ICEBlock App

I think "racism" is an easy accusation and I don't see how it can be the chief driver of the problem when the races getting the most attention seemed to have been as excited about sending themselves out the door as everyone else was.

I see your point. Yes, racism is an easy accusation. It does not mean it does not exist, however, or that there is not a strong correlation between anti-immigrant views and racism. Are there non-white immigrants who also push to keep "illegals" out of the country? Sure. But this does not prove such people are the driving force behind opposition to illegal immigration. I think it just proves that politics make strange bedfellows. That principle explains how the least Christian of all political parties by policy could become the most popular party among American Christians.

Just because they weren't born American doesn't mean they can't be just as damned retarded as racists in America.

It's racism Gad. These people aren't complicated. It's difficult to be complex when you're dumb as a post. Just accept it.

An APP that allows you to warn others that ICE is near.

Has anyone downloaded it yet?

Any opinions about the ICEBlock app?

With an American citizen being held in ICE detention for 3.5 years under a Republican administration, and then a Republican appointed judge ruling that he wasn't entitled to any form of compensation for being kidnapped and falsely imprisoned for over a third of a decade by ICE, I'm going to avoid anything that rocks the boat too much, or that can tie me to trying to subvert the current administration's crusade of kidnapping and trafficking humans. I'm a single dad. My family and I have too much to lose.

Cowardice on my part, but I just can't risk being a squeaky wheel that gets greased.

I don't blame you. All I do is note that this is exactly what Trump & co. are aiming for. They want to terrify everyone into submission because that way they can continue to rule lawlessly without opposition. I'm with you: there is a limit to what I will do because I do worry about the ramifications for members of my own family. I may not be as vulnerable as you are in this regard, but I am not invulnerable or anywhere close.
