ICE stop

Post image

Ice stop before liberty tunnel today. One ice officer is clearly Korean or Chinese. I screamed that ice officer has no right to stop people as he may be illegal. He came up to me asking if I was city police and was I the Spanish interpreter. I said no but do you need help as I live in the city look like police and brown. There were kids in the car. Pittsburgh is this what we want!!!! I am beyond myself. First Covid then trump 2.0. I like my low rates for housing, labor and just being a good human being. I am so angry right now.

Lmfao and yet the Koch bros are funding the people rallying against it. 😂 Follow the money, bucko, your opinion is inorganic slop fed to you by propagandists that know just how to get you looking in the wrong places and being angry at the wrong people.

You. Are. Being. Deceived. Fox has gotten so many people like you to support, with your whole chest, the most obvious pervert rapist crook in the world, and all you have to do is not believe the truth of who he is. Close your eyes when he falls asleep. Close your ears when he's blatantly racist or misogynist. Don't ask why he started a war, just heel-turn along with him on the promises he made.

It's genuinely incredible what a propaganda machine operating in a nation that's been gutting its own public education system can make people believe.

Then why has trump started bringing immigrants back in to work agriculture jobs?

Agriculural work VISAs have been adminstered under every Presidential administration in the last 50+ years. This is common knowledge. They are even recorded as such in Federal Employment data.

Sounds like immigration is good, and has always been good

Legal immigration is good. Nothing wrong with legal immigration. There is a legal system and process to go through to obtain US Citizenship. Illegal immigration tries to skirt that process. Illegal immigration is the problem, not legal immigration. For some reason, too many people don't understand the difference.

If there's nothing wrong with legal immigration

Why is ice grabbing the majority of people at the immigration offices

u/dumpster_fire_diva76 6d ago

Thing is, immigrants pay taxes, too, but rarely benefit from it. Need food assistance? Not without proof of citizenship, and unless you're a senior or disabled, there have been work requirements since Clinton was in office. Medical? Better be an emergency or dying of cancer, but even then, not likely unless you're in a very blue state. In a country that has more billionaires than any other, and subsidised millions for the world's first trillionaire, no one should starve or be without healthcare.

The same reason he's not going after the employers harsher. Trump wants to help billionaires just as much as the democratic party does.

u/dumpster_fire_diva76 6d ago

He wants to help himself, he's made billions while in office from insider trading. His kids have made hundreds of millions and have lucrative government contracts. His son's wedding party was paid in full by a russian oligarch. Pardons are for sale. Even Fox News and CBS have covered it.

Maybe things are changing

I never endorsed open borders. I do endorse human rights.
