No going to church, no going to the store. No doctor’s appointments for some, no school for others. No driving, period — not when a broken taillight could deliver the driver to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

It is happening in the Central Valley of California, where unauthorized immigrants pick the fields for survival wages but are keeping their children home from school; on Staten Island, where fewer day laborers haunt street corners in search of work; in West Phoenix’s Isaac School District, where 13 Latino students have dropped out in the past two weeks; and in the horse country of northern New Jersey, where one of the many undocumented grooms who muck out the stables is thinking of moving back to Honduras.

What a great feelgood story! MAGA is working as people who shouldn’t be here leave (assuming, of course, that this isn’t more fakenews).

All this winning. Not tired of it yet.

Hardly worth living here illegally if you can’t hang out and harass Americans, if you can’t work illegally, or go out in public to commit crimes, or collect welfare at home. They might as well go home.

“where unauthorized immigrants pick the fields for survival wages but are keeping their children home from school”

Does tend to tell us where to send truant officers and ICE, doesn’t it?

Funny thing about it is that all these things that they are not doing because they will be caught for being in the country illegally, are all things they don’t pay for while they are here and the taxpayer does. That’s sure a shame. No tickee no washee.

Green cards won't save them as likely many are forgeries.

Sounds to me like many of them should get legal and become seasonal farm workers.
