Stop this BS. If you don't want leftists to assume the worst of you and call you racists and ignore your safety based motivations, don't ignore our humanitarian motivations and assume our hatred of ICE is for cynical political reasons. Why do so many conservatives find it impossible to believe that others actually have empathy for people outside of their immediate vicinity and must find some way to dispel that and bring other's motivations down to their level of callousness and selfishness?

I don't have many nice things to say about Republicans either, but this topic isn't about them. ---
