  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Detaining someone for questioning (asking questions of everyone present helps determine the truth of any situation) is not "arresting" anyone...
We are talking about people being detained. With quotas now been given expect to see a lot more of that. And if you think that gettig hauled off and questioned for a few hours is a minor inconvenience, just because you have an accent or look 'foreign' and that's the type of country in which you want to live...well, you've got your wish.

It is discrimination IF a person is not detained because that person has a Texas accent and a SS#
IT is not unusual for employers to pay a section of even legal workers "under the table."
During an ICE raid, EVERY ONE is detained until all the papers are checked against government records.
ICE raids on workplaces is for taxes, income tax evasion and fraudulent papers.

I have been through ICE workplace raids.
I have been hauled off and questioned for a few hours.
I would rather be detained by ICE than face an IRS audit.
And ICE workplace raids are actually about taxes.

I live in the US.I live on the border where check points and border patrol activity is constant and welcome.
I understand and agree with ICE practices and the necessity for those remedies.

If a person lives in another country then that person may only know what sensational and possibly incorrect information that person's local news is distributing.

For instance, the Media was warning that without illegal workers people wouldn't have blueberries in their smoothies.
FACT blueberries are harvested mechanically.
Get the facts straight. So many untruths circulating to whip up sympathy for income tax evasion and people who are not going to the fields but to the cities to collecct welfare.

It is discrimination..
It is the world in which you live. Where you now have to keep ID on you at all times in case you get hauled away and questioned for a few hours. Oh, 'cept maybe you're white, have an 'American' accent and don't eat anyone's pets.

It's your new normal.

IF a person is driving, must have ID at all times. Can be detained for not producing Drivers License
IF a person is passing through a Border Check Point, have to produce ID
If ICE has a warrant for a workplace raid then you Must have a valid #SS number.
To obtain Welfare you must prove citizenship

In Arizona many illegals were self deported due to work place raids and lack of welfare.
An illegal cannot legally work in the US
An illegal cannot legally collect welfare
So exactly how is an illegal Legally going to live?

It is perfectly legal and not discriminatory to raid a workplace if that workplace is engaging in illegal work practices and income tax eveasion.
And detain all the employees and employers until the tax issues are sorted out. The IRS has the same and greater powers to command audience and that can be detention of many, many hours of paper inspection

THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE...even blonde, english speaking persons such as myself.
If you live in the US you would know that mostly we do keep ID on us at all times.
Even if we are white, have an American accent and don't eat anyone's pets, not like the Aussies who are especially fond of Mary's little lambs.

IF a person is...
...simply working somewhere. Or happens to be in the same vicinity as someone who speaks Spanish.

Look, you can bend this any which way you want. There are going to be in excess of 12 million examples of people being detained. At least, that's what your president is telling you. Welcome to your world, where lies are the standard currency. You only missed 1984 by 40 years. Close, but no cigar.

You are bending this any which way you want.
I have repeatedly told you what the conditons are for ICE Enforcement in the United States.
You make this a discrimination issue.
Are you saying that illegal immigrants are all spanish speakers?

You do realize that Border Patrol Agents are required to speak Spanish.
From what I see, most Border Patrol Agents in this area are Hispanic.

Your point is not supported by evidence.
Merely an assumption that the US is systemically racist and all illegal aliens are Spanish speaking
The first is almost a given in most areas. But I'm not interested in pursuing that in this thread. But at least 75% of illegal aliens are Spanish speaking: Profile of the Unauthorized Population - US

And more than 50% of Border Patrol Agents are Spanish speaking Hispanics
So What?
To accuse Spanish speaking Hispanic Border Patrol Agents of being racially motivated against foreign Spanish speaking hispanics is an absurdity.
More likely is the "Foreign" component that motivates the Border Patrol as it is the duty and function of that department to remove any undocumented foriegn citizens.
But then you will start claiming "Xenophobic" Aye?

IF we went by "sounds foriegn" we would all have to depart.
I spent hours trying to find McEvers Avenue down South in Georgia. I called the delivery point and that is what the guy on the phone said.
I finally called him back after inquiring of people walking down the street, in gas station and checking various maps and other locators. asked him to spell McEvers
He politely replied
M-e-d-g-e-r E-v-e-r-s

My podiastrist claims he moved out of the South after his son pronounced Red as a two syllable word.
And don't get me started on Boston "Dun Tun" spell that "down town"
But then I overheared a crew at a warehouse talking about my co-driver, stating the driver who was San Fransisco born and raised, sounded like someone out of Deliverance.

These are the consequences of allowing millions if illegals into the country. It's also the consequences of lousy immigration enforcement and requirements.

If businesses were required to e verify we'd see a lot fewer issues. The fact that a business hires illegals, gets raided and some Americans get picked up in the sweep is ON the business for either deliberately hiring illegals or failing to make sure they were legitimately employable.

I am perfectly happy with whats going on and making sure illegals are being sent back.

Trump has already shown his willingness to hit the countries hard who refuse to take their people back. It's only been a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the next couple of years.
