My wife cried last weekend when the landscapers (Hispanics) were here installing mulch. Because...

I understand the worry.
But
We made it a point to know our landscapers by name, on day one.

Oh, I've known the owner of this company for years.

Interestingly and off topic but his prices continue to increase (just like lots of things these days).

The thread is about my wife seeing the faces of Hispanic workers and knowing that people just like them (innocent or guilty) are being rounded up and sometimes sent to other countries without due process.

It became more real to her because of their faces and this moment in American history.

Or we can give MAGA/Trump the benefit of the doubt and just ignore what's happening to Hispanic people all over.

Remember just a couple posts back when you said you were fine with illegal immigrants being deported.
Tell me why do you think you are fooling anyone with your lies.
But I get it that you are upset you are going to have to pay more to have your lawn done. What a bummer.

We're instructing them what to do (same company we've used for years). Cut in the beds, prune and install the mulch.

And then she goes in the house and cries.

I follow and ask her what's wrong.

She says it's because she saw their faces. It became personal. Then she asked me where people "like" them will be shipped to and would it be bad.

I had no answer.

And then we went on about our lives like tons of us white people do (whose families immigrated here at some point).

Now that was your cringe worthiest.

I have to admit, after seeing how ICE is acting, I am becoming far more sympathetic to people here illegally.

I guess. When I see Hispanic people working I don't personally wonder if they will soon be deported, but I guess I don't really try to guess the immigration status of people.

Same company for years and this is the first time she ever saw them as "people?" Individuals? Wow.

Many of them consider empathy, which is one of the roots of biblical morality, to be a sin. They are mixed up people.

The Democratic notion of empathy is to encourage millions of poor Latins to send their children north using smugglers through the jungles of Panama and Guatemala, then hand them off to criminal cartels in Northern Mexico who traffic them or employ them in their other various criminal enterprises, such as drug dealing.

I guarantee that my fellow Angelenos are worried about the safety of Latino residents here.

Documented immigration status isn’t a guarantee that someone the wrong color won’t be picked up. Not even citizenship can protect Latinos. Ask the nanny who was picked up at a park in the Cheviot Hills neighborhood of West L.A.— the children were held by LE until their parents could come to take them home. The nanny was released hours later. Guilty by appearance and language until proven innocent.

Hispanics have been in New Mexico longer than Europeans. The oldest public building in the US is in Santa Fe, it housed Spanish then Mexican Governors before the US. I see Americans not the color of our skin.

Somehow empathy is being called racism in this thread.

maybe look at some facts and then re think this issue.

for one, usa is the Biggest immigrant nation even today with about 1 million Legals coming in yearly if mem serves.

and secondly, this is all temporary.

Canada and Mexico will be the 51st state when Dark Maga Technocracy kicks in with full power. so mexicans can stay here if they want or go to canada/wherever easily.

this will all happen in Phases as that is how the Oligarchy is running the show. in the near term, it appears they are going to Sink the economy and move the world into war which will be WW three, one of the Last Wars planned from way back to complete their world wide neo fascist agenda.

welcome to the future my friends. my view is Prophetic, weeks and years ahead of time; most here can't even know a day ahead. so i try to help you all.


blessings till the end of time
