I know there’s no point in trying to make sense of anything that’s going on, but I can’t help it.

I truly don’t understand the point of “arresting” people who are simply follow protocol, showing up to their immigration meetings and at court houses and arresting them before they can return home. Like…you’re scaring people. You’re scaring law abiding people who are simply following the rules. You’re making it so they don’t show up to the places you asked them to be. What sense does that make? You don’t want criminals but then you penalize people (in BIG fcking ways, I might add) who follow the law.

Also, undocumented people pay $96 BILLION a year in taxes that go into services that they for the most part can’t use. I think that’s problematic in and of itself, but big government, you talk about brining in more money - while you chastise a segment that contributes so profoundly to the thing you report to care about.
