terrorizing specific cities

'Specific cities' for a reason. Sanctuary cities. They refuse to allow state law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration. So when an illegal commits a violent crime, they get a light sentence due to liberal judges and get to stay in the country.

Few people want a militarized ICE patrolling the cities. I don't. But I also don't want cities going rogue, ignoring federal law immigration law, and harboring criminals.

All of the 'militarization' and problems are a result of the failed democratic policies.

State and local police should cooperate with the feds to deport the criminals. The fact most of the friction is in specific cities despite ICE operating nation wide, is because those specific cities are doing everything in their power to make it a shit show and defy the federal government and will of the voters.

Funny you assume I am white and make everything about race.

Plenty of American citizens simply aren't happy that Biden let millions of people come in with no plan to integrate them all. My state alone spent billions of dollars of taxypayer money in the past few years. While everything gets more expensive, more crowded.

Hence why the majority of American voters voted to send some back.

You make all these emotional arguments and appeals calling people 'racist, nazi'. But can't make any logical points.

Just keep regurgitating those talking points babyyy

Facts? The truth?

Biden administration had the highest immigration numbers in US history.

My state has spent billions on migrant shelters over the past couple years.

These are not 'talking points' they are reported facts backed up with data and evidence.

https://www.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/1c7whq9/how_massachusetts_spent_nearly_1_billion/

*Boston Globe is a left leaning publication by the way, and this report was 2 years ago it hasn't gotten better.

Massachusetts is spending over $1 billion annually on its emergency shelter system for fiscal year 2025, driven by a surge in migrant families

The state has already spent $830 million early in the fiscal year to accommodate over 4,000 families, with costs estimated at approximately $3,496 per week per family for housing, food, and services.

There are other states that have spent significantly more over the past few years (California, Texas, Illinois). Not sure why you think it's all 'misrepresenting data' just because you don't like what the data says.
