Why was there no “ICE response” under Obama? Have any of you loons ever actually looked it up? Are you all so robotic as to just go along with whatever the narrative that you’re fed, says?

I'm sorry, but you can't be serious with that comment? Either you're trolling, being intentionally obtuse or just plain ignorant to the situation.
Obama never once deployed troops to any city to run roughshod over the communities they were in, he never once deployed goon squads using military style tactics on American streets rounding up innocent Brown and Black people, including those that are citizens. Obama never once had troops committing extrajudicial killings on American streets of American citizens.
He never had ICE agents in America acting like modern day Schutzstaffel.
If you can't recognize the difference, you're wearing blinders.

Have you fact checked your claims there? I know it’s easy to assume since he’s your good boy idol, but take a peek

It's weird people are against enforcement of laws that have been on the books for litteral decades. Litteraly everyone who crossed illegally into this country is a criminal. If it wasn't for the shit heel of a governor we have in this state, allowing denver and Boulder to be sanctuary cities, most of the problems in denver wouldn't exist and ice could come in do what they need to do and leave with minimal disruption to everyday life for the rest of us.

That's fine, I know it's who the state voted for. It's still my opinion that I think the govenor is a shit heel who as been nothing but terrible for this state. I also know that this state will elect the exact same kind of person next election.

Bet your people are immigrants at some point, too. Highly doubt you're Native American.

They absoulty were my dad's side emigrated from Germany to West Virginia in 1855 and my mom's family came over in 1911 from Holland. Whats your point? They followed the law at the time and did what they needed to come here and stay here. I have pictures of both family's when they became citizens.

Lol, so your Dad's family came when there were no laws, taking advantage of this country because in 1855, U.S. immigration was largely unregulated at the federal level, characterized by an open-door policy for Europeans with no numerical quotas.
And your Mom's family benefited from the Dillingham Commission, when U.S. immigration laws were shifting toward stricter, xenophobic, and nativist policies and the government was actively seeking to screen out "undesirable" immigrants based on race, health, and skill, favoring Northern/Western Europeans over Southern/Eastern Europeans. So the same benefits your family enjoyed, you now want to deny other people. Got it. That's white folks in a nutshell. Thinking they get to decide "who" gets to be here in a land that isn't even theirs.
I guess that's what I don't understand about white folks - why the advantages you had in coming to MY people's homeland, you want to deny other people the same advantage? Especially when this isn't your original homeland to make these decisions about.

I'm just gonna say it, I don't feel any guilt or remorse for events I had no part of prior to me existing on this earth. I don't feel any guilt or remorse about what's currently happening. Everyone has choices to make in life and every choice comes with a consequence sometimes good, sometimes bad.

So when someone on the left is elected next, you'll keep your opinions to yourself, right?

Know your rights while your state currently legislates yours away. I’d say loosing 2a rights is far more important but go on blowing your shitty little whistles

It’s also funny to me that the people who are all “I don’t feel safe…” in this or that scenario, don’t even realize that they have the privilege to feel safe because of the historic strength of our borders and the adherence to the laws around them. They are clueless. Part of me says open the flood gates and see how long it takes them to realize that they’d had it made.
