Summary
Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.
Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.
Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”
Let me put it to you this way.
If we really cared about people in the country illegally, we’d aim for having people who hire these people under the table, also illegally, sanctioned. If you were honestly wanting to see less illegal immigration, you’d be deterring them from ever coming in by drying up the supply of under-the-table, low-paying jobs that attract them here. Maybe by advocating for a 10 x median annual salary for every undocumented worker found on your staff, enforced strongly?
If you can’t find it in your soul to do that, then all you’re here for is smashing disadvantaged people in the face.
make the penalty payable to the immigrants being exploited and they’ll get exposed fast
