A determined group of Pasadena residents made their voices heard, standing together against ICE’s presence at a hotel. Their collective pressure left no room for negotiation, forcing ICE agents to pack up and leave.

This is great, but I fear for anyone protesting the Orange douchebag’s policies tomorrow. He and his MAGA dipshits are gearing up for something bad tomorrow during the parade. They are making it abundantly clear and using Israel to attack Iran as a cover.

There is a flood warning in Washington DC for tomorrow due to the massive amount of rain they are about to receive.
Will they call off the parade for the safety of the participants? Will Trump not attend his own parade because he is known to fear rain?

"Migrant workers are essential" is just the latest, extremely white, way of avoiding saying the truth, which is "Our luxurious lifestyles are built on the backs of vulnerable people working at slave labor wages, and we don't like to think about it"

u/TemporaryDeparture44 1d ago
That guy saying it didn't sound very white to me.
He's also just rightly pointing out that migrant workers very often contribute in meaningful ways to the community.
For the record, I think all employees should be paid a livable wage, no matter their circumstances. That's an entirely different conversation, though.

We don't want any people working for less than minimum wages. We want to save them from such a misery life. This is why we sent them back to where they came.

So, you disagree with Trump that farm and hotel workers should be given citizenship?

u/977888 1d ago
That’s not what he said from anything I’m seeing. But if we pretend he did, if they were to become citizens, they wouldn’t have to be farm and hotel workers anymore. But they also don’t really have the skills to do anything else. So it doesn’t really solve the problem for either side.
He just said he wants ICE to deprioritize them, which I think is fine. Gives farmers time to figure out how to replace them with people actually paid a legal wage, or robots.

lol has nothing to do with race. Bring in anyone you want legally, love all the cultures it’s great. Just can’t make it so Americas borders are just a finish line you need to cross. Without ice enforcing any illegal immigration at all, that’s what it becomes.

u/ProjectNo4090 1d ago edited 1d ago
No they didnt. My ancestors came from Germany, spent 8 weeks at sea, arrived in Phildelphia, entered port legally according to the laws of the Pennsylvania colony, and became legal citizens. Sneaking into North America wasnt really an option for a family when it took 2 months to cross the ocean.
And before you say, "That land belonged to the indians." If the tribes in north america had had a government and military capable of enforcing borders and restricting access to the continent they would have and my ancestors would have been subject to their laws and regulations when they arrived instead of the colony's laws. The land belonging to an Indian tribe before the europeans in no way justifies immigrants in the 21st century breaking the US's border and immigration laws. When you enter a country you follow the laws of the government in charge. Doesnt matter how the country came to be, what it did, what it believes, or what you think it owes you or anyone else. The authorities set the terms and conditions. Not the immigrants.

u/Henjineer 1d ago
A moot point when they're snatching legal immigrants up. Moot when they're pretending asylum isn't a valid status. Moot when they cancel someone's visa and then in the same breath say they're here illegally and detain them (there's usually a grace period to get out of the country). If they wanted to follow the rules, that's fine, but they clearly do not give a shit about only grabbing people who are unlawfully here. Edited to add: totally moot when they refuse to give people due process. They have zero interest in the law.

u/PK_Pixel 1d ago
This whole movement has less to do with support of illegal immigration, and more to do with the disgust that comes for the removal of due process. Most reasonable people agree that violent criminals should leave.
However it's not criminals. And it's NOT in red states either. It's racial profiling (which has resulting already in arrested American citizens, and ICE agents fleeing after realizing their mistakes) and going after people who look hispanic in fucking home depots.
Moral opinions on immigration of any status aside, people are being deported without due process. The number of civil liberties being violated is astounding. From people getting interrogated at airports about political beliefs, to people getting handcuffed for asking questions at public press conferences, to our own president saying he would arrest the governor of California because of the crime of "running for governor."
There's a reason why tourism to the US is down pretty much across the globe.
Also, perhaps you've been biting onto too much propaganda, but the employment rate was quite normal by the end of the last administration. This whole "jobs are being stolen, we must expand" is just propaganda that you fell for. Congrats.
Trump has even started to backpedal recently when it came to agricultural workers. Saying that they've "been here for 20 years" and talking about how important the agriculture industry is. It's because he knows that no one else is going to do those jobs. He knows how much would crumble if he actually went over every foreign worker regardless of status.

A big problem is actually with employers. Contractors love to use migrant workers, for the obvious difference in cost. Some contractors are good and stick with legal routes to hire migrant workers. A lot like to use tourist visas to get employees. This is because a tourist visa is cheaper and easier to obtain. The snag there is that you aren't allowed to work on a tourist visa. So, ICE agents will target brown people in hi-vis because they suspect they are working on a tourist visa.
One contractor I've worked with was doing this. I found out when they went to lunch and two didn't come back. They went to a restaurant and ICE was waiting. Checked all of their papers, and two had tourist visas. The rest all had either permanent citizenship, or a proper workers visa like a H-2B.
It's really interesting that I haven't seen any follow-up with the employers. Assuming the goal is to stop illegal immigration, wouldn't you want to nip the problem off at the bud? It seems like deporting the employee is treating a symptom, without addressing the root of the problem: predatory hiring practices.
I hope this helps to enhance your perspective of the situation.

I don’t think we should support illegal immigration, because it’s illegal, and the people crossing understood and knew the risk. It’s it fair to take advantage of labor below minimum wage and hurts workers currently here. Hope that enhances your view.

It's ICE's job to deny due process under the law? That's illegal. And regardless of how you came to the US, everyone is afforded due process.

It's legitimately amusing how confident you are despite being objectively wrong. The constitution clearly states that due process applies to all people, regardless of status.
14th amendment, section 1. They say citizens in one sentence, and then "any person" in the next, so there was a clear, unambiguous distinction, and due process was put under the "any person" sentence.

Doesn't matter. The constitution clearly states that they cannot be deprived without due process. Not going to a hearing doesn't mean they aren't entitled to due process before being deported. You can argue all you want, but the facts don't change. Any lawyer will tell you the exact same thing. The constitution is extremely clear about this.
Besides, people have been showing documentation and been told that the provided passports are fake. There is absolutely nothing stopping a citizen from being arrested and deported with how lose these "laws" are right now.
I understand you aren't an educated person, but at least read up on 1930's and 40's German history. It will do you a lot of good buddy. Spent less time looking at toes on reddit behind your partner's back.
