I work in an elementary school in the area. We are giving parents fliers about what their rights are, how to prepare in case they are picked up and community resources.

You're ignorant. There is no reason to go door to door and "randomly" stopping Latinos to ask for papers. There's no reason to deport people who have been living peacefully in our country since they were children. That does not help our safety.


Try reading the article before setting up your very own strawman.


I read the article and there is nothing wrong with PPs statement. they are literally going door to door, going to schools, holding random checkpoints in unmarked cars asking for documents. They are not just targeting people who have been charged with a crime, as the administration has claimed. They have deported some people immediately, according to the article, and have detained others. Someone please tell me how this makes America more safe. I'd argue it actually has the opposite effect, as it freaks out the entire immigrant community, members of which will no longer report crimes to the police.

Very true. In Los Angeles, where there are tons of illegal immigrants, the police have stated that they won't be out checking for papers. They need and want the community to feel they can trust the police to report crimes.

This is like alienating the Muslim community in this country. Law enforcement agencies have repeatedly stated that we need their help and cooperation, that alienating them will make their jobs harder.

No.. that would be Trump/Bannon.

There is nothing in the article that days they are doing or did any of ose things. Why would they go to a school? That makes no sense. They don't want to be dealing with a bunch of kids,

It seems to be lost on many people that being in the country illegally is in and of itself a crime. So basically, yes, every illegal person is a criminal.

Are you a criminal when you speed while driving? It's the same type of "crime". Misdemeanor.

I think it's time to start banning white men since they commit the majority of crimes and mass murders.

Yes they are. Did you read the article? No one has a problem with the deportation of violent criminals but they are detaining and deporting people whose only crime was coming to the country illegally, some who came as children.

As recently as this election immigrant activists were talking about how Obama still hadn't done enough on immigration reform.

Welcome to the new normal.

Immigration activists said the crackdown went beyond the six states DHS identified, and said they had also documented ICE raids of unusual intensity during the past two days in Florida, Kansas, Texas and Northern Virginia.

That undocumented immigrants with no criminal records were arrested and could potentially be deported sent a shock through immigrant communities nationwide amid concerns that the U.S. government could start going after law-abiding people.

First they came for the Muslims. Now they're coming for the Latinos.

No having improper paperwork doesn't make you a criminal. But clearly it makes you feel good to tell brown people they're criminals just because of their country of origin.

They are NOT going to schools. Read the article. Kids are afraid, but there are no raids happening at school and there likely will not be. Schools are considered off-limits for ICE.

Not going to argue as it was in the article. Read it again. Even if they are here without documents, doing the random raids is not helpful to the overall safety of the country. It creates an environment of fear and feelings of alienation and resentment (and not only by undocumented immigrants). It's not what this country is about, and there are better, more humane ways.
