hiding out and bracing for the worst

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/07/12/us/immigration-ice-raids-fear/index.html

While the uneasy mix of panic and preparation weeks ago felt like a hurricane, there was one notable difference for the housekeeper in Miami. The store in her neighborhood seemed eerily empty. Already, she said, people were afraid to go out.
She returned home with a plan.
"I said, 'OK, you know what, we're going to keep the windows down, the blinds down. I don't want any noise. I want everybody to stay calm and try to turn off the lights in the living room, so if they come, they don't know that we are in the house,'" she said. "I know my rights. I know that I don't have to open the door. I know a lot of things, but even with that it's really scary."
The woman shared her story with CNN but asked to be identified only by a pseudonym, Elena, out of fear she could face repercussions for speaking out. She said she came to the United States more than two decades ago on a visa, which she overstayed as she sought asylum.
Elena lost her case but stayed in the United States, where she says she's built a life and grown her family. She's terrified of being separated from them.
"This is a horrible feeling," she said Thursday. "These past two days, I've been waking up in the middle of the night. My husband says, 'What happened to you last night? You started screaming in your dream.'"

Yeah like fuck the people who go through the proper process right? Who cares if it is unfair to those who patiently waited and filled out the proper forms when you can get preferential treatment by being an illegal with a media sympathetic sob story!

A nationwide immigrant strike would probably bring the economy to its knees in a matter of days.

eh probably because for most of them the choice is stay and risk deportation in the future ....

or leave job family and friends and return to their country to live in the streets

These things aren't mutually exclusive. I'm pro abortion, but I wouldn't kill something that's already been born.

When you're freaking out about ICE deporting people who the courts have ordered to be deported (aka doing their literal job), it's hard to pretend that you don't want open borders.

Again, not mutually exclusive, but you're not even going to consider that.

the sad thing is their lives have never been negatively affected by illegal immigrants. they just like having a group of people to be cruel to because they're that miserable.


Exactly. Like even if we support the law the attitude demonstrated just indicates racism in general.

It's not like I'm against paths to citizenship and immunity for those born here due to the mistakes of their parents, but weasel words don't help them. Don't act like they have any particular inherent rights to be here.

And it's just so open for everyone to see, too. Like, you're far more likely to be killed by a random white person with a rifle than a muslim. But what's the typical right wing response to each of those things?
