Immigrant communities across the country — including South Florida — are in a state of panic. We can’t blame them. They have a right to be fearful of what the future holds under President-elect Donald Trump and the encouragement he offered to the kind of haters who seem to enjoy shouting the mantra “deport ’em all.”
The atmosphere of hate that came into the open during the campaign has exploded since Mr. Trump’s victory. In a six-day period beginning Nov. 9, the day after the election, the Southern Poverty Law Center recorded 437 reports of hateful intimidation and harassment, 136 directed at immigrants, and 900 by late last week. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mr. Trump did his best to evoke anti-immigrant hysteria among voters and then capitalized on it to coast to victory. We criticized him then and still believe he was wrong. His rhetoric was loaded with misinformation, demagoguery and racial animus.
In his first post-victory interview, however, Mr. Trump toned it down a bit. He told “60 Minutes” that as president he would deport or jail up to 3 million criminal immigrants. This sounds like a huge threat, but the sad reality is that the Obama administration has already set records for deportation, nearly 2.7 million since 2008. And if Mr. Trump is referring to those who have committed crimes, the number available is only about 820,000, out of the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, according to the Migration Policy Institute....

If they are legal — no problem. If they are illegal, all panic disappears if they just GO HOME.
The Cubans in Miami seem to be pretty happy today.
The legal ones aren’t.
126 is an ‘explosion’, as opposed to ‘only’ 820,000 crimes committed by illegals
Ok
Why? Are they here ILLEGALLY?!
The Southern Poverty Law Center *is* a hate group.
GOOD!
Time for some De-Teating
Hey, if you think the invitation you got from the libtards meant something, well, you should have considered the source... Just saying’.
I am fed up with being labeled a ‘hater’ simply because I believe the LAWS of our country should be enforced.
Only 11 million? Where to these numbers come from? Is a proctologist involved?
No panic in Brownsville. They control this town and the cartels are everywhere. It will take military action, and I don’t mean removal. I’m talking actual combat. They won’t leave unless in a body bag.
They think they have a “connection” to the community because they treat the maid so well...
deport in priority order....
islam adherents
and
violent crime others.
protect American citizens.... It is critically important to do this ASAP. Repatriate them in priority order....
Apparently this stat is based on a changed definition of "deportation." Under Obama, the term "deportation" could be applied to simply chasing illegals back across the border, before they could gain a foothold on the US side. Thus the count was inflated.
So it depends on what the meaning of "is," is.
