Look beyond Reddit and see that the majority of Americans are extremely happy with what is being done. Are all of us crazy, nazi fascists? You know that's not true. The left wants you to think Trump is a racist. He's not. (-6)

Oh. Well, as long as there's no violence and you're not impeding traffic more power to you, but I do want to ask a serious question because I really don't understand the argument ice coming in and doing their jobs. They are deporting illegal immigrants that broke our laws. are you against Lawfare? Because if I break a law, there are consequences and I have had to pay those consequences should our laws not be upheld? And I am not trying to start a giant argument so those of you I just want picker and b-word and bone don't comment. I am asking because I really don't understand why you are against reporting people that broke our law's (0)

Thank you. I don't know much about the ICE raids but I mentioned it because that's something I've been seeing people protest about at the other protests I've been to. Immigration and how to deal with illegal immigrants has been an issue for a while. I think now that Trump is carrying out all these deportations, people are more inclined to talk about their feelings about the issue that have been there for a long time. There is also an issue with illegal and legal immigrants being a large part of our agriculture and that deporting them would have immense negative effects for our economy. People are also against ICE raiding schools for lots of reasons. That shit would be hella traumatic if I was a kid. I understand that people immigrating here illegally is a problem. But when I have friends who are terrified that their parents are going to be deported and they'll have to find family to stay with I have to have empathy for that. I think it needs to be easier for people to get into our c... (7)

It has a lot to do with how Trump demonizes immigrants and has used them as a scapegoat throughout his political career. He's called them male feminists, animals, murderers, etc. And then there are the plans to set up a massive detention center at Guantanamo Bay, which has detained some of the worlds most heinous terrorists—so yeah, putting people whose only crime might have been entering the country without documentation there is pretty despicable. At the end of the day, most immigrants to America are just looking for a better life, the American Dream. We're a country built on immigration, so demonizing them and focusing so much power on ruining their lives is just plain wrong. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a border, but the glee with which Trump and co are going about this is disturbing and theyre starting to look a lot like some of history's most infamous villains (1)

Yes, this country was found on immigrants, but that was 250 years ago now we are an established republic with checks and balances. and I think a lot of those were clips that were taking out of context. He was calling the cartels animals and the person that killed Lake and Riley a monster, but I have never heard him say all Mexicans are evil or anything of that sort. but he did run on all of this and one really I don't see the difference in a Guantánamo Bay prison versus a state prison and in reality, we don't have enough room in our prison system to house them anyway we've got to house them somewhere else until they can be deported which I really don't think is very long (1)

I agree, violence is not the answer. Yes, it'll be an empty building. The point of the protest is that we are protesting the president on presidents' day yk? I did create the protest or anything lol. Im just organizing one in Idaho falls (10)
