    That’s why people are afraid to be deported?

    Like I get America isn’t without its problems, but if it’s so terrible, why is everyone trying to come here?

      Many seeking asylum were coming for the promise of a stable federal government that operates under the rule of law (instead of working hand-in-glove with cartels) and that won’t disappear their family members, torture, or murder them like they encountered in their home countries.

      They were coming for the promise of America, a promise that has been broken, battered, and pissed on at this point.

      What do you think they came here for? ICE raids and Alligator Alcatraz?
