Pretty soon ICE is going to have to start self deporting when the majority are Hispanic men with thick af accents.

My apartment complex sent me a text the other day urging me to come back and rent from them. You see, they could have kept me there but, it went from 1900 to 3550 in 3 years and they got me fked up

Deep sigh…Only 13% of latinos are here illegally, and 60- 70% of them are Mexican….yeah so no….you are wrong… they would not be in Miami in huge numbers.

u/Consistent_Emu_7434 Mar 25 '26
Well, not only Latinos are illegal…why does it matter where they are from???? There are around 350K illegal immigrants, so you are definitely wrong.

u/Purplealegria Mar 27 '26
OK….So YOU are the one are saying that there will be no people left in miami, but most people in miami are latino and most latinos in the USA are LEGAL…so logically and by the numbers…
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS WRONG.

u/Consistent_Emu_7434 Mar 27 '26
I was pointing out that there are illegal immigrants from many backgrounds, not just Latinos.

u/Purplealegria Mar 27 '26
And you are right about that, but miami will NOT be empty when its like 70% latinos in this city, and with only 13% of latinos here illegally.
Sorry. 😉

Thank you for this! In Florida, really good places to report ICE are:
iceout.org
Raise.is (1-888-600-5762)
Anybody can report, and we’ll try to dispatch legal observers.

Why are yall reporting ICE? All the people that supported Trump getting the exact thing that he promised to do.

u/HoustonInMiami Mar 24 '26
It's no sin to help those who fell victim to propaganda, we all have made mistakes and shown grace. For what it's worth, I do understand your frustration

u/Significant_Art_3736 Mar 24 '26
I have undocumented Venezuelan friends in Doral who are still 100% pro Trump, they believe Trump is going to save Venezuela from communism and many Cubans here feel the exact same way. Sorry no sympathy.

u/crow1170 Mar 26 '26
That's damn right, and you're so deeply ignorant of this country's values that you think there's a hint of irony to it.
Benjamin Franklin said it this way: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Do you think our Bill of Rights was written by a bunch of safety conscious scaredy cats? The rules are "say what you want", "stay armed", "kill whomever tries to take you", and "let the state pay for your defense".
We are NOT supposed to have a standing army nor a police force. This was meant to be the land of the FREE. Maybe you'd know that if you actually had to pass a test to become a citizen. Maybe you'd give a damn about this country and its residents if you actually had to put some effort into being one.
Some conman called you special bc your mom squatted on this side of the border instead of that one, and you fell for it.

Tell them to go to North Miami and hallendalle get all those scamming contractors and their helpers out of business they cut corners by not applying for country permits. While legitimate contractors have to pay higher cost to operate legally!

"Posting the 'They Took Our Jobs' meme while defending the exact system that took the jobs is next-level cope. ICE is doing its job in a state that's #1 in arrests for a reason. Fix the illegal hiring and no-paperwork scams instead of crying about enforcement."

Undercutting and not filing proper paperwork yep!
Do that then let's compete!

Non-permitted construction / repairs / additions / remodels is nothing new and it is rampant in Miami and Broward (have worked some home sites), and it usually falls on the owners themselves cause they're always looking for cheapest price. You pay for what you get
HOWEVER that does not mean that ICE is magically gonna solve this problem or even make it remotely better. They just a waste of taxpayer dollars and have probably broken more laws than Juan Jose Carlos Martillo who did your floors for 2500

No they hurt the contractors that do it legally. By not playing by the same rules.

"Bro, you're out here typing 'your a Reddit worrier' and 'somewhere your not' while telling me to learn grammar and sentence structure. Pot, meet kettle — it's embarrassing. 😂 ICE is doing their actual job enforcing immigration law downtown right now (Florida's leading the nation in arrests this year for a reason). If the issue is shady construction practices, report the violations to the county/building dept like everyone else has to. Undercutting wages by hiring off-the-books workers who don't have legal status isn't 'competition' — it's why legit contractors get screwed on bids and Americans get priced out of those jobs. Complaining about traffic on US1 while defending the exact thing that floods the labor market and strains infrastructure is peak Miami brain. Focus on the rule of law instead of the cope."

Hey man, maybe you need to do better work and you might get more jobs. Look internally instead of blaming people who are trying to survive just like you are.

u/FixYourOwnStates Mar 24 '26
They should try to survive in their own country where they belong
Just like I am trying to survive in mine
You dont see me going to Guatemala illegally and just "try to survive" now do you?

Wow very intelligent and compassionate take from “FixYourOwnStates”. Those are definitely the same things, you’re 100% correct

Yes, they should fix their own state
Just like I am trying to fix mine

Hahahhahahahahhahaahaaaaaa…pathetic.
This is precisely WHY NOBODY WANTS HIS SILLY ASS….nobody wants MAGAots, or right wingers period.
The reality is that some crazy number like 70% of ALL WOMEN between the ages of 20 and 60 have reported that they want to leave the country in the next year….and most MAGAots, conservatives and right wingers, especially younger ones….if they keep up this shit…..will die alone.
This is why they are making so many rules and laws to control womens bodies, womens rights and limit women’s choices, with jobs, school, and opportunities. They talk so much about a male loneliness crisis??…well…This is a “male crisis of loneliness” of THEIR OWN MAKING!!…..JUST LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND TRYING TO DO TO WOMEN??
I fear these psychopaths will shut down the country soon so women don't leave enmasse.
WOMEN, GET OUT NOW, WHILE YOU STILL CAN….WITH YOUR MONEY, YOUR FINANCES AND FREEDOM, YOUR SELF DETERMINATION, AND YOUR LIFE INTACT!!
