Immigrants change up their routines, brace for arrest

In Orange County, California, dozens of immigrants have signed powers of attorney authorizing relatives and friends to pick up their children from school and access their bank accounts to pay their bills in the event they are arrested by immigration agents. In Philadelphia, immigrants are carrying around wallet-size "Know Your Rights" guides in Spanish and English that explain what to do if they're rounded up. And in New York, 23-year-old Zuleima Dominguez and other members of her Mexican family are careful about answering the door, and get worried and start making phone calls when someone doesn't come home on time.

They could avoid all that by self deporting. But they won't because they know they can file for a hearing six months or longer down the road and by then they'll have new identification and a new address.

(B)Racing for the homeland would be much more preferable

GOOD!

Sounds like The Plan is starting to work.

[Mr. Douglas]

I think self deportation is the goal trump has with his rhetoric. And changing expectations.

Pretty smart, actually.

[Jim Robinson]

Illegal aliens are not immigrants.

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

It’s about time they started thinking that they’re breaking the law for a change.

I know that many people who are here illegally are nice, productive members or our society, but they are well-reminded that they are subject to the laws of our country.

[eyeamok]

and access their bank accounts ???

Exactly HOW MANY BANKS are committing MONEY LAUNDERING???

Where is AG Sessions? they need to be SHUT DOWN and Criminally Prosecuted for LAUNDERING PROCEEDS OF A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!

cry me a river

Sounds like The Plan is starting to work.

Yes. Self deportation was always the goal.

Next stop: dry up funds for sanctuary ghettos, e-verify, cut off welfare.

Progs don’t realize these stories have the opposite effect that they were intended to produce. These stories are moral builders for the MAGA crowd. Go Trump, go!

I will be riding the Amtrak from San Diego to Los Angeles. I bet that the Border Patrol agents will board the train in San Juan Capistrano just like they did before G.W. Bush screwed us. Clinton was actually pretty good about that. Every time I rode that train in the old days I would see at least 5 illegals taken off of the train in San Juan Capistrano.

I want to see the Border Patrol return to Capistrano along with the swallows.

[DoughtyOne]

Sure would be.

It’s coming illegals. You just know it.

Choose the departure time and don’t let the Feds control you.

Leave now.

[central_va]

I know that many people who are here illegally are nice, productive members or our society,

Irrelevant.

[rainee]

Exactly, just read another sob story on Yahoo about how we’re all going to die now because some “refugees” are medical students, assistants etc..FAKE NEWS!
& those jobs should be going to US citizens first. The more the media highlights all the ridiculous benefits they get, Trump winning again.

[John Milner]

Next thing you know they’ll be taking away their right to vote! Heartless Republicans, LOL.

[wastedyears]

Good

[central_va]

Dear Illegal Invaders,

You are not paranoid ICE really is out to get you. Mwahahahaha.

Signed,

[pgkdan]

This is just breaking my heart...NOT!

[exnavy]

Let’s just start calling Trump and all supporters what they really are, patriots. The patriots of America are winning.

[pgkdan]

No need to go to all this trouble and suffer this anxiety. Pack your bags and go back where you belong.
