How bad do things have to be for a group of people to be afraid to leave their houses because la migra might pick them up and place their family members in separate detention centers to eventually deport them? Or that people crossing the border not only have to be concerned about the environmental dangers, but also the more recent upsurge of people who kidnap migrants, steal from them, assault them, and hold them for ransom.

illegals ARE criminals, it is a matter of degree the type and level of criminality achieved.

We are back to the same stupid issue of white people being called "Supremicist" because they don't want illegals to invade OUR country.
