ICE Raids Our Metaphorical Version Of Krystalnacht. Not Who We Are Or Should Be.

[TheMastersNemesis]

These raids are unAmerican to the core. And we have unleashed a monster with Trump and the GOP in control. Every day our international reputation slides more deeply into a pit. The Trump voters and supporters are saying that ONLY white RW Christians belong in the country. These raids do not just stop with undocumented workers they represent a larger agenda that targets progressives, LGBT, Democrats and other imagined undesirables.

The message the GOP and Trump are sending is that only they and those people who support them have a future in this country. And you have to look at the big picture when you see everything the GOP is doing. They support Trump and everything he stands for really.

In the end we will not have a country as far as I am concerned. I suppose it is part of the Bannon chaos theory. These raids serve not real purpose except to spread fear. Logistically it is not possible deport the millions of undocumented workers who are in this country now.

1. Not sure the raids are related to Trump.

They conduct these big "sweep" roundups periodically.

5. And all the

clingons who arrived with him.

8. Right!

We need to get rid of the lot of 'em....

6. What is happening is evil. The intent is to cause pain and chaos, and is only being done to toss red

meat to the racists supporting Trump. There is NO THOUGHT, at all, about the damage being caused in real people lives.

I grew up in Los Angeles county and have been exposed to the Latino community throughout my entire life. They are warm, kind, hardworking people, and to think of the chaos and fear that these damn raids are causing in their communities makes me sick.

7. There was a time when we fought wars to keep people like Trump from getting power.

Now, not only do they have power, they're drunk with it.

9. We'll have to see how the number stack up...240K deported last year, 235K in 2015,

316K in '14.

Last peak was 410K in 2012.

If this is Krystalnacht, it's been a few years in the making.
