Immigration agents made a record number of arrests during a series of raids on Wednesday, the same day President Donald Trump visited El Paso, Texas in response to a deadly shooting in the city over the weekend.
You mother f-er’s. It is not unclear to white supremacist criminals at all. This is a message directly from their leader: we will get rid of these brown people one way or the other.
Any other admin would have informally called off any planned raids until after the last funeral.
Well they probably just shut down that packing plant but people in Miss. don’t need jobs anyway so all’s good
Acting ICE director Matthew Albence told the AP that the raids were part of a “long-term operation that’s been going on.”
“Our enforcement operations are being done on a racially neutral basis,” Albence said. “Investigations are based on evidence.”
So how many US citizens were swept up in this raid this time?
If all the CBP detention centers are full where is ICE going to detain the suspects?
Will the owners/employers be treated the same?
I wonder how big hit this will cause Mississippi’s economy?
When was the last time there was a roundup of Russians overstaying their visas?
Chicken slaughtering and processing… The dream jobs that these illegals are stealing from Americans who are knocking on the door trying to get in, and being blocked by illegals. Sad!
Just after the 2016 election, when Obama kicked out a bunch of their spies.
Economic Performance Rank. Mississippi is currently ranked 44th in the United States for its economic performance. This rank is a backward-looking measure based on the state’s performance (equal-weighted average) in three important performance variables shown below. These variables are highly influenced by state policy.
“Trump, who has derided immigration at the southern border as an ‘invasion,’ has pushed for harsh measures against undocumented immigrants and asylum-seekers by ordering mass raids by immigration officials.”
Trump wants us to know that whatever he said today he does not mean.
He still does not care what we think or believe as long as he has Mitch we can all go fuck ourselves.
“Our enforcement operations are being done on a racially neutral basis,”
Funniest shit I’ve read all week.
Right up there with “the president is not a racist”.
This was no accident that this happened today. So f’king depressing.
"Our enforcement operations are being done on a racially neutral basis,” Albence said. “Investigations are based on evidence.”
No one believes you.
No one.
They also arrested the employers who were illegally taking advantage of the undocumented workers… Kidding.
Just who is going to take these fabulous jobs?
donnie’s beloved uneducated voters need to get ready to pluck or be plucked.
The Associated Press reported that ICE arrested 680 people, who were mostly Latino, while raiding several food processing plants in Mississippi.
This used to happen in Iowa all the time when we lived there. and after we moved, we’d hear about raids.
The meat-packing plants were soon stocked with new or former workers bused back in. And on it on it goes. These plants need live bodies to do the work. Why Trumpers think this is some great thing is beyond me.
Someone has to do the work!
If we really wanted to address this issue, that is exactly where we would start.
Guess that’s the last food this plant will process. No white folk want to take these jobs, it’s hard and dirty work.
Oh, they are clearly the pluckees.
