I don’t know if anyone who reads this paper knows this but the US already has a deportation for immigrant criminal.
It was start in the Clinton administration. That’s how El Salvador got a Ms-13 problem.
MS-13 Started in the streets of Los Angeles. The gang was started by El Salvadoran youths brought to the US after president Reagan’s illegal war in El Salvador. ( Iran-contra)
Maybe you can imagine the shock of the government of el Salvador when their country was awash with super criminals trained in the American prison system started trying to takeover the country.
So to wrap up…
The US has had a criminal migrant deportation policy for 30 years
So what is happening in our city and fields is not about the law…
So what is it about?
If we are honest with ourselves then it about racism.
Here in Los Angeles they are going after brown people.
No matter if they are immigrants, citizens, or native Americans.
Because all brown people look alike.

The focus is said to be on the criminal sector. Yes others that are in their company may get swept up also but maybe “you are the company you keep”.

Listen to what is actually being said and do not expand on the interpretation to suit your own opinion/agenda.

The idea that we would raid a church service or school when we know there is a target inside is foolish, we all know they should wait until they walk out the door and surveil them until it is safe for all involved.

Stop with the Hitler BS. Your fears are why we have the right to bear arms. “To protect against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Trump wants to hurt California, in spite of the fact that the growers he’s trying to stomp on are deep red right wingers. Low comedy.

Every single person that voted for Donald Trump in this last election needs to raise their hands and publicly admit they are responsible for food shortages and higher grocery prices that will follow this action.

I just wanted to say this was a nicely written article, Caleb. I found it refreshing to have contrasting viewpoints being presented, and as a reader, coming away with the sense of having more information with which to base MY OWN opinion.

Unfortunately, Trump owns the bulk of the Supreme Court. And he has indicated he may defy any decisions that don’t go his way. Meanwhile, the cowardly GOP on the Hill is paving the way for him to get a third term.

This is insanely stupid and cruel. It’s U.S. born people who commit the most crimes – violent AND non-violent. Leave these migrants alone, they work hard and add billions to the economy. We have a racist monster in the White House who thinks he can remove people he doesn’t like. But we have laws and the courts. Birthright is over 150 yrs old, since 1868. This will go through 4 more courts then the Supreme Court. It will STAND!
