ICE raids across L.A. spark backlash; Trump officials vow to continue operations

They are turning the streets of L.A into war zones with their chaotic behavior, trashing the city. They are not entitled to stay.

Naw. Those are just everyday Angelenos celebrating sports victories, like the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series, or the L.A. Rams winning the Super Bowl. Then there are our July 4th Independence Day celebrations — fireworks and firecrackers are illegal in Los Angeles County (except for sponsored events in parks, sports venues, etc.) and every July 5th there are videos of the entire Los Angeles basin, San Fernando Valley being lit up by illegal backyard fireworks.
 
Because we are literally a nation of immigrants, Tender Branson. Most of us cannot and do not trace our ancestry back a couple dozen generations to the inbred peasants who served the Hapsburgs.
Yep. The only "native people" here are really pissed off that we're here in the first place.

Vastly legal immigrants though, not the recent millions of illegal immigrants aided and abetted by Biden/Harris-Dems ... :)
 
It's a complicated issue, but I will always stand with my native people (or, if I were American, with my people who are real Americans) ... and certainly not with the illegals and their protectors. What's wrong with you people ?
Fine - stand with your people and get your nose out of our business 🤷‍♀️
 
It is certainly not a country of illegals.

Or at least, it shouldn't be.

Legal immigrants, filling out all the required documents, must not be the stupid ones ... when millions of illegals are let in just like that (by Biden and Dem loonies).
You are unaware of how immigrants built this country, how we all experienced similar things, and the pride we take in the experience of being immigrants.

I guess it needs to be spelled out:

We don't want your weird advice on how to run our country and/or settle our differences.
 
I think those who go too far and actually cause damage and harm others should be universally condemned.

Be as mad and angry as you want - voice that as loudly as you want. But you keep your hands to yourself. And off other people and other people’s property.

It depends on what flag.

Flags and signs and such don’t bother me in general. There’s nothing inherently violent or wrong about them.

Now, confederate flags or symbols of overt racism, etc - signs with overt racism or calls to violence - those bother me.

A Mexican flag? Nope. That wouldn’t bother me any more than an Irish flag, a Pride flag, etc.
Think back to the 2006 immigration protests. More so than today, the crowd displayed Mexico's national flag and sang the Spanish version of our national anthem. The backlash was swift and so was the replacement of Mexican flags with the American flag.

This is likely what those who read their newspapers tomorrow will see:

Mexican flag-waving masked protester becomes the symbol of LA anti-ICE riots: ‘Perfect propaganda for Trump’ (New York Post)

The Mexican Flag Has Become a Potent Protest Symbol (New York Times)

May not matter to you or I, but it will matter. How much is yet to be seen.
 
I think (common-sense) people on here, reading these posts, must understand the following:

The people opposing my common-sense views are probably part of a much larger problem: they are part of a system or group of people who secretly hate actual Americans and who want to slowly replace actual Americans by means of illegal immigrants. This is also happening here in Europe. They are building a system which is highly corrupt and where illegals hide and infest major cities, to the point you cannot get rid of these people anymore. Trump's election was a blessing in this regard, because he's tackling this problem and is getting rid of these illegals. A Democratic president wouldn't. He would let the system flourish and replacement of Americans continue through uncontrollable mass immigration. This is the problem that we are facing. Not just the illegals, but also the system and it's crazy leftwing supporters behind it.
 
There are 2.6 million illegals in California.
Can we just give California back to Mexico?
Sure you want to do that? Per capita California is in the top 10 economies in the world. They give billions more to the Feds than they receive. Go ahead and cut off your nose to spite your face

Please stop denigrating the "Biden/Harris-Dems". Your not being an American and criticizing my party in such a discourteous tone makes me angry. Who are you to judge my country's politics? If you do criticize them, explain your thoughts; don't just call my country's former President and Vice President names with no reason given for your scorn.

Oh, so you are one of those “replacement theory” types.

Got it.

I know that the truth hurts.

But the sooner you realize that Biden/Harris made a major blunder by letting in 10 million illegals, the better.

He knows what he knows. RT told him.
 
It's good in my opinion that the Trump administration is going heavily after illegal immigrants in those so-called "sanctuary cities" where these illegals are hiding and where leftists are breaking the law by tolerating and protecting them from being rounded up and being removed from the country.

But you can clearly see the traitors they are, by waving their Mexican and Palestinian flags, how un-American they are. Large swathes of illegal immigrants, waving flags other than the American one, even after decades of being in the US. They still have not assimilated into American culture, remain foreign and illegal.

It's high time these traitors are being removed from the country and their leftist chaotic Dem loony backers shown their place by ICE, police and the national guard. Trump's doing the right thing here: cut deeply into the Democratic/illegal pork and flesh and excise the illegal traitors from there.
There is no law that forbids tolerance or not demanding status of others
 
No sympathy for people who ignore our sovereignty and continue to commit crimes once in our country.
But those bad guys are not the ones being currently targeted by ICE. That’s the thing that is creating the confrontations, Trump going back on his promise to focus on those who have committed crimes and going after day laborers. I assume he is ordering the sort of thing that ICE is carrying out in order to meet his foolishly predicted numerical targets for deportation.
