As Raids Failed to Materialize, Many Immigrants Still Felt Fearful
WNYC ^ | 7/14/2019 | Mirela Iverac and Beth Fertig

Posted on 07/15/2019 8:06:33 AM PDT by RightGeek

The city braced for deportation raids this weekend that didn’t come to pass, but legal groups and city officials fanned out across the five boroughs to assuage fears and inform immigrants of their rights.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were planning to arrest families who recently arrived, missed their court dates, and were ordered deported. But fear has spread among many immigrants. At Saint Joan of Arc Church on Stratford Avenue in the Bronx, around 60 people filed into the basement for know-your-rights workshops. Alejandra, who didn’t want to provide her last name, said she came to the U.S. 12 years ago from Mexico and doesn’t have legal status. She said she feels afraid.

“We stay at home,” she said in Spanish. “We can’t go out.”

She said she rarely leaves her house now, because she worries what would happen to her two U.S. citizen daughters if she got deported. Hilario Galicia Montes, a volunteer at the church, said he wasn’t afraid, after spending 21 years in the country and regularly paying taxes. But he said many of his friends are scared.

“They don’t want to go out,” he said. “They don’t want to go to work.”

“she worries what would happen to her two U.S. citizen daughters if she got deported.

Take them with you? duh”

To that S**thole? They will probably just be sold for use in medical experimentation instead.

absolutely - the family must be deported together - the left insists families must not be separated.

“not one in 10,000 will self deport”

Other policies are in the works, that will apply economic incentives.

A big one, is cutting off benefits to illegals. There is a whole class of welfare leeches who might need to head back to mom and dad for free room and board.

Also, there is a proposed big fine for getting caught, which would essentially allow for asset seizure of houses, cars and accounts. Some may choose to cash out before getting caught, if the risk assessment starts rising, depending on their individual circumstances.

Many factors influence the individual’s life choices. As all the incentives get aligned with the outcomes we want, instilling fear and pressure will become more effective.

ICE needs to stake out the safe spaces

12 years. She can't say, "we stay at home" in English.

That's a BIG part of the problem. They don't want to become Americans, just live like them.

I would think that being a fugitive from a court order would cause you to live in fear every day of the year.

When did we start worrying about criminals being afraid of getting arrested.

I don’t agree. The instant they step out of the sanctuary city they are targets for deportation. They would essentially be prisoners in their own city. Let the libs deal with them in their own backyard. And let it be known that the illegals will face deportation if they leave the city. That way they will voluntarily move to those cities.

There would still be enough illegals in the rest of the country to keep ICE busy.

Real estate prices?

How about the offset on local taxes alone
from not having to subsidize these leeches?

Although most towns have rules re renting and
rent control, scumbags usually of the same ethnicity
don’t hesitate to pack their properties with at least
one parasite per room. Archaic rules such as the housing
department not being able to check suspicious activity after dark
enable the thieving. I had the nightmare of a s American
leveraged to the hilt doing that across the street from me,
fortunately his greed couldn’t stop a foreclosure and
a normal family moved in and order was restored

ICE can find the safe spaces pretty easily.

Every sanctuary city. Target friendly areas.

Keep telegraphing your dates and methods of attack, then “don’t execute”.
Keep doing this until your enemies get worn down with stress and high level alerts.
Do it for weeks or months to keep them stressed and tired, eventually they are unable to maintain the level of alertness required to effectively respond to the real assault.

Then pick several arbitrary dates and times; disclose the the details to a very few people, the Department heads, the Divisional Commanders, only the people who can ultimately give the “GO ORDER”.
Give each Department Head/Division Commander a different Date/Time, makes it easier to nail down the LEAKERS.
Once you have the leakers identified FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

The traitorous news media is a great resource for the last part of the operation.
