It's so cool we are literally entering Anne Frank territory. Cannot wait for the massive detention centers the Republicans are going to throw the immigrants into to just be called concentration camps. Full mask off.

Well he has an easy job since the entire border crisis thing is a scam !! The number of immigrants living in the United States increased by roughly 1.6 million people in 2023 according to DHS.

2) The distinction is between those who came in legally (for example on a visa) and then overstayed, and those who crossed the border illegally. The former are NOT subject to criminal action. Their offense is a civil one, to be handled by the immigration courts. ....(see 3)

I looked up 8 USC 1324 iii. What it applies to is "knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law" and then concealing them. But there is a distinction.... 1)

Not sure what he's talking about in terms of "jails." The deportations I am least worried about are those of people already convicted of criminal offenses. I'm much more worried about "neighborhood sweeps."

I'm preparing the best I can for the unknown that I have never experienced before. I may be way over prepared or woefully unprepared. All I know is, I'm not laying down, and I'm not going down without a fight.

Hide them how? Under what law? How is anyone supposed to know if they are illegal. Do all citizens now have to ask for ID from each other before allowing them into their homes? Like, I have immigrant friends but I’ve never seen their documents.

This reminds of the 1850s when people were forced to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act. It created resentment and contributed to the coming of the Civil War. Red states forcing blue state people to participate in this horrible program will not end well.

apparently he’s using notebooks he found from 1930/40s Germany, the sad thing is they want people to take to the streets in protest so trump can declare martial law and totally torch the constitution

Funny thing is, most of the illegal migrants are in Red states....and they aren't hiding. They're picking crops, roofing houses, working in meat packing plants, cleaning up after hurricanes etc. They don't have to hide because ICE will be hunting in Blue cities.

I think this is all bullshit. The last time this crap happened, farmers were losing millions in unpicked crop. So, eventually, they will have to give work permits to farm workers, like they did last time.

And Blue States can get ready to lawyer up with the best lawyers they have. Trump’s entire life is based on a giant f/u to the legal system through relentless delays. Can the same not be done here? Am fairly confident that their side is as incompetent as they are hateful.

So how’s this going to work? US Army knocking down the doors of every person in the United States? Or are they going to act on ‘information’? I’m not going to lie, reducing illegal immigration is a great idea. But this is like the worst, most abuse-able way to go about it.

MAGA misappropriated tax dollars to dump migrants by the thousands on cities in all sorts of dangerous weather. And, people in those cities rallied together to clothe barefoot children and bring women to our churches who housed them. We took care of each other. Now MAGA wants to punish us more.
