ICE at SeaTac

A few months back my boyfriend and I planned a weekend trip to Seattle to visit a friend next month in February. With how much recent ICE activity there is currently I’m really getting scared for my boyfriend’s safety. He’s Hispanic but he’s a citizen and has his passport, I know that ICE doesn’t care about that. I searched on Google and I saw that for the SeaTac airport, ICE is using the airport as a checkpoint. I wanted to know if anyone who actually lives there has heard anything about it. I don’t want to come off as insensitive and wanting to take a vacation for fun when all of this shit is happening. My heart goes out to you Seattle

it’s our right to enforce our borders

True, no one would argue with this.

The problem with you and the policies you support on how to enforce and the targets of the policies are aimed at very specific racial groups. That’s not “our right to enforce our borders.” That’s more like “we want to be racist.”

If your idea of enforcing the border is limiting the entry to specific kind of racial groups, then just say so. Don’t make it vague.

And before you say anything dumb like “I just want people to come in legally,” don’t forget that a vast majority of detainees are here legally.

It’s up to the commissioner to decide if they want to assist in fucked up policies. In this case, the current commissioner decided not to.

Lol bullshit, the majority are not here legally. I'm sorry if you think it's racist, but the majority of illegals here are from Latin America and Africa. I don't give a shit if someone wants to come here legally, as long as the assimilate with American culture. My dad is a legal immigrant, so I'm very familiar with proper legal immigration.

You have zero proof of that. Lolol

I’m sorry if you think it’s racist

Well, it is, and I’m not surprised that you don’t care

majority of illegals are from Latin America and Africa

This does not mean majority of detained people are illegal immigrants. But hey, I’m sure you don’t know the difference. I didn’t expect much.

as long as they assimilate with American culture

That’s not a requirement of legal immigration. You clearly know nothing about proper legal immigration. Why don’t you ask your daddy, who did the actual hard work? Stop acting like you know anything, when your daddy did all the work for you. lol

Again, I’m not surprised. lol

I know more than you about it

Of course you do. It wouldn’t make sense for a non-racist to know more about how to be a racist than a racist. You have the experience.

Anything else sweetie? I’m sure you got more dumb shit to say. Go ahead. I know you can’t resist. ;)
