Are you under the impression these are all needy homeless people? Unlike the lazy Americans you see sleeping on the streets and begging for money, these people provide for their families and take care of themselves with their jobs they’re being ripped away from.
No, most of them are very hard working people. But they are greatly taken advantage of.
All these well meaning people don't seem to care about that

Sounds like the Great Replacement "Conspiracy Theory" isn't so theoretical after all.

As per A.I.'s definition of the term: "The Great Replacement Theory is a racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that claims there's a deliberate plot to replace white populations in Western countries with non-white people, primarily through immigration."

Replacing whites with Hispanics doesn't make it any better.
Hispanic and white aren’t mutually exclusive but I don’t expect you to know that.

Further, Hispanics have lived in this part of the world since before there even was a United States so it’s actually the Anglo Europeans who are the outsiders who came to replace the native Latino population here.

No need. LA is already an Hispanic stronghold. No amount of state sanctioned repression or terror campaigns from the federal government is going to change that.
Quite different from belonging to Mexico. We will remove the illegals. Those who came legally are welcome, those who did not are not.

Then what was your point in saying, "LA is already an Hispanic stronghold" if not to distinguish them from white people? You make it sound like it's an issue of getting as many more Hispanics (Mexicans, etc.) into California as possible so as to establish a "stronghold" (your word) against people who are of European descent.
Perhaps we were correct about what Biden's handlers were intending to do, and that he had followers that want the same thing, even as they continued to deny it for the past 4 years of Biden's existence in the White House.

Who is taking advantage of them, their employers, right? Yet of all the ICE raids I’ve seen at people’s jobs where they’re supposedly being exploited by their employers, where these businesses are breaking the law and creating the very incentive for people to come here illegally, I am yet to see one business owner be treated in the same way, handcuffed, hassled and perp walked to a car to be taken away for being a criminal.

Why the double standard in policing?

I'm sorry, but that rant was just inane. But perhaps you are correct. We should do the opposite. All police sre hidden behind masks that show no facial features ,perhaps with some scary features incorporated just to put that fear of law into all you criminals.
The ICE masks are not for fear. Democrats were identifying those in raids, endangering the lives of officers and civilians. Additionally ICE has received death threats, and some radicals are willing to go after the families of the officers. Thus the need to remain anonymous. CRIMINALS, whether from BLM or Antifa or elsewhere, hide their identities to avoid prosecution.

If they're being taken advantage of, then maybe this isn't such a great country for them to be in. All they need to do to end the exploitation is to quit their job and go back to their home country. No more employer exploitation, no more being in a country that's supposedly racist, and no more having to worry about ICE doing for them what they should do themselves.

The whole idea of protecting officers seems to be confined to a certain day (January 6) and a certain place (Capitol building). Otherwise, it seems that there are those who see them as fair targets for bricks, fireworks and Molotov Cocktails (BLM, anti-ICE riots, etc.).

Read my post. You made the distinction between whites and Hispanics.

You’re ignoring the part where the employers are also breaking the law and harboring criminals. Why aren’t they treated the same way as the ICE detainees?

This is really sick. They wish to intimidate the officers. You can bet it is the same people who doxxed law enforcement officers before, who don't worry about putting the officers and their families in danger.
You mean the government security agency that does NOT have to provide evidence OR identification for who they are when they carry out their duties......


needs to have their identity hidden?

Yes. I know how offended you guys have been over Democratts fawning over and wanting to protect the officers who were doing their job protecting the Capitol and government officials from a few people's blood lust, and more than a few freedom cosplayers.

Yet you're the one who called LA a Hispanic Stronghold. Still waiting to hear why (since you appear to disagree with my interpretation of your statement).

You just can’t get over the old man, can you?
Considering what was done in his name, it will be hard to get over (repair) the damage he caused. Riots in LA being one result.

You’re ignoring the part where the employers are also breaking the law and harboring criminals. Why aren’t they treated the same way as the ICE detainees?
And you're ignoring the part that they wouldn't be breaking the law and harboring criminals (again, your word) if the criminals didn't illegally cross the border and take up residency here.

And a bit confused as to why "you guys" now speak against the officers who are doing their jobs beyond that day, and speak in support of those who throw bricks and fire bombs at them.

I have a problem with how they are carrying out their jobs....not just doing their jobs.

When the police cover their badge number, I have signficant problems with that too.

In what way are they carrying out their job that you have a problem with, other than that their badge number might be covered up?

Ask us if we'd prefer some sort of legal status which would allow interactions with the protective aspects of government w/o fear of being ripped from their live and families. Just ask.

They got one where I live.
A guy had several catfish farms and illegal immigrants working for him. One got hurt, the owner wouldn't pay for his medical bills.
He got a lawyer and then the Feds showed up.
That man is no longer in the catfish business.

You need to prefer that they don't have to work for subpar wages
