So just so I am understanding this correctly.


> Trump endlessly bitches and moans about illegal immigrants and how they are a drain on the economy and contribute nothing but crime


> Trump also endless brags about how much he is supposedly helping the economy


> Then he makes it a point to go out and arrest the ones who are not criminals and that have jobs and are thus contributing to taxes and spend that money they make which helps the economy. This also leaves vacancies which hurts business owners which hurts the economy.


> He then claims it all as a victory

Yup. They're easy to find because they're working somewhere.

I'm literally the only person I know currently (aside from family) who has:

Picked field
Worked in a store like 7/11

Everyone I meet is weirdly stunned I would ever do such jobs. No one wants that shit.

Im American, but I'm from New Mexico. I wonder how long my birth certificate will be valid.
I dunno, where I grew up, working at a 7-11 or Wawa was a pretty normal job for high school and college kids. I don't know where the attitude that it's a living nightmare that no American would ever want to do comes from.
All around the world, every 7-11 I've seen has young people working in it.

Like I said, everyone but my family :p

And yeah, a lot of kids work at places like that, but people that don't know the struggle tend to think they are above such things I guess?

I would have been surprised if you said you pick field
One year I planted, picked and sorted. Was crazy

I have farmers in the extended family, I think, but my immediate family was in the restaurant biz. So while you were picking, I was washing dishes and doing food prep from 16 to 20.

It really builds character. That kind of "lowly" work shifts your perspective, and makes you work really fucking hard to get out of it and never go back.

Yep. Even when I was on chemo and sick as hell my boss was always telling me how much harder I worked than the 'kids' she had hired. That kind of work ethic is very hard to come by, especially in the lower jobs. Because you can't get excited about moping the floor a hundred times a day, so it's understandable

You are right, it builds character and so much more. I once thought it was be an interesting experiment to make every serve three months on a low paying customer survice/dirty job so everyone knows the other side

Finally the government is doing something about immigrants bold enough to try to make an honest living. Serves them right for getting a job!

I bet these "people" tried to better themselves in other ways too! Well not on my dime!

Sure is a lot of false bullshit when you have workers being deported from the country, terrorized by a gang of government thugs.

But yeah, we're the baddies here. Apparently.

You realize Americans work for that same wage right? Not too mention I'm not sure how disrupting their lives and kicking them out the country is really helping them.

Can you please stop pretending to care about undocumented workers? You couldn't give a single fuck about any of those people. No one is falling for your highhorse act.

This type of thinking is at odds with what I have seen from the east to the west coast of the states. Things are going to get worse not better for america as a whole if you think it is a good idea to deport all the undocumented and punish the companies that did hire them.

You misread my statement I said punish the companies. I said nothing about punishing the people. I don't think immigrating to this country should even be illegal under any circumstance. Companies braking the current law however should face the punishment they deserve either for hiring illegals or abusing them because of their illegal status.

Careful man, someone's friend might work for ICE and they might not be evil, why you gotta group all of ICE together like that I'm sure there's nice ICE members that just want to rip parents and children apart.
I honestly don't care. I'm against rounding up innocent human beings like animals.

Wait, were you being sarcastic? I'm bad at picking it up.

There's still plenty of people out there looking for work, hopefully they'll have some more opportunities now and in the future. I for one am happy to know that if crap ever hit the fan for me, I could easily find work to keep the lights on.

Nobody decides where they're born, so for those people looking to have a better life and work hard I have respect for. Life ain't always easy and to pick on those who probably already are struggling seems wrong.

ICE to move forward with deportation of paraplegic boys caregiver
Best thing is that I can post more stories like this, more families torn apart by this disgusting mob.

If you cape for ICE, you're instantly a piece of shit to ME, no ifs or buts.

Yeah, look at these pieces of shit.
She conducted an investigation into a sex trafficking ring in which members of the criminal organization were forcibly injecting victims with heroin in order to control them through addiction. The main conspirator of that trafficking scheme was sentenced to 145 years in prison, and 13 victims were rescued.
Thank you for speaking out against the piece of shit who helped rescue 13 forced sex slaves.

Still pieces of shit.

There were germans that did good things before they were nazis. Doesnt excuse them for turning into vile creatures of terror.
Wow. So not only do you believe that these two people who have tirelessly fought to prevent sex traffiking and rescue victims are pieces if shit, but seemingly you also believe by analogy that all Germans are vile nazis.

Just to clarify, that's not what he said at all. He said whatever good thing that a German (who later became a Nazi and did vile things) doesn't excuse the vile things he did as a Nazi.

"One of the arrestees, Miguel Rodriguez, was linked to infamous gang MS-13. Turns out his brother's wife's cousin on her mother's side once lived on the same block as a suspected gang-member"

"I was shocked", says neighbor Tiffiany Bloomfield. "I spoke to Miguel a few times and he said he was in the country mainly to work and build a better life for his family. I believed him too, he seemed nice even though he was obviously not white. All this time, living next to one of those gangbangers"
omg!

But these people are doing good things as ICE agents. If they were rescuing people from slavery and then became ICE agents you could read it like that. From what I am reading he is saying that even though these ICE agents are doing good things now they will inevitably do bad things. In the analogy, even though Germans do good things they will inevitably become evil nazis.

ICE Left 50 Immigrant Women And Kids Stranded At A Bus Station Before Hurricane Harvey Struck
Federal immigration authorities left about 50 immigrant women and children, most of them asylum-seekers from Central America, stranded at a downtown San Antonio bus station after service was canceled Friday due to Hurricane Harvey.

Barbie Hurtado, a community organizer with RAICES, a nonprofit that provides legal aid to immigrant families, said Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett, who represents San Antonio, had called immigration enforcement officials the day before to tell them not to drop families off.

"Knowing that, they just dropped them off," Hurtado said. "These are women and children who have been released from family detention with no money, cell phones, and don't speak English."

When BuzzFeed News asked about the decision to leave the women and children at the bus station, a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson issued the following statement on Sunday: "All of the aliens who were transferred to the San Antonio Greyhound bus station by ICE on Friday morning had confirmed tickets and itineraries to their destinations. Throughout the process, ICE remained in close contact with bus officials to ensure bus availability, and all aliens had confirmed bus transportation at the time at which ICE officers departed the station. Ultimately, ICE kept two additional families in custody since their bus trip had been cancelled."

The spokesperson declined to answer whether buses were running when the families were dropped off. ICE declined to give the time the families' buses were scheduled to deport or when they dropped the immigrants off at the bus station, but said it was Friday morning.
Girl with cerebral palsy detained by immigration agents after surgery
A 10-year-old girl in Texas with cerebral palsy faces deportation after being discharged from a hospital where she just had surgery.

Rosa Maria Hernandez, who is undocumented but has lived in the US since she was 3 months old, and her cousin were confronted around 2 a.m. Tuesday by Border Patrol agents.

Rosa Maria and her cousin, who is a US citizen, were in an ambulance and being transferred between two hospitals so the little girl could undergo emergency gall bladder surgery at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, the Caller-Times reported.

The ambulance was escorted by immigration agents to the hospital from an immigration checkpoint in Freer. Border Patrol agents waited outside the girl's hospital room until she was released from the facility.

Upon her release, Rosa Maria was taken to a shelter in San Antonio that holds migrant children who arrive alone in the US — despite doctor's orders that she visit with her family's primary care physician in Laredo post-surgery, according to the New York Times and Caller-Times.
ICE agents waited until the employees cooked them breakfast. Then they arrested them
At least three people arrested in a Wednesday raid at an Ann Arbor, Michigan restaurant remain in custody after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ate breakfast there and then entered the kitchen.

The agents were searching for an employee who wasn't at work, but began checking papers of other workers who had just cooked them breakfast at Sava's restaurant. The establishment's owner originally believed all of the detained employees had appropriate documentation.
Oklahoma lawyer: ICE tricked father of 6 into being deported

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Immigration officials lied to an Oklahoma father of six who wanted to extend his permits to live and work in the U.S., telling him they'd grant the extensions if he came to their office but arresting and quickly deporting him instead, his lawyer said.

U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials say Luis Plaza Moreno, of Norman, was arrested Oct. 25 at an Oklahoma City immigration office after failing to report to ICE agents for more than three years. Moreno, 44, was deported Saturday to Mexico, said ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok.

Moreno's family and attorney say he was previously told he no longer had to report to ICE. His son, Luis Plaza Jr., said the family didn't know Moreno had been deported until he called after he arrived in Mexico.

"We couldn't get ahold of him because they moved him," Plaza said. "He called and said they dropped him off. They didn't even give us a chance to sort this out and fight the case. I just don't know why they made it so quick."
ICE tracks down immigrant who spoke to media in SW Washington: 'You are the one from the newspaper'

A man who recounted his longtime girlfriend's arrest in a Seattle Times story about ramped-up immigration enforcement in Pacific County last month has now been detained, and says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents told him the arrest was because he was in the newspaper.

Baltazar "Rosas" Aburto Gutierrez, speaking by phone from the Northwest Detention Center, where he is being held, said he got off work about 4 a.m. Monday — he harvests clams around Willapa Bay — went back to his Ocean Park home and, a few hours later, headed to Okie's Thriftway Market for coffee and eggs.


An SUV blocked his path into the parking lot, he said. An ICE agent got out and approached his car.
"You are Rosas," the agent said, according to Aburto Gutierrez. "You are the one from the newspaper."

Aburto Gutierrez, 35, was not identified by name in The Seattle Times, though his nickname appeared in the Chinook Observer in an August story about his girlfriend, Gladys Diaz, and her arrest by immigration officials who he said answered an online ad she placed to sell a homemade piñata.
Let me park, Aburto Gutierrez told the agent. After he did and faced them, he asked: "Why are you arresting me?"
"My supervisor asked me to come find you because of what appeared in the newspaper," the agent said, according to Aburto Gutierrez, relating the conversation in Spanish. The agent spoke in English, not a language the Mexican-born Aburto Gutierrez speaks fluently.
They Got Hurt At Work — Then They Got Deported

At age 31, Nixon Arias cut a profile similar to many unauthorized immigrants in the United States. A native of Honduras, he had been in the country for more than a decade and had worked off and on for a landscaping company for nine years. The money he earned went to building a future for his family in Pensacola, Fla. His Facebook page was filled with photos of fishing and other moments with his three boys, ages 3, 7 and 8.

Nixon Arias worked off and on for a Florida landscaping company for nine years before a legitimate injury at work resulted in his arrest, prosecution and deportation to Honduras.

But in November 2013, that life began to unravel.

The previous year, Arias had been mowing the median of Highway 59 just over the Alabama line when his riding lawnmower hit a hole, throwing him into the air. He slammed back in his seat, landing hard on his lower back.

Arias received pain medication, physical therapy and steroid injections through his employer's workers' compensation insurance. But the pain in his back made even walking or sitting a struggle. So his doctor recommended an expensive surgery to implant a device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord to relieve chronic pain. Six days after that appointment, the insurance company suddenly discovered that Arias had been using a deceased man's Social Security number and rejected not only the surgery but all of his past and future care.

Desperate, Arias hired an attorney to help him pursue the injury benefits that Florida law says all employees, including unauthorized immigrants, are entitled to receive. Then one morning after he dropped off two of his boys at school, Arias was pulled over and arrested, while his toddler watched from his car seat.

Arias was charged with using a false Social Security number to get a job and to file for workers' comp. The state insurance fraud unit had been tipped off by a private investigator hired by his employer's insurance company.

With his back still in pain from three herniated or damaged disks, Arias spent a year and a half in jail and immigration detention before he was deported.
L.A. Pastor With Two Citizen Children Detained By ICE

A 42-year-old Los Angeles pastor with two U.S. citizen children was detained by immigration authorities on Monday morning.

Noe Carias is the lead pastor at an Evangelical church near Echo Park, a position he has held for a number of years. He is originally from Guatemala and has been in the United States since he was 14 or 15, according to his wife. Carias was reportedly detained during a court appearance Monday during which he had been hoping to receive a stay of removal. His deportation order reportedly dates back to 1994 or 1995, according to advocates for the family. He previously received a stay of removal in 2014, and that same stay was extended in 2016.
"He has a U.S. citizen wife and he has two little children," pastor and community organizer Martin Garcia told LAist. "They own a house, and at this moment the whole family is going to crumble because he was the economic support for the family. It's going to have an impact."

"We consider this unfair according to the promises of the administration," Garcia continued. "They said that they were only deporting people who had major crimes—bad hombres—but not really people without any criminal record."

"My husband is not a criminal," Carias' wife, Victoria Carias, told LAist outside of the Federal Building while her two small children played nearby. "He's been a good citizen." Advocates for the family say that Pastor Carias does not have a criminal record.

If you want to do some semantics shit, then sure, probably not every ICE agent is an evil fucking prick but I'd say it is systemic and encouraged to be a complete and utter monster, fuck ICE. Though that 10 year old girl with cerebral palsy is certainly a MS-13 member in disguise I'm sure.
