ICE - let them do their jobs!
This is my take and my opinion on the matter. It probably won’t matter but this is how I see things. If you do things the right way then there wouldn’t be any problems to begin with. I’ve entered the states legally decades ago whilst waiting in another country’s refugee camp for over 6 years. I like others waited on my documents to legally immigrate here. Worked hard, still working, pay my dues and built a life. I don’t see why others feel like they are special or privileged and can just cross the border and do whatever they want.
The stupid comment that Billy Ellish (I find her remarkably stupid and ignorant) made where “No one is illegal on stolen land,” welp, she should give back her house because that land belong to the natives. That whole argument is whack too! And I’ll tell you why. Pre-modern era wars were fought mainly over land, unlike today where culture and religion and oil/resources play a major role. The mongols, Alexander the Great, Nepolean, and countless others conquered and amass vast wealths of land. That’s how it was and how it’s always been. The natives in this country were out powered. They didn’t have the advance technology because they were still trying to become one with the land. If they had the guns, advance ocean exploration, then maybe they would be the ones owning Europe and Africa.
In today’s society you can’t just simply invade another nation. Ask Russia how is that going? The natives fought and they lost. They couldn’t defend their land. Nothing was stolen. It was taken. Ukraine is giving one hell of a fight back. The natives here fought and lost. End of story. Besides we gave them the ability to go tax free and build casinos, I’m almost certain they are doing pretty well. Well the casino owning tribes.
China has their eyes on Taiwan but yet they know what’s coming if they pull that trigger.
Anyways sorry, for the tangent… now the real issue…
Having Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is both good for our country and necessary to maintain the rule of law. Every sovereign nation has the right and responsibility to enforce its immigration laws, secure its borders, and determine who is permitted to remain within its territory.
Laws mean very little if they are not enforced consistently. Legal immigration pathways exist for a reason, and allowing people to bypass those processes without consequences undermines the system for those who follow the rules. I would know I’m sponsoring my wife and my dad is sponsoring his brothers and sisters. It cost money and time.
ICE plays an important role in identifying and removing individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States, particularly those who pose a threat to public safety. Enforcing immigration laws is not inherently hateful or cruel. It is part of the government's responsibility to protect the public, uphold the law, and maintain an orderly immigration system.
We should also remember that immigration enforcement is not a new idea created by one political party. The Obama administration deported millions of people during its eight years in office, recording approximately 2.75 million formal removals according to commonly cited federal figures. This demonstrates that immigration enforcement has historically been a responsibility of both Democratic and Republican administrations. It is contradictory to portray deportations as inherently unacceptable today when previous administrations, including Obama's, also aggressively enforced immigration laws. The real discussion should focus on how those laws are enforced, who should be prioritized, and whether enforcement is conducted fairly and lawfully.
The only thing I see wrong here is the current ICE agents all need more training on how to handle situations. That said, I don’t believe what they are doing is wrong at all. You remove a lot of these illegals, housing market with go down as rent will decrease drastically. Crime will also go down too because they can’t legally work and when push comes to shove, they are going to commit crimes to feed themselves. Not only so, we will have more resources here for our own people, especially our veterans.
When it comes to protests against ICE, there is a major difference between exercising the constitutional right to peaceful protest and engaging in violence, rioting, vandalism, or interference with lawful arrests. Not everyone protesting is necessarily in the country illegally, because American citizens and lawful residents also have the right to express their opinions. However, anyone who assaults officers, destroys property, threatens public safety, or obstructs law enforcement through unlawful conduct should be held accountable. Disagreeing with an immigration policy does not give anyone the right to break the law. We cannot demand that the government respect the law while excusing unlawful behavior simply because we agree with the cause behind it.
Often times I think those with mask and stirring trouble are illegals themselves during these protests.
The same principle applies when ICE officers attempt to make an arrest. Individuals should not assault officers, endanger innocent people, or use their vehicles as weapons to escape apprehension. A vehicle deliberately driven at an officer or another person can become a deadly weapon, creating an immediate threat to human life. When someone presents an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury, officers must be able to defend themselves and others. Deadly force maybe justified when necessary to stop such a threat, but it should not be automatic simply because someone is fleeing or refusing to cooperate.
That illegal with the 5 year old in the back seat of the car knew what he was doing. He endangered his own child by trying to flee the scene.
Finally, supporting ICE does not mean believing every officer is always right. It means recognizing that officers must be able to perform their lawful duties without being subjected to violence or having their lives or the public’s endangered.
Ultimately, supporting ICE means supporting the principle that a nation must enforce its laws and maintain control overits borders. We can support lawful immigration, treat people humanely, protect constitutional rights, and still insist that immigration laws have consequences. These principles are not contradictory. A country that fails to enforce its laws risks undermining public confidence in its institutions and the fairness of its legal system.
I don’t understand what’s the problem? You are here illegally and you need to go the Fawk home! Come back when you have your paper work in order and have paid your dues!
In closing, we should expect accountability from law enforcement, but we should also expect accountability from those who violate the law. A fair immigration system requires both compassion and enforcement, and neither can function effectively without the rule of law.
