[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the thing. No one gives a crap. No one cares about immigrants that much. Even the Hispanics that are here legally, do not care. We can’t go over there unless we play by their rules, then the same applies here. America can barely take care of their own damn people, let alone others. Take care of home first![/quote]

You say that, and yet... you're angry that you're being inconvenienced by something being closed, that you were apparently unaware was supported primarily by immigrant staff. So I guess you do care-- you just want it to be invisible.

The reality is that "legal" has become awfully tenuous these last two weeks. Tons of actions have been taken that are not "legal". The admin has talked openly about reversing naturalization (aka stripping CITIZENS of their CITIZENSHIP) and reversing birthright citizenship (which means, some folks that have a green card and are in the process of obtaining citizenship through someone with birthright citizenship might have all paths to citizenship revoked).

ICE raids are pulling in citizens and legal residents because they're basically rounding up anyone with the wrong color skin or the wrong name and sorting it out later. Folks that had their critical identity papers safely locked up now have to figure out a safe way to carry them ON THEM at all times, regardless of the mess or labor involved in their job. Or worse, kids-- how can you send a kid to school with their birth certificate or passport or residency papers? They will lose it. But what if you don't? Immigrants are being treated as illegal first, prove us wrong if you can.

We know you don't give a crap. Maybe you will when your food is 3x as expensive, a bunch of your favorite businesses have closed, and there is no lumber for building or repair and no labor in a huge number of industries. Oh, and when your retirement account is suddenly 1/2 of what it was last week.[/quote]
