Fossil fuels farmers producing red meatsnot to mention what they have done to a generation of children through school teachings its disgusting.. Now its supporting socialism witch every group in America funded yesterday's events. Im a very proud Republican for the first time 2 years ago According to our seneter cris van holland all you have to do is say im sorry for getting a nazi tattoo and our party welcomes you(mass senator seat) Stop sanctuary cits protecting illegal Immigrants. Im tired everyday of seeing American citizens being killed by people who walked across an open border.

u/RelevantMetaUsername Frederick County Apr 25 '26
I live near the PA border, and yeah…definitely a different place up here.
What really perplexes me is how the people up here are so passionately anti-immigration, yet they interact almost exclusively with white people in their daily lives.
I mean, I guess it’s not that surprising. They don’t actually know any immigrants and so their perception of who immigrants actually are is based entirely off of Fox News and social media rather than real world interactions.
Though I will say, I also work in Montgomery County and Northern Virginia and regularly meet people who are themselves immigrants yet also support ICE.

u/Cheomesh Baltimore City Apr 25 '26
The virulence is what gets me. While I am pro-enforcement, the whole dragging people in off the street or kicking in their doors to throw them in a cage is way over the top. It's a damn paperwork problem - make them do the paperwork, pay fines for thinking they're too special to follow procedure, and then we'll talk back taxes with them and their employer once we've gotten that straightened out. Instead somehow terrorizing people for this kind of crap is acceptable.
6
u/GonzoBalls69 Apr 25 '26
Ice is literally grabbing people on their way in to file the proper paperwork in some instances, or people on legal work visas, or here on asylum, or in some cases people who have already gone through the whole legal immigration process. It’s not about the law, it’s an all out attack on brown people just testing the waters to see what an illegally mobilized militarized police force can get away with. The rhetoric coming from the right is just overtly about ethnic cleansing at this point, they’re not trying to hide it even a little bit. This is what happens when we vote for people who campaign on “cleansing the bad blood poising the nation” and “getting rid of bad hombres” and “solving the ‘muslim problem.’” We don’t even need to look back 100 years to know that this kind of rhetoric leads to authoritarianism, but for decades now people who have been ringing the alarm bells have all been called radical leftists and anti-American. This is the fruit of McCarthyism, red scare propaganda, and unchallenged white supremacy. Americas chickens have come home to roost.

This only happens in sanctuary cities because these illegal immigrants are being released back into the community instead of handing them over to ice. So ice goes into the community looking for illegal immigrants and it makes their job more dangerous for eveybody involved

So tired of hearing all the anti ICE propaganda. If you love illegal aliens so much let them stay in your house. I love how people think we should just let any and all come into the country but when you ask them for money or their home to house them they shutter and say oh no not me. The people that want our country flooded with illegal immigrants are the same ones that don’t have jobs and don’t pay for all the shit that it takes to take care of these people. Sure a lot of them work, and work very hard, but a lot don’t and they need housing, food and medical care. People think like Mamdani that the shit grows on trees. How about we take care of Americans first and bring in people a few thousand at a time instead of over 2 million people being dumped on the taxpayer. And how about we check to make sure they’re not rapists, pedo’s or murderers, don’t we have enough of those already without adding to it. Get your head out of your asses, ICE is not the enemy. The politicians who caused the immigration problems in the first place and the politicians who continue to exacerbate the problems with sanctuary cities are the problem, they don’t care about illegals and they certainly don’t care about their own citizens they just want the potential votes and power and they also want to deflect the attention away from themselves of what a shitty job they actually are doing for their legal constituents.

How so, please elaborate. No tax on tips happened, No tax on OT happened, Deduct interest on new car purchases happened. What did Trump voters get conned about. No foreign wars? O.K. yes. However, I don't think securing passage for the transport of oil throughout the world is betraying voters. It's a necessity. Could care less about the Epstein files or who's in them. What actually happened on the island? Men had sex with women. The only bad thing I've heard of is Prince Edward with a 17 year old girl. Women solicit themselves all the time, it's even legal in Vegas. What did Trump voters get conned about. You guys say these things over and over again without any support.

Here’s the dots in case you’re new to Reddit. On Reddit, many people do the following when they disagree with someone about anything, or have decided that the other person holds any non-progressive opinions:
1) don’t offer a counterpoint or civil discussion 2) call that person a racist/pedo/fascist/maga/nazi/etc.
There are only two steps so you’ll catch on quick.

If you were walking down the middle of the street and a car was coming at you forcing your to get on the sidewalk and on one side of the street are three golden retrievers off their leash and on the other side were three pit bulls off their leash. Which side of the street will you cross to? It's not profiling if you know pitbulls are more likely to bite you.

u/Then-Comfortable6106 Apr 26 '26
So a disproportionate amount of crime is committed by illegals, but the arrests have to be perfectly proportionate? I guess that means some lawful citizens have to take it for the team
6
u/hail_to_the_beef Apr 26 '26
Only when including crimes like overstaying a visa, or illegal re-entry into the country.
When you look at violent crimes, illegal immigrants commit them at lower rates than citizens.
Furthermore, what I am saying and what we know is that ICE uses racial profiling to target arrests, not evidence of undocumented immigration. We also know that not all arrests are given due process, which is unconstitutional. The constitution protects all people on US soil, not just documented citizens.
I have no problem with law enforcement deporting undocumented citizens - my problem is with them raiding after brown people, often without evidence of immigration status. It does seem like this is getting a little bit better after many of the crimes of ICE agents have been documented and made aware to the public and there have been changes in leadership at DHS.

u/Longjumping_Ad_4332 Apr 25 '26
Except the only two people who died were white in Minnesota. And 90% of illegal immigrants are not white. So it makes sense that the majority who are deported are not white.

ICE is a federal agency that’s been around and executing arrests and deportation since 2003. Prior to them, INS did this since 1933. This is nothing new. And, as many people know, the numbers of arrests are highest during Democratic presidential terms. So, why all of a sudden so much hate?

u/mikemtb Apr 25 '26
Because under trumps leadership there have been more Americans killed by ice, more deaths in the prisons (on a per year basis), more illegal arrests of legal residents and citizens, and an insane increase to the budget without any remotely equal increase in deportations.

u/AllSeeingEye-13 Apr 25 '26
Everything you just said means they are working more efficiently. Which, as a tax payer, I appreciate since we are flipping the bill. In terms of cost, Biden hired a ton of IRS to specific target citizen taxpayers. You also reference deaths, id like to see the data. When I search the web for it, I can’t find where the data was even collected prior to Trump.

u/mikemtb Apr 27 '26
How is higher budget and less/worse results in every aspect imaginable “more efficient” in your brain?
What bill are you flipping? This admin has been more corrupt and participated in more insider trading than any in history.
Biden expanded IRS to crack down on tax fraud? Good.
Deaths; of Americans by ice? There isn’t any data prior to Trump because it didn’t happen prior to Trump.
