They admit to condoning racial profiling. Just that simple. 

What I'd like to see is an organization getting a bunch of very tan men to dress up like scruffy nerfherders and hang out in front of Home Depots. When ICE confronts them, pull out their US birth certificates. Lawsuits galore and a possible gumming up of this activity. 

Whatever this is, it isn't an attempt to find and deport "the worst of the worst". It's a way to go hunting in a target rich area to find ANY undocumented people, no matter how law abiding and peaceful. 

Now the DEA actions against the Sinaloa cartel is a real achievement. Lots of bad people; lots of drugs/guns. Bravo.

The vast majoroty of illegal aliens fit a certain profile and congregate in certain areas. 

This really isn't much differnt than the reasons behind a dui  check point.

Be nice, even when you don't want to!

But these aren't the murderers and rapists and thieves that Trump assured us that he was  going after. 

He's just trying for numbers; and their criminality doesn't matter a whit. 

Sorry that you can't see this for what it is. It's a racist attempt to burnish his cred as some "law and order" POTUS. 

It won't make you or me or G or DF or anyone else any safer. It won't increase job opportunities for white males. 

It will just make nativists happier. Nothing more. 

Are you happier?

He said he was going after all of them with a focus on bad ones first.

Trump has spent the best part of the last several years telling us that he wanted to remove "the worst of the worst", the gang members, rapists, murderers, etc. How soon you forget that this was his long term focus. Only more recently did this suddenly morph into removing "all of them". 

This is what is known as a "slippery slope". Those of us with ANY familiarity with history know how this can escalate. Too bad you aren't among those; despite your self-proclaimed knowledge of history. 

One thing that hasn't been discussed is the legal position of immigrants. When they entered the US without  proper "papers", they committed a crime. Here's the answer:

When a person enters the U.S. without proper authorization, they commit the federal offense of illegal entry, a misdemeanor under 8 U.S.C. § 1325. This is a low-level criminal offense punishable by a fine, up to six months in prison, or both for a first offense. This offense is separate from the act of unlawful presence, which refers to remaining in the country after a lawful admission has expired, and is not a crime in itself unless it follows a prior removal order. 

So the immigrant committed a misdemeanor when entering the US without papers. Why not a statute of limitations? If they don't commit other crimes, then their entry should eventually not be able to be prosecuted. Note that "unlawful presence" ISN'T a crime. 

So under what legal notion are we permitted to go after people that have been here past the statute of limitations? This should be discussed and litigated. Maybe those that have been here for a certain period of time should be treated like a thief  who didn't get caught within the statutory period of legal exposure. Their legal exposure doesn't persist indefinitely. 

Hmmmm.
