Im mad I wanna help these people. What can I do as I sit here having coffee. Been constantly thinking about them it makes me upset. In my area come growing season we have a lot of workers from Latin America to come and work the harvest.
Their children interact with our sons in school and out of school. Also when our daughters were in school. And theyre good people they never cause any problems.
This gestapo ice shit trump has me fuming. Terrorizing those who cannot defend theirselves.

They are horrifying.

then we ship them out to any fate that may await them.
I read El Salvador is executing those that have been returned.

(9,426 posts)are sent back home, maybe the Ice officers would consider doing their work in the fields? For the same wages? After all the crops need harvesting, and the Ice people will no longer be needed to deport workers. Just a thought.

(10,242 posts)And the fact that much of it is coming from the government is even more astounding. Trump has turned ICE into his own version of the gestapo.
Trump and his minions are turning this country into one that most of us do not recognize for its sheer hatred of non-white people and its meanness. Trump supporters are quick to say that people should come here legally, and I would agree if legal immigration were even possible for most people these days. The Trump administration has slowed applications to the point where there is a 10-year backlog just for people already in the system!
So what should people do when their children are starving because climate change has caused excessive draughtcertainly exacerbated by the USor who are in danger of being murdered by gangs? They cant wait 10 years. When Trump supporters have an answer to that question (other than saying just let them die, theyre not our problem even though we helped destabilize their governments with our policies), Ill be ready to listen. Im also ready to listen to why they think racism toward our own citizens is helpful to the country and just what it is theyre hoping to accomplish with their racism and hateful actions. We have millions of black and brown citizens who arent going anywhere. Racial hatred makes about as much sense as hating the full moon because its too bright.
Would do the same thing to dissenters as hes having done to immigrant's.
