You act as if the Hispanic vote is a single bloc. It is not. Several of my Hispanic neighbors from Argentina, Uraguay, Peru and other places are frustrated by those who didn’t go through proper channels. Heck, even a couple from Cuba who came in a boat and sought asylum are frustrated. And don’t forget Hispanics who have been here for generations. What these friends and neighbors with Spanish accents are frustrated about is being lumped into an assumption that they must’ve come without going through the legal process to be here. |
At our school there are so many FARMS students mostly from Central America they assume every kid is and gives everyone free breakfast in their classrooms to get them started faster every morning. |
PP, since you work for ICE, could you say more? You're about the only one on this thread who knows what it would really take to implement this campaign promise IRL. |

Nope. It’s absolutely true. 1930s during the Great Depression. As grandfather had enough money he brought them over one by one over the course of 10 years. |
Especially the raging men who invaded while shouting Death to America. |
Sure. There are only so many hours in a day and resources aren’t infinite. Agents prioritize certain people (gang members, rapists, murderers) over others (mothers, kids). A mass deportation announcement might deter future attempts at illegal crossings, but ICE will prioritize their agents time on deporting those who we really don’t want in this country like gang related associates. These tend to be unmarried males between 16 and 30 give or take. Now, implementation could be terrible and agents may be told to focus on shear metrics. In that case, it’s natural for agents to go after low hanging fruit to meet their numbers. If you’re an agent, would you risk your behind to target some dangerous gang member or just go after women and kids if it’s all the same for your metrics? That’s where things can become morally questionable. It also clogs the courts with appeals. |
You all think ICE would be the only agency involved in this effort? |
Well, that's what ICE will do. Read up on how they conducted mass deportations back in the early 20th century. So, if they vote for Trump and this happens to them, karma. Speaking of Cubans, they are the worst hypocrites in terms of illegal immigrants seeking asylum in this country. |
dp... who else actually rounds up illegal immigrants? |
I am familiar with deportations back then as I have relatives who were deported. I also have also known people who overstayed their student visas and were deported. They were all European. Everyone who comes here should be vetted and then vetted again before getting citizenship. I have no issue deporting people who do not qualify to be here. |
+1 seriously. |
All FARMs schools do this. My kids go to a Title 1 school everyone gets free meals, at least in DC. |

Illegals by state- California 2.2, Texas 1.6, Florida 1.1 million most in south Florida and New York 850,000. After that it New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada with 500,000 to 225,000. There are double or triple those numbers of legal immigrants in those states.
So California, New York and New Jersey will fight this. Florida, Texas and every red state will be busting down doors and moving people to concentration camps. So look at Texas 1.6 million illegal with another 4 million legal immigrants. About 20% of the population. There is a lot of cross over in these communities. The Red states will round up legal and illegal immigrants. This will be a sh#tshow. Places like Florida and Texas will confiscate property and arrest legal migrants. South Florida 70% of the population first language is Spanish. This will be a grifters paradise. Prefect for republicans and conservatives. |
