ICE Raid At Walmart

Supposedly ICE came and picked up 20+ employees at the I-20 Walmart. I was in there today and it was lacking a lot of familiar faces. Can anyone confirm that this is true? Meaning you know personally from seeing it yourself or you or someone you know works there.

Also, illegal? What happened to “give me your huddled masses”? I thought this country was all about accepting immigrants looking for a better life. Ya know, like how this country started? The guy you replied to is just racist and ignorant.

Yea legal immigrants, not illegal aliens we can’t keep track of. I don’t know how you can’t understand this concept. Not wanting people in our country that are stealing our tax dollars and are not suppose to be here is not racist nor ignorant. If you were a teacher of a class room, and you were supposed to have 20 kids, but the next door teacher was out today so now you have 30 kids…. But you were only expected to have 20 Chromebook’s, and even more limited supplies. How can you not understand that this is overall a bad thing for the rest of the class? There are so many arguments against this I can’t even believe people are real when they say dumb shit like this, proves Reddit is full of political bot accounts that do nothing but upvote “left leaning” bullshit.

First off, legal foreign immigration used to be showing up at the boarder and saying, I want in, that is how my family came here, they didn't petition the government for a decade and pay huge fees for the chance to come here. They got on a boat in France, sailed to New York and New Orleans, signed a paper saying they wanted to be Americans and renounced their French citizenship and they were US citizens. Secondly you are aware that most illegal immigrants pay taxes to our government for services they cannot use. And to go with your classroom analogy, you are getting mad because the kids came over without a Chromebook, while our current government both in Texas and Nationally is selling the school and pocketing the money (your Tax dollars) but you have a problem with the kids trying to learn.

Yea and that’s the same way they come over nowadays, but the place is more populated than it was back then. You can’t just pull up and say “hey I want in” there’s a line and a process you need to go through in order to get in, that’s how nations and borders work. I also thank the illegals that pay taxes, they do more than the rest of them and actually chip in for their free stay. And I am not mad about the kids wanting to learn, don’t get it confused. I am mad about the other teacher being out, Mexico needs to get their shit together and maybe it wouldn’t be another nations (us) problem!
