No. People are frightened, confused and irritated. [/quote]

Illegals and criminals should be frightened but the good use is they have the opportunity to self deport. https://www.ice.gov/self-deportation

This has nothing to do with “illegals” or legal immigration. Everyone is afraid. Parents are scared for their children to be out driving. US citizens are worried about when Trump and Federal law enforcement will kidnap their children from the street or schools.

American is done.[/quote]

This. We all see them blatantly profiling people based on their skin color. I have a colleague who started carrying around her passport out of concern she'd be stopped because of how she looks.  [/quote]

She has anxiety issues and so are you.  The cure is stop listening to propaganda and get in touch with the real life around you and see people of all ethnic backgrounds going around their business uninundated.  Unplug from whatever information channels you consume. Making people afraid is literally their business model.  [/quote]

Listening to propaganda?? Unplug from information channels?? Get in touch with real life you say? I live in a neighborhood where there is a checkpoint set up. A delivery person was recently attacked by federal agents 300 feet from my house. I was walking down the sidewalk with my kids when it happened in front of us. This IS real life right now. Am I going to get stopped randomly walking in my neighborhood? No. I’m blonde and fair-skinned. I have the privilege of not being approached by groups of men wearing generic police vests and masks. But I’m worried for my coworker, families at my kids’ schools and others who are quite literally are just trying to live their lives. I’m worried for what this is doing to the city I’ve lived in for 25 years. These things are actually happening. Don’t stick your head in the sand and then act like this is all fake news. [/quote]

As countless others have been told when they don’t like it here, move. [/quote]
