Trumper or not, many people easily apply bad stereotypes to whole groups. I often hear: "I don't have anything against immigration as long as they do it legally. Except for Pedro down the street. He's a hard worker, he keeps his yard and house nice, and his kids are really sweet."
So you know, there's at least one Pedro and family in every town in the country.
Statistically speaking, less than 1% of immigrants (authorized or not) committing crimes. Entering the country without permission is the equivalent of breaching a contract: it may be wrong, but it's not a crime.
If the Great Pumpkin can eliminate due process and habeas corpus for non-citizens, he can eliminate it entirely.
May not scare you, but it terrifies me. Protest as often as you can. That may soon become illegal, too.

Tell me about it- everyone in my family is an immigrant. Now even those who came in "the right way" are having their status yanked without notice or cause, and that's terrifying.

While your present government administration terrifies even the like of me, living thousands of kilometres across the Pacific Ocean (kilometres are sort of the same as miles, except they come in decimal 'currency') ... (oh ... Pacific Ocean, that's the big body of water off the coast of California) ... (oh, again ... California, where Los Angeles is, was sort of stolen from Mexico ... I don't remember the year, it's your history, look it up, but it sort of makes all those Latino immigrants look like they belong there, no?) ... where was I ? ... your government terrifies even me ... but I am shocked that you have brought Peanuts into the discussion about your soon to be dictator.
Charles Schultz would never forgive you.

Could somebody tell those other sites not to post things that have 'view this post on Instagram' .... there is no way I am going to sign up to Instagram, they should please make the post visible on their site.
I don't think darling Miss C does that, but Nag on the Lake and a fair few others do.

Do I sound like a whinger ?

Lol.

What is it about being across one of the ponds? No Ista/Meta/FB for me either.
