Fear And Panic Grows Among [Illegal] Immigrant Communities

For the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants around the United States, the new immigration and deportation policies of the Trump administration have caused a growing sense of stress and panic. Now, following a late February release of new immigration enforcement guidelines, immigrants are creating new routines to protect their lives.

"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?'... A lot of them were people who were impacted by the raids who saw a friend or family be taken."

"The best thing about this is the deterrent factor."

The deterrent factor should kick in to higher gear also when boarder detentions/deportations start to increase.

Bush's fault...

...and Clinton's and obama's.

But it's not Trump's fault. He's the only President who is willing to uphold the Constitution and law.

Illegals probably have grounds for a class action suit against the GOPe and the demonrat parties for encouraging them to break in to the USA and stay here.

Bush was even giving them the same federal home loans that US citizens apply for.

I suppose that was in order to keep the housing bubble inflated, but it was also a clear violation of the Constitution.

Mexico is so concerned about the fear and panic of Mexican citizens in the US illegally that they are putting in place the processes, people, and transportation needed to help Mexican citizens return home easily and safely.

Just kidding. Mexico is saying “we don’t want you here either” and don’t care if you live in fear and panic there.

They should also be willing to shoot instead of picking them up and bringing them in safely.

Shoot the coyote, the others scatter. Border control know who the coyotes are.

“Fear And Panic Grows Among Immigrant Communities”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immigrants are not worried, they have green cards and comply with the laws.

Illegal aliens are worried, as they should be since they are illegal aliens.

‘I’m scared, I’m worried, what can I do?’...
**********************************

Return to your own country before we have to deport you and apply to be an immigrant.

If we have to deport you, there will be a 10 year wait to apply.

Glad to hear it! Fear is a great motivator to pick up and leave!

Unfortunately, fear and panic are an important component of strengthening our borders.

I am not without compassion for many of these people, but pain is a component of change.

Complete and total falsehood. At least 30 million illegal aliens are here. No less.

Good.... let them be so scared they don’t apply for welfare, send their kids to our public schools, flood our hospitals for free medical care, drive on our streets without drivers licenses or insurance on their vehicles and long to go back to where they came from.

“Laughs In President”

Typo? Engrish?

I’m not sure what that statement means.
