How would you feel about posting ICE agents at certain polling places in areas of high populations of illegals?

No problem.

The left posted club wielding thugs at polling places in Philly. It's only fair.

I never saw any evidence that guy attempted to intimidate any voters. Sure he was openly carrying an arm, but that is a constitutional right under the 2nd Amendment. He was simply outside the poll, as long as he wasn’t actively attempting to dissuade voters that wasn’t a big deal. And I think he had poll watcher credentials as well

People still believe illegals are voting in any significant numbers?


How cute.

It does not take "significant numbers" to alter an election outcome.

Since Trump would be doing it, he would be fine with it.

If a Democratic-led government did something comparable, he would again recognize it as a terrifying Hitler-esque move which would need to be condemned.
 
Personally, I wasn't happy with these black panthers guys looking intimidating outside a polling place.



I don't think polling stations are a place to display authority. Polling places are supposed to indicate that those voting are the authority.

I doubt they would pick up any illegal immigrants attempting to vote. It would, however, be highly effective at intimidating legal Mexican immigrants into staying away from the polls.

It’s optically not good looking, but in my opinion it’s not a big deal. I see no evidence these guys are trying to intimidate voters or prevent voters from entering the polls. Wearing black panther uniforms is not illegal and maybe the baton is a municipal code violation but I view it as part of the second amendment.

I think people on the right way overplayed that story. If I were voter in that precinct I’d have walked right by and as long as he didn’t try to stop me I’d think nothing of if

Legal Mexican immigrants are not allowed to vote in US elections. Only US citizens. I think you meant to say US citizen of Mexican origin, but that person would be an American and not a “Mexican immigrant”

I feel like it would be a waste of resources. You would get a lot more bang for your buck if they spent their time cracking down on employers breaking labor laws.

If he had been white and carrying an AR-15 you would have cheered him on as GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT :lamo

Also it was literally two dudes who did it of their own accord, not this widespread intimidation campaign your propaganda masters fed you.

That wasn't cool.

But they weren't the government.

Sending ICE would be much worse.

If they were still black but wearing MAGA hats that would also make them great American patriots.
