrites. The business owners who knowingly employ hundreds to thousands of illegal workers to pick crops, clean buildings, hang drywall and trim hedges, and still voted for Trump. Texas Governor Abbott will bus migrants all over the country, but he won't enforce e-Verify in his own state to ensure that workers are using real social security numbers.

If anyone really wanted to end illegal immigration, they wouldn't do it with ICE. They'd do it with the IRS. Tax, fine and jail anyone who is violating the law and find out who is doing it by going through the books.

Of course, that's never going to happen. So, here we are.

This immigrants are part of our communities. They prepare our food, build our homes, take care of our landscaping, replace our roofs, clean our businesses and homes, etc…

Brutally ripping them away from our communities is wrong and just plain evil.

It is beyond evil to tear apart families who are trying to follow the law by attending the hearings and proceedings, only to be snatched up right after a hearing like it happened yesterday.

Yeah, 2 hours vs. 20 years and 2 kids - totally the same.

Because we are a country founded on immigration. When your white immigrant ancestors came over, it was just fine and dandy. But now that non-white people are coming over, you suddenly have a problem with it.

Working at a carwash? Just leave them the hell alone for chrissakes, we got bigger problems.


Everyone they grab is at work. No one has weapons, there's no violence (committed by the detainee) and we are just supposed to believe they are criminals. Their skin color is the criminality. Plenty of eastern-bloc, Irish, Scottish people here illegally, but haven't seen them getting swept up.

Thousands of businesses give a wink and a nod and hire illegal workers. Our economy has totally incorporated these people to the point that many industries face extreme worker shortages and price increases if they are all deported.

So we've been sending very mixed messages to non-US workers. The law on the books says one thing, but every other signal says something else. And you cannot merely blame Democrat cities, as there are plenty of immigrants working southern farms, rural packing plants, and other jobs in "conservative" areas.

Blame the immigrants if you want, but you're fooling yourself if you think America wasn't in on it.


Exactly. Well said.

Republican elites secretly love all the cheap labor they get from illegal immigration.

Unfortunately, the bigotry currently on display is about as American as the immigration is. It used to be the Irish, the blacks, the Italians, the Catholics. Literally every generation of Americans HAD to have someone to hate and blame their problems on. Yet, somehow, every generation got weather than the next thanks to immigrants. Go figure.

You don’t claim ‘asylum’ fleeing for your life after traveling through several other countries that are safer than several us cities but don’t pay as well.. These are economic refugees using a loophole that was supposed to be for war orphans and has been exploited by US businesses. We need a work permit system that won’t depress wages. And anyone who thinks the under the table labor hasn’t depressed wages in the low skilled jobs sector is just clueless about blue collar workers.

But Congress hasn’t been able to fix it for decades. So trump is using every loophole he can to just shut it down completely.. It’s probably the number one reason he was elected (I didn’t vote for him) so we need to be honest about who is really not being democratic here.



Republican presidents and members of congress are why the immigration system has never been overhauled. In the end, Republican constituents could never get around to giving legal (non-citizenship) status to the workers that entered the United States illegally. So they let the problem fester into what we have now: politicized paramilitary raids.


Oh please. It is group affiliated with democrats who are funding what is going on in LA.


That is some fantasy world you live in.

Have you always America and its core values or were you only recently lobotomized and radicalized?


Do some research:

One of the groups leading anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is a taxpayer-funded activist organization with ties to the Democratic Party, while another has links to the Chinese Communist Party.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) — which received tens of millions of dollars in government grants during the Biden administration — staged a rally last week to denounce Immigration and Customs Enforcement arresting illegal migrants across the city, including those convicted of heinous crimes.

Protests against ICE have escalated since then, with more than 1,000 rioters taking to the streets, assaulting immigration officers, slashing tires and defacing public buildings, the Department of Homeland Security said, prompting President Trump to call in around 2,000 National Guard troops Sunday to quell the violence.



According to financial records obtained by DataRepublican, CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in government grants, mostly from the state of California, in the fiscal year ending June 2023, a jump from the $12 million it received the previous year.

Another group that was behind some of last week’s protests is the Marxist Party for Socialism and Liberation, which played a part in virulent past anti-Israel campus protests at Columbia University and which was once associated with suspected DC terrorist Elias Rodriguez.

PSL has ties to the Chinese Communist Party through funding from socialist billionaire Neville Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans, founder of activist group Code Pink, according to a 2024 report by the Network Contagion Research Institute. Singham sank millions of dollars into backing the groups after selling his software company, ThoughtWorks, for $785 million in 2017.

The FBI is investigating the groups who are funding this nonsense.


All you have described is a non-profit. What do you think they all do? Get grants and carry out their mission. From all admins.

The problem with what this administration is doing is that they are cancelling the lawful presence (including parole, TPS, applicants for asylum or other relief, and others) of people who are in the US, thus rendering them illegal, and then deporting them.

This is both unconscionable and directly targeting people who are trying to follow the (crazy!) immigration rules of the U.S. It makes me sick.


First of all - that is all on Biden. He totally corrupted parole and TPS
Secondly, they can choose to leave on their own and have a chance to come back. There is an app for that!

Wasn’t Trump the president before Biden? Did he solve the issue then? Nope!

.

ICE has picked up multiple people who were in the process of following the rules though. And do you really know which people who came here seeking asylum—legally— were treated appropriately for their status? I sure don’t.





lol you can't be "in the process" of following the rules, that means You ARE NOT following the rules.

Saying someone is "in the process" of following the rules kind of misses the point—if you're not following the rules yet, then you're not actually following them. It's like saying someone was in the process of obeying the speed limit by slowing down after they were already speeding. Or that someone was following the law by taking a victim to the hospital after committing a crime. That's just not how it works. If the law was broken, then there are consequences.

You are so ignorant about how legal immigration works in this country.

Good Lord. Study some history.
The people who came over 100 years ago were vetted. They were checked for disease and they had to be able to support themselves. There was a process and people who came followed the process.

That is NOT what happened the past 4 years. And, stop making it about race. We had tens of thousands, if not millions of illegal aliens from "white" countries breach our border as well. They need to go too.

Entering a country illegally is against the law... no matter when then did it. And, just because the laws haven't been enforced in the past does not make it right. About time our laws are being enforced now.
