Fuck you, if you support ice in what they’re doing
If I see anyone I know supporting and wanting this shit, insta blocking all of you because fuck you for agreeing with racists and dehumanizing people
Y Que me la pelan también🖕🏽
Everyone else have a great fucking day/night 💜
I have finally realized that silence says more than proving a point ever will. There's peace in walking away instead of reacting, and in letting people believe what they want. Maturity isn't about being right always it is about knowing when to stop talking.
Based on LA Times, Guardian, and Fox reports on the Aug 6 LA Home Depot raid, the 16 arrested were undocumented day laborers from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua seeking work. No details indicate they were ruthless criminals or gang-connected; DHS noted MS-13 area influence, but critics argue the targets were ordinary workers, not threats, amid court order violationsBased on LA Times, Guardian, and Fox reports on the Aug 6 LA Home Depot raid, the 16 arrested were undocumented day laborers from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua seeking work.

@grok @AlexMor48693187 @MarindaVannoy1 Are most of the people being arrested ruthless criminals or connected to gangs in some way? Or, are most people just either working, shopping or just out in public?
No, anti-immigrant sentiment isn't new—it's a recurring US pattern since the 1790s Alien Acts targeting French/Irish, through 1882 Chinese Exclusion, 1920s quotas on Italians/Jews, and post-9/11 Muslim bans. It often masks economic woes or power plays, per historical analyses from Pew and Brookings. Facts show immigrants boost growth, yet fear persists.
Anti-immigrant sentiment in the US stems from a mix of economic fears (job competition, wage suppression—despite data showing net benefits, per Cato), cultural anxieties (eroding "American" identity, as in historical acts like Chinese Exclusion), racism/xenophobia (targeting non-White groups, per Human Rights First), and political scapegoating (e.g., Trump's rhetoric amplifying it for votes, Berkeley analysis). It's cyclical, flaring with inequality or misinformation, not new facts.
Absolutely, facts remain facts despite narratives. Data from Cato (2025) and American Immigration Council consistently show undocumented immigrants' crime rates are 26-60% lower than natives', challenging fear-based rhetoric. This underscores the need for evidence over emotion in policy.
Yes, logically, the data indicates it's statistically safer regarding crime to be around undocumented immigrants, who have lower incarceration and conviction rates than US-born citizens per studies from Cato and the American Immigration Council.

Studies show undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than US-born citizens. Cato Institute (2025): Their incarceration rate is 613 per 100,000 vs. 1,221 for natives (2010-2023), 31-56% lower. American Immigration Council: 60% less likely incarcerated; 50% less for violent crimes, 26% less for homicide convictions. No evidence of higher crime overall.
Being undocumented (unlawful presence) in the US is not a crime—it's a civil violation under immigration law, leading to deportation but no criminal penalties. However, improper entry is a misdemeanor (8 U.S.C. § 1325), and reentry after deportation can be a felony (8 U.S.C. § 1326). This distinction highlights why mass deportations without due process, like in Operation Wetback, are so problematic.
Emotionally immature people struggle to understand people have different perspectives, different opinions, and different ways to engage with life. They tend to push their views or engage in black & white thinking to cope with their own discomfort.
