Immigrant families fear raids in Donald Trump's crackdown
Sky News ^ | 2/17/2017 | Hannah Thomas-Peter

Over the last two weeks the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has arrested nearly 700 people.

The new Homeland Security secretary John Kelly said: "These operations targeted public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation's immigration laws."

He went on: "...including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judge."

But despite the description of these action as "routine" and "targeted", they have caused great fear in some of the country's immigrant communities who fear the raids will intensify and broaden in scope under the direction of Donald Trump.

Fear is the most effective deportation tool...

...and the most cost-effective.

Self deportations exceeded forced deportations 10 to 1 during Operation Wetback.

I suggest they self-deport for their peace of mind.


Apparently a lot of them are ending up in Canada. :-)

Good. Be very afraid. Call all of your relatives and friends in Mexico and tell them not to come here because our President is a crazy man. Hahaha!

>>pparently a lot of them are ending up in Canada. :-)<<

It will NOT go well for them there. There is an online checklist there to determine if you are eligible for Canadian Residency:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp

And I worked/lived in Canada for nearly a year. If we defended our borders like Canada does there would be 100X the protests you are seeing today.

Since Canada’s social net is so expensive they DO NOT WANT and QUICKLY EJECT anyone who doesn’t add to Canada’s revenue base.

Like all liberals, Canada is super-liberal until THEIR MONEY is on the line. Then it is “no way, Jose” in every possible meaning of the phrase.

That would be ILLEGAL.

This is not a complicated issue. Even so called"conservatives" refer to "undocumented immigrants." Those jerks probably refer to the fall of the Twin Towers bombing as "workplace violence."

The old saying about Canadians is that “they squeeze their 0.8 of a penny until it bleeds”.

DO tell! I have a great view of the townhouses in my neighborhood( almost all Hispanic) so I will lay in some snacks and sit out on the balcony to take in the show. Hope it starts soon!

Trespassers should have fear.
Legal immigrants do not. But then, what Enemedia talks with legals?
The Enemedia’s neon lie of not including’ illegal’ is fooling no one anymore.

speaking of flipping off with the finger my poor husband is receiving many exaggerated and dramatic displays from fellow commuters lately who see the TRUMP sticker on his beater van. Even reaching out of their window, slowing down at light changes to ensure he sees this...LOL!
Funny as my husband is the sweetest most gentle man ever...he comes home and chuckles as he tells me these things.

Anecdotally, a caller to Lars Larsen said his wife works for the State of Oregon, and illegals are bailing on freebies, fearing detection. WOO HOO!!
