"We got over 1,000 phone calls in three days about the [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] raids," Cristina Parker, immigration programs director for Grassroots Leadership, said, reports the Associated Press. "And certainly a lot of those were people who wanted information about the raids saying, 'I'm scared, I'm worried, what can I do?'...

Any American who calls illegals immigrants should not be allowed to lock their door at night. Or even shut it.

And that my FRiends is why you should never ILLEGALLY migrate to another country.

It’s not like the rules or consequences were unknown. YOU decided to gamble.

The best thing about this is the deterrent factor.

If those outside the country know we won’t do anything about it, in comes the tidal wave.

Knowing it’ll be enforced, helps stop it at the source.

Not to long ago, there was a wave of refugees heading to Australia in boats. When they made it clear they would not be admitted, the boats stopped - imagine that.

I don’t Get It, All I have seen the Last 8 Years was Proud Mexicans demonstrating all over America with their Mexican Flags flying high, full of praise and patriotism for their HOME COUNTRY, while3 Blasting America for being Hateful and Racist.

Why are they SO AFRAID OF GOING BACK TO THE PLACE THEY LOVE???
