[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump and ICE are nit allowing lawyers to talk or see their clients who have been arrested and held with no charges. Many are being deported. ICE is not even identifying the people! [/quote]

Why bother, they’re all undocumented and have phony fraudulent names, DOBs, and tax IDs.

See how that works both ways!?!? [/quote]

But this is just not true.  Many of those being rounded up entered legally under Temporary Protected Status (which was created under President Bush btw) which was a program designed to let people into the Us fleeing humanitarian crises while allowing Republicans to avoid actually dealing with immigration reform).   Under TSP immigrants are allowed to get social security numbers (using real names and DoB) and work legally.  They can also apply for permanent residency or student / work visa if they meet the criteria (family to sponsor them, assets, employment, school acceptance).   President Trump has revoked many of the TPS statuses (they are country and entry date specific and can be changed by Exec Order) immediately throwing many people (who came here legally and are working legally) into illegal status.

I am fine with you making the case that TPS should not have been created.  But it was (under a Republican admin). And since it was, it is undeniable for any human with a heart to see what is happening now and not think how cruel it is.

I don’t know where you live but where I live it’s mainly Haitian immigrants that take care of seniors in memory care and assisted living residents (and at home) and it’s Venezuelans who clean out homes.

Sure, maybe this has led to wage suppression BUT eliminating the supply of these workers so abruptly is going to drive up costs abruptly.   How is that helpful to Trump’s promise to bring inflation down?
