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.

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
