All of the ICE goons' harassment and atrocities are taking place in Blue State cities that didn't vote for Trump. This should be brought up over and over again to prove that there is no immigration crisis. The ICE presence is nothing more than yet another example of Trump retribution.
If there was a real immigrant crisis, ICE would be hitting places like the Tyson Chicken plant in Iowa.

A causes B ... Okay.
On the other hand, A and C pretty much always co-occur, so it's just as valid to say C causes B. Because you can't tell given the data at hand.
Not that the two can't both be reasons at the same time--but then there's still no way to tell if A started off as the cause of B and then C became more important because, well, you can't tell which (if either) is the real reason.

(8,013 posts)Local and national MSM have consistently referred to these masked goons as "law enforcement officers".
We are witnessing the normalization of mob rule.

(207 posts)There once were some raids in blue towns,
Where dissent was the crime that abounds.
They cried border collapse!
While they staged a loud lapse
In the cities where Trump wasnt crowned.
In precincts that voted not him,
ICE swaggered with posture quite grim.
If crisis were real,
Theyd go where its steel
Not places that simply vote lib.
They thundered of chaos and fear,
Yet skipped where the profits are clear.
No knock on Iowa doors,
At the plants and the floors
Just cameras in cities, not here.
If migrants were truly the flaw,
Why dodge every workplace with law?
The Tyson-line proof
Puts the claim on the roof:
Its vengeance, not justice, we saw.
So chant it again and again,
Till the talking point buckles and bends:
No crisis to find,
Just a grudge dressed as kind
Retribution parading as ends.
Call it theater, muscle, or spite,
But the patterns in plain, glaring sight:
Where ballots went blue,
The sirens ensue
And that tells you whos wrong, not whos right.
