Quote:Why choose ICE and why choose to be upset about persons who are present illegally?
Because our socially left-leaning compassion is generally without borders. You can call them criminals for being undocumented all you want. I will never see them as an enemy worth treating like this.
Intimidating children?
Like putting blacked out unmarked cars with exempt federal plates in parking lots of schools of heavy Latino populations? Nice.
Raids on day laborers? Restaurants? Churches? Immigration hearings?
And since it's a MORAL opposition, meaning our belief that it's heinous, evil, and totally lacking in decency, it naturally has a likelihood to wind up at the door of the agency responsible.
The DEA also doesn't use its agents to intimidate 7 year olds at school.
it's MORAL. Federal enforcement be damned. Trump's federal enforcement is seriously messed up to many of us.
And some get so pissed and distraught over it's inhumanity they lose composure and lash out, ALL BASED IN THEIR MORAL OPPOSITION. They are not helping by losing the peace, but it is a natural place for this amount of anger to go. It really really pisses people off and makes them literally cry for the terrorized immigrants, and want to fight on their behalf. Like an underdog effect.
To paint this as un-American (or against law) is disingenuous. It's against how Trump is using law and his government and instilling fear in immigrant communities. It's against HIS government.
We think he is being un-American. And it leads to protected rallies near Immigration facilities that devolve into the collective anger Trump's approach causes.
Morally, speaking. Like, please tell me I'm not criticizing him here based on my moral position against his inhumane and deliberately sinister (even Satanic) tactics.
it's at my core on this one, and I imagine others are similar in that this moral opposition can't be shaken.
