Employees Terrified of ICE Raids Are Failing to Show Up at Work

None of it is AI or plagiarism. I was born in Brownsville, Texas. We studied this as part of history nearly every year I was in school from 1st to 12th grade

You are claiming to know all of this... of of the top of your head?

he states that were ceded from Mexico occurred with the Treaty of Hidalgo when we stole vast amounts of land from Mexico essentially the entire South west in 1848.
Border Patrol was first created by Congress in 1924. They had 450 border patrol agents and a budget of $450,000. Just 100 years later the amount is some 20,000 agents and a $19.6 billion budget. Trump wants $76 billion more.

Our population in 1924 was 114,000,000 and today its 330,000,000.

If we increased based on population we should only have 1350 agents and a budget also considering cost of living of $25 million
I realize our government thinks it ‘needs’ things
Somehow we didn’t need it from 1776 to 1923


There were not even a single inspection station on the US Mexico border until 1891 and the Immigration Act if 1917 implemented a literacy test and entry tax however they did not follow this law until after WW1.
We didn’t have a Border Patrol until 1924. So for only 101 years of our history did we have Border Patrol. In 1924 Congress authorized 450 BP officers be hired to patrol both the Southern and Northern border

I doubt you see what bullshit a claim like that is... unless you are Rain Man or have a photographic memory. Exact figures, etc.


Just give it up. Nobody believes this bullshit.


LOL
 
Yes. It was part of mandatory Texas History. I grew up on the border dude

I grew up close to the border as well... We were never taught that 312,.000 this or that in 1886 under

... at least, not that we could drop these states at the drop of a hat...


Your posts are bullshit knowledge....

You never learned about the Treaty of Hidalgo? You didn’t grow up in Texas then.
If you think I have committed copyright theft then you need to prove it or apologize. You are accusing me of committing a crime simply because I actually learned history instead of sleeping through it.

Knowing that the Treaty of Hidalgo was in 1848 and that Border Patrol was in 1924 isn’t rocket science dude. Sort, but I love to study history and the border, Texas and Mexican and Central American history are my favorite topics

I already proved you wrong... with these things called facts.

I even provided a source...



LO
 
Oh so you think the Treaty of Hidalgo wasn’t in 1848 and the Border patrol wasn’t created in 1924?

Your Straw Man's really suck....

...Dang . you really suck at posting relevant arguments with sourced facts.....




LOL
 
The issue isnt the criminals. They should be caught and deported.
Then, I think, it would behoove everyone to be specific as to which group of illegal immigrants is being talked about, the violent criminal illegal immigrants, or the non-violent criminal illegal immigrants.

The vast majority of the people ice is catching and detaining though have no criminal re ord whatsoever though.
Other than they too have ICE detainer orders against them, am I rite?

Theu are just good hard working people contributing to America.

That is a fact not gaslighting.

"New nonpublic data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind."

What is 'New nonpublic data'?
This from David J. Bier's blog? Who's he? And how is his opinion / blog accurate, and worth more than anyone else's, worth more than official reports from DHS and ICE?
 
I don't care about liberals. Don't care what they hate or don't hate. If they hate fascism, then they're in line with many who aren't liberal. This is pointless.

My point is drug trafficking, which you immediately turn into partisan nonsense.



Drug trafficking. Not Joe Biden.

You're not interested in serious discussion. Only partisan slop.

Nothing to say about drug trafficking? Do you think opiate addicts just shrug their shoulders and say, "Oh that sucks. Maybe I'll get high in 2029."

The border isn't sealed. Drugs are still getting through. Just keep consulting that Biden in your head. That'll get you through.

just stop - 50% reduction in drugs coming over in just 5 months, 99% illegals coming across

that's huge - and what reductions were those numbers under Biden? Obama? yeah ... its very VERY much a partisan thing, a Democrat wants open borders thing and Republicans want a secured border thing
 
I Know ICE is going to schools. In some cases bring denied access.


And i know it is causing problems.


100% of the problems would go away with illegally here people if there were no illegally here people here
 
You are allowing them to illegally be in the country, and employers can pay them less because they know they can't complain because they get deported if they get caught. Is'n't that the same as supporting that policy?
Employers can hire them without fear of any punishment and that is why the migrants come here. You know this and still applaud their persecution. We invited them here with job opportunities and they came for that reason. Now you call them criminals and those that hired them are not? This is the absurdity that we must put up with under Trump.
 
100% of the problems would go away with illegally here people if there were no illegally here people here
Then stop inviting them with jobs. Put anyone that hires illegals in jail and the problem is solved...only it isn't because we need the labor and without them no one will pick our crops, work in our slaughterhouses or fix our roofs. I am so sick of the absurdity of it all. You people are acting like morons.
 
Then, I think, it would behoove everyone to be specific as to which group of illegal immigrants is being talked about, the violent criminal illegal immigrants, or the non-violent criminal illegal immigrants.
The ones that are violent criminals are a tiny fraction of the population

And by the way. Despite the propaganda Fox is feeding you, 93 percent of the people ICE is detaining have no criminal record at all, much less a violent one.

They are lying to you.

Other than they too have ICE detainer orders against them, am I rite?
No, you are wrong. Many dont have that.
 
just stop -
Yeah, that doesn't work. Withdrawals.

You're not following. I'll leave you to your beliefs. I'll stick with reality, thanks.

Should the ICE immigration enforcement operations catch illegal aliens, illegal migrants, I have no problem with the enforcement of existing immigration law.

Apparently you do have a problem with the enforcement of existing immigration law.
Apparently you believe that the country, and it's borders, are meaningless, and should be meaningless.

You do realize that without an enforced border, you don't really have a country anymore, right?

They are lying to you.
So are you when you declare that all illegal immigrants are 'just hard working people'.

No, you are wrong. Many dont have that.
 
Then stop inviting them with jobs.
100% agree

Put anyone that hires illegals in jail and the problem is solved
lets do it and a $500,000 fine

...only it isn't because we need the labor and without them no one will pick our crops,
that's a fake liberal left lie spread for a long time - the jobs will be filled IMO. Lets try it and see if I'm right

work in our slaughterhouses or fix our roofs. I am so sick of the absurdity of it all. You people are acting like morons.
I'd quit my job today for a better job in a slaughterhouse or fields

remember - I came from a migrant family of cotton/tomato/cherry/apple pickers, loggers, shirt factory workers .......... things most posters here wouldn't imagine anyone but a brown person doing

which is why I'm telling you its a liberal lie "jobs we won't do"

that's justification for abuse and slave-ish actions is all it is
 
Yeah, that doesn't work. Withdrawals.

you don't want an honest discussion - gotcha
 
So are you when you declare that all illegal immigrants are 'just hard working people'.
No, it is an irrefutable fact that the overwhelming vast majority of illegal immigrants are just good hard working people.

So make them legal. And allow the labor the US economy needs to come legally in the future.

Problem solved.

Your way, having them all removed, is idiotic and would collapse the US economy.

Seriously guy, think it through.

We are at full employment. Have been for a long time. What happens if you remove ten million laborers from that?

Put your bigotry aside and think for christ's sake

So there is an army of lily white pickers like you who have been waiting for this moment to take all those great jobs???? What shit jobs have they been taking meanwhile?

Yes migrants have a far violent lower crime rate than a white American.

Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, notwithstanding the assertion by critics that immigration is linked to higher rates of criminal activity. This reality of reduced criminality, which holds across immigrant groups including unauthorized immigrants, has been demonstrated through research as well as findings for the one state in the United States—Texas—that tracks criminal arrests and convictions by immigration status.

A growing volume of research demonstrates that not only do immigrants commit fewer crimes, but they also do not raise crime rates in the U.S. communities where they settle. In fact, some studies indicate that immigration can lower criminal activity, especially violent crime, in places with inclusive policies and social environments where immigrant populations are well established.

we don't allow anyone to legally come to the USA?

of course we do ... all these millions simply didn't want to abide by the legal way and came here illegally. That's their fault

Problem solved.
except when people don't abide by the laws

of the 10 Million illegally here I bet 1/2 that number doesn't work (women and children and dead beats)

the economy wouldn't collapse - stop being dramatic. "Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said in late May that the administration had deported around 200,000 people over four months."

has the economy collapsed with 200,000 deported? that's a huge number ... what's collapsed ??



Put your bigotry aside and think for christ's sake

LOL weakly trying to play a race card? that's so silly
