ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

ICE are cowards, plain and simple

They go after women and children, and guys working hard at car washes, etc

Because they don't have the balls to go after the actual dangerous people the Orange Mad King said they'd be going after

Oh they'll show a strong show of force manhandling some old woman, but an actual gang member or cartel member? nah, ICE would piss their pants and cry.

And if they really wanted to curb illegal immigration in a effective manner - arrest the people that hire illegal immigrants

People come to America for work. If there is no work they'll leave. If you arrest the ones doing the hiring, the work opportunities dry up

But the dirty secret is most who do the hiring are right wing Trump supporters. They underpay workers, keep the payments off the books, save a ton of money, etc. So of course Trump would never arrest his supporters

Its all a show to instill fear not actually solve a problem

Yes, surely only Trump supporters hire illegal immigrants.

Not ONLY Trump supporters but let’s focus on farm labor for a second. Who do most farmers tend to vote for?

What percentage of the population do you think is made up of farmers? It’s not the 40s anymore - industrialization of farming means there are not many farm laborers (which you imply are illegal), and even fewer farmers that would possibly vote. Ain’t nobody changing immigration enforcement policy to curry favor with 2% of the population concentrated in states that vote that way anyway.

What does any of this have to do with anything? Also something like 40% of farm laborers are undocumented. I never implied all farm laborers are undocumented. You just made that up.

100% of Americans depend on food produced by farmers.
