America Has Lost The Plot

For an hour and a half or so yesterday there was scuffling between police at the Broadview Il ICE detention facility and a group of protesters. I havent seen video of any injuries, but there have been arrests. 

The most visible difference between this day and others there is the number of uniformed police. The are many dozens of them. They are now warning the protesters they may be gassed. 

Is anyone ready for 3 more years of this, or maybe worse?   Noem said a couple days ago that ICE is just getting started in Chicago,  I guess so if just getting started means blatant racial profiling and snatching non criminals up off the street when they are at an outdoor cafe or just walking down the street. 

The American people dont want this or like this - which is why there are so many videos of citizens yelling "fuck you" to cops. 

America loves an underdog, and non violent and non criminal migrants who are being snatched up for living everyday life are the ultimate underdogs. 

God help us.

The disturbances will get worse unless ICE confines itself to stopping and arresting criminals.

Stop assaulting federal officers and the disturbances will go away.

You should be mad at your governor and every other official who spent the last few decades lying to illegals and telling them they were safe from deportation. Now Trump has to clean up the mess they caused by not doing the bare minimum (complying with detainer requests for arrested criminals).

As long as you stop grandmas on the street who have been here for 30 years with no criminal record and send them to detention centers for deportation, it is going to get worse. I'm flabbergasted that you dont understand that. 

ICE in Chicago has been stopping and arresting people simply because they appear to be non white.  This is not America, and people will never accept it no matter how much you try and run cover for Trump.

Terrible that your state encourages them to break the law and apparently manipulated most of your state into believing federal law doesn't apply there. 

The grandmas should sue Pritzker for lying to them.

Stop brutalizing peaceful civilians and maybe people will stop attacking federal officers. Stop taking pleasure in the dehumanization of people and maybe the attacks will diminish.

But the cult never wants to self-reflect. It’s heresy to suggest that any of the anger directed at them - be it verbal or physical - could in any way be brought on by their own behavior.

And then we see the whining of false victimhood. We’re supposed to care about agents under assault, but not the families being torn apart, or the people being injured or arrested for nothing more than expressing themselves. 

It’s like a man who sexually assaults women or beats his wife blaming his victims for the scratches on his face.

Peaceful citizens are not getting "brutalized." Such silly hyperbole.

Lol. You can't be making the argument with a straight face.

Though this is perfect projection at least. false victimhood indeed.

Yes, they are. Of course, if you’re the kind of person who thinks it’s not brutal to shoot a pastor in the head with pepper pellet, or throw people to the ground who aren’t fighting you, then there’s probably no point in trying to convince you. Unless you want to take one for the team, and see how it feels.

Why is it "heresy" to suggest that the enforcement of US law directed at people in the country illegally could in any way be brought on by their own behavior?

No, it isn’t. It truly is not. There is a difference. No one goes to prison just because they were present in the country illegally. The remedy for that is deportation, not jail. And about half of the people who are here illegally, entered legally.

according to AI (google)

  • Illegal Entry (Criminal offense): Entering the U.S. at an unauthorized time or place, or evading inspection by an immigration officer, is a federal misdemeanor for a first offense.
  • Unlawful Presence (Civil offense): Many undocumented immigrants enter the U.S. legally on a visa but overstay the expiration date. Unlawful presence alone is a civil immigration violation, not a criminal one. It can lead to deportation but not a federal criminal charge.

That presumes they didn't enter illegally.

Overstaying a visa is a civil violation. Entering illegally is a crime.

you are making a wild guess.

Do   Non-Citizen   Immigrants   Who   Work   Pay   Income   Tax?

Yes,   non-citizen   immigrants   who   work   in   the   United   States   are   required   to   pay   income   tax.   This   applies   to   all   immigrants,   regardless   of   their   legal   status,   and   includes   undocumented   immigrants.   They   must   file   a   tax   return   and   pay   federal,   state,   and   local   income   taxes   on   their   earnings.   The   tax   system   is   designed   to   ensure   that   all   individuals,   including   undocumented   immigrants,   contribute   to   the   economy   and   support   public   services.

How do Undocumented Workers File Tax Returns Without a Valid Social Security Number?

Though certain non-citizens are eligible for to receive Social Security numbers to pay taxes, unauthorized immigrants are ineligible to receive one. However, it is still law that individuals who reside in the United States, whether legally or not, and earn income here must pay taxes on that income, and file a tax return, regardless of whether the income was earned as an undocumented worker—a complicated legal conundrum.

Further, the IRS will not allow a tax return to be filed with a fake or stolen Social Security number. Therefore, unauthorized workers who wish to file their taxes–and potentially get future credit for it— must find another way. Thus, many use the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, which allows immigrants without Social Security numbers to legally file tax returns and claim the income reported on their W-2’s to the IRS.

1.2.19  zuksam  replied to  JohnRussell @1.2.16    last year

The ITIN is not useful for working, as it is only useful for federal tax purposes. Obtaining an ITIN will not change your immigration status or give you the right to work in the U. S. Working in the United States without documentation is illegal. Anyone who works without an employment authorization risks receiving a penalty that can range from fines to being deported from the country. Therefore, to get a job legally in the United States, foreign workers must first have obtained one of the following. Having an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), a PERM work permit, a Green Card, or lawful permanent residence. ▷ How to get a job in the United States while being illegal | Curbelo Law

If you read through the information in the Link that's pretty much what it says. In order to legally work in the USA an Illegal/Undocumented Immigrant must become a Legal/Documented Immigrant in some way that allows Legal Employment. The only way around it is to work Illegally by lying about immigration status and falsifying documents or working under the table for an employer who falsifies documents to account for the money being paid out or to present their employee as legally employable in which case the immigrant and possibly the Employer would be breaking multiple Laws.

I fully agree, but there are many leftists who believe that if an illegal makes it into the country, they should be able to work.

That is BS

Not necessarily. 

For all we know she cleaned houses or cut hair or sold paintings to tourists or tutored Spanish or any of a thousand other ways to make a living without stealing somebody else's identity.

I understand and agree, however, post 1.2.16 insist that illegals pay income taxes. I pointed out that if they did, they probably stole someone's identity.

These actions are designed to incite violence to bolster the Presidents probable declaration of an insurrection. The citizens don't even have to do anything besides be there. They increase the amount of uniformed officers, take them onto the street where the protesters are, throw some smoke and bangs then knock down someone so their camera crews can video them kicking the shit out of somebody.

Preferably the somebody is wearing black.

Then they retreat into the safety of the processing center where they can make their propaganda films. The people who were arrested can be released with a warning that the government can decide to press charges for up to a year.

All very crooked. All very disgusting. All very, very in character for the ICE commander.

Did ICE deport people during the Obama and Biden regimes? 
Did you know Obama was known ad the ‘deporter in chief’ as his own ICE ‘brown shirts’ deported more than what Trump has done. 
Where was your poutrage about these people being rounded up and deported then?
