The fact that ICE poses as local police creates confusion and fear of local law enforcement in immigrant communities.

in San Diego I told him when he asked me why I was there to support the undocumented immigrants. I also said that last week when that woman in National City (San Diego area) was dragged away be ICE, and the video went viral, that this is like Nazi Germany and I am from Phila where the Founding Fathers would never have imagined this for America. I told him that this is not the America I love and when ICE drags a law abiding citizen away that I have to take a stand. People do not feel safe at work or in their homes due to the hatred of fellow Americans towards them. They are afraid to call police for help for fear of being deported. Crimes by undocumented immigrants has been going down for years. Most of the "facts" about drugs and crime are completely false and the real fact are just the opposite. I almost started to cry but I focused on not saying "fucking moron" during the interview.

they will continue to come here, wall or not. For the employers, I'm talking stiff fines and jail time for executives. Of course that will never happen because it's "anti-business". If government is unwilling to stem the DEMAND for "illegals", ICE can go fuck itself. These immigrants come to the US for a better life for themselves abd their families, just like most white people's ancestors.

Of course, in general their ancestors came before there were an immigration laws. We wanted immigrants because generally they were poor and would do work the whites who had been here for a while would not do. Not all that different from now. Want someone to clean toilets? Probably an immigrant. Do landscaping? Probably an immigrant. Harvest produce? Put a roof on your house in August? Etc etc etc
